I'm up and running - I know which ports don't work so I'll just not plug the external hard drives into those ports and I'll use my Anker usb hub for that anyway. Sound works, wifi works, me happy. :) Saved my USB installer taped it to the computer case so I can't lose it if it goes haywire...

The 4 stacked usb 1 ports seemed not to have a problem with anything being plugged into them, but never registered anything into the hackintool window. The one port on the front didn’t register anything and the one red port both marked NO WORK just acted like they didn’t exist. I’m outta ports...

Alrighty then. I'm up and running with a modified USBPorts from Hackintool. Got my map - does this look somewhat right? The ones I labeled "NO WORK" ... don't flag anything. It didn't matter what I plugged into the USB1 ports, nothing changed but they all appear to work with keyboard/mice/etc.

OK. Copy EFI folder - should I do the USBPorts following https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/the-new-beginners-guide-to-usb-port-configuration.286553/ ? And after it is booted from the hard drive EFI or while it's still usb booted from install?

Monterey install complete - it's restoring from the Time Machine backup of prior users, apps, etc. I presume once this is all done processing that I will need to move the EFI folder onto the EFI partition of the hard drive. What other config will be necessary? (I'm learning a lot with all of...

Here goes nothin. :)

No worries. I will format and recreate a new installer drive now. What would you like me to do as far as an EFI folder once I've done that?

I left it running last week when covid knocked me down, it was still at that 1% mark when I turned it off today to get the screenshots for you.

And then right after them hellacious days at work, I got COVID. Today is the first day I've been vertical since. Here's the screenshots as requested:

Apologies, the last two days have been hellacious at work - will get this asap.

1) Yes - created install file for Monterey following instructions. Used EFI folder from a similar board to help get started, but it is different enough not to complete boot so far. 2) Yes, z390 auros pro. 3) Fresh install on blank ssd. It let me get as far as running the installer, then when it...

I borrowed someone else's - OpenCore is a complete mystery to me, trying to learn as I go. I figured out #2 here. Trying now with both of these two suggestions. Update - no change. Still stuck at same place.

OK, replaced the SSDTPlug and tried all ports - still same error. EFI Folder attached.

I'm gonna try that now - no worries I'd be totally lost without everyone's help on this thread.

Using usb 2.0 stick, tried all ports and get same thing.
