I tried using the options to boot both Recovery and macOS from the High Sierra volume using the boot USB but as I said before, I got an Apple logo and a place for a progress bar underneath when I tried those options, the system never started up from either one (last two options on the Clover...

Thanks again, @P1LGRIM , I'm giving the USB flash drive route a try now. I followed the instructions here - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/make-an-online-opencore-usb-installer-in-windows-10.321046/ There appear to be currently 3 different options for a Full Install of Catalina 10.15.7 - a...

Thank you for that clarification, @P1LGRIM ! (I was hoping this wasn't going to potentially be a total loss) Is there any documentation available on how to mount/manipulate the required volume/folders/files from either the UEFI shell or perhaps some other platform such as a bootable recovery...

@trs96 , @Jamesbond007 - I managed to make an even dumber mistake while prepping the system for updating to Catalina before attempting to go on to Ventura or Sonoma. I followed the instructions at https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/update-directly-to-macos-catalina.284463/ and updated to the...

You were both correct on the RX580 working out of the gate with High Sierra. I am kicking myself for not trying this before! As usual, I was overthinking things at the time. Thanks to both you and @Jamesbond007 for the sanity check! Now onward to updating to a newer hopefully actually still...

Thanks for the reply and suggestions. Before I can really use the new RX580, aren't there going to need to be some changes made to the system config to allow its use with High Sierra? I'm game for trying just installing the card though. Please note my other reply on this thread - I followed...

OK, so I followed the guidance for searching using keywords and found the following thread that looks really similar to my situation: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fix-for-failure-nvidia-web-driver-on-high-sierra-black-screen-panics.234390/ I followed the guidance there to use the...

I have a Hackintosh set up and upgraded through the last updates to the NVidia WebDriver and macOS High Sierra and Clover v4630. I know that's a long ways back. The system stopped booting all the way into macOS. If I try to boot from the High Sierra OS volume, the progress bar at boot gets...

@9re990 - how was your luck getting HP Z2 Mini G3 with ANY sort of video acceleration, whether integrated Intel Xeon Video or nVidia Quadro M620?

Well, that's essentially what I'm trying to do here, so yes! :-\ I've seen the same availability/pricing issues come up for Hackintosh-compatible WiFi modules. I guess when they aren't making them any more and there's folks like us out there still looking, it's a seller's market... :( Thanks...

Where are you finding these cards for these prices? I've been looking at Amazon and Newegg and can't seem to find anything in stock for these display types for any less than $280 - in stock seems to be the key part of that phrase - perhaps that's why they seem to be out of stock all the times...

I've been quite happy with my current setup running High Sierra, but am starting to run into software that insists in having Mojave or Catalina. At first glance, I'd like to think that all I need to update is my GPU/Video Card setup but was wondering if there are other hidden gotchas along the...

Thanks everyone! I went ahead and applied the update, the webdriver autoupdated and rebooted afterwards and all is well once again!

Using vulgo's webdriver --list command there appears to be a newer version of the nvidia webdriver available: 387.10.10.10.40.139 17G14033 Is this the correct webdriver version and high sierra build combination to be able to safely install Security Update 2020-005 (High Sierra) and then...

Is there a new version of this security update for High Sierra? I applied a version late last month after the new WebDriver version (136) came out, but now App Store is signaling an update available by the same name again. There DOES appear to be a new Webdriver version available now, based on...
