I generated a new USBPorts.kext (attached) with 15 ports: - USB 3 connectors have HS/SS ports - USB 3.1 connectors have SS ports only - USB C connector has HS/SS ports - USB 2 (internal) hub has HS port Installed the USBPorts.kext, removed USBInjectAll and PLP from config.plist. After rebooting...

Yes, I see all 26 ports: When I plug a USB 3.1 drive into the front panel, it mounts on HS09 instead of SS09. I've confirmed that the drive mounts as USB 3.1 on my laptop as a sanity check. Location IDs are the same, they get to 0x14F then start over.

I appreciate your time; here's a copy of my current EFI folder that contains the USBInjectAll kext and port limit patches. I'm trying to build a fresh installation on a spare drive to narrow down whether it's a configuration or system issue, although that's not going great either.

The major change made from the beginning of the thread until now was that I removed the USBPorts.kext that @Edhawk said was incorrect and re-installed USBInjectAll.kext and the port limit patches. The USBPorts.kext was limited to 12 ports, so the list didn't exceed the address space.

- Removed both FakePCII kexts from L/E, rebuilt & repaired: no change - Added XHCI-unsupported.kext to Clover/kexts/Other: no change - Removed EHC ACPI patches from config.plist and added XHCI to XHC: no change

Here's the contents of Library/Extensions: IOReg attached. Thanks for taking a look.

The hub I mentioned in the title is the only device mounting to the SS port, SS03: It enumerates on both ports, but all devices connect through port HS03. In the screenshot above I have an SSD plugged into a front case connector with a USB C to A cable. It only shows up on port HS09, not SS09...

Similar failure: After hitting a key after the error timeout I get:

The beginning of the problem is that USB3 devices are connecting to USB2; for example, if I plug a USB 2 drive into a connector on the front of the case it mounts to HS09; if I plug a USB 3 drive into the same connector it mounts to HS09 instead of SS09. Then there are the other config issues...

The port layout I was trying to get is: HS/SS03: Backplane, under HDMI port HS/SS04: Backplane, next to above connector HS/SS06: Type C connector on backplane HS/SS09: Internal header, goes to front of case HS/SS10: Internal header, goes to front of case HS13: 4 port USB2 hub on backplane I'll...

System won't boot with this Clover folder; I moved my existing Clover folder out of the EFI folder and replaced it with the one you provided. I get this at the BIOS screen: I then get the Clover screen, after selecting the boot drive I get: Then the system halts.

@Edhawk , thanks for the offer to help; I've attached the files you requested. I do have a 10GB NIC, as well as the 1GB on the motherboard. L/E folder has IntelMausiEthernet, as well as the FakePCIID and FakeSMC kexts. Everthing else is in CLOVER/kexts/Other.

I realized at some point my USB config was wrong and everything was running at USB 2. I followed the instructions at https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/the-new-beginners-guide-to-usb-port-configuration.286553/ and generated the USBports.kext. I installed it, removed the port limit patches and...

No change. Restarted and still no installer. If I hit F3 I see preboot volumes, trying to boot from installer preboot gets me the denied symbol.

A while back I had to follow the directions in this thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-how-to-remove-boot-os-x-install-from-partition-from-clover-bootloader.185201/ to remove a persistent installer disk on boot. Now I'm trying to 10.15.5 and when the installer reboots the machine...
