Sorry if this was covered, but I haven’t seen it in the thread and I’ve gone through the whole post.
I have a:
ASRock Phantom z390 ITX/ac - BIOS v1.6
Intel 8700
Corsair Vengeance 16GB RAM
Samsung 970 EVO 500GB
I followed the Designare guide linked in the first post for creating a new installation of Mojave 10.14.6, and I was able to load Mojave and enter the GUI. I then followed the “post-installation” steps in the Designare thread which includes tweaking the config.plist, adding kexts, etc. I then added the specific settings and kexts for this thread on top of what’s listed in Designare. I figured some things in the Designare thread were important, like making sure Ethernet ports work. When I saved the config.plist and restarted the Hackintosh it took over 40 minutes to get about 80% loaded for the boot-up loading bar and then stalled at 80%. I did not have Verbose on, but clearly there are major conflicts. I am just going to start from scratch and install a clean version.
When should I stop following the Designare thread and only follow this guide - once I can enter the Mojave GUI?
EDIT: Going to experiment with following the Designare guide up until MultiBeast, then using all of the resources in this thread. Will update.
EDIT 2:did what I proposed above, loading macOS went very fast until it reached 50% and then slowed to a crawl, again stuck at 80%, going to do errands and see if it gets fixed. Will try again with Verbose on to catch the issue
