Try resetting CMOS. Once you do, remember to set your BIOS settings to the state recommended by the guide. Resetting CMOS resets BIOS settings to their default states. If resetting CMOS doesn't work, reinstall the BIOS. Just like resetting CMOS, if you have to reinstall your BIOS, you'll have to...

Well, I'm a bit of a neophyte at mucking around with low-level firmware and OS boot logic, but... I'll contribute a lesson I learned painfully over the last few days: if you can't get the BIOS Flashback feature on your ASUS board to work and you have PCIe cards installed on it beyond your GPU...

So since yesterday, I've been in the process of updating my build to @kgp's latest and greatest. Specifically, I installed the latest BIOS patched with read/write MSR register fix and now I'm in the process of updating it from iMac 17,1 to iMac Pro. However, since I patched the BIOS, I've been...

Big thanks to @macandrea for this. The createInstaller script makes D.2 so much easier.

I'm trying to put the installer together on a MacBook Pro 15 running 10.3.2 17C205. I had that same thought: Googling "ERROR_B14B14D9B7" turns up exactly one hit, in some scripting logic that looks like a version check. Since I was one SU behind when I started working on this, I had hoped that...

I'm trying to build the 17C2120 installer per section D.2 of the guide, and I noticed what might be a bug in step D.2)2. There's fourteen curl download commands listed. The fifth one and the last one use the same URL: curl...

I actually have the Hyper x16 card. I picked it up because I have a bunch of old smaller NVME drives I wanted to RAID together on the Windows side, but Intel's strategy for the whole RAID/VROC thing on X299 is just a complete and utter disaster and I couldn't get it to work. The other issue I...

My motherboard is on the most recent version of its BIOS. By BIOS for NVME, do you mean firmware? I updated my drives' firmware via Samsung Magician before I installed macOS. I'm almost certain that the problem is APFS-related. I did a bit of googling about performance issues due to APFS, and...

So I've set up my machine with a couple of NVME drives. One is the boot drive and installed under the heat shield on the mother board. The other is installed in the vertical slot to the right of DIMM slots. For reasons I can't figure out, the second drive doesn't immediately mount on log in...

Also, thanks to @braindeadmac, for suggesting that I minimize the amount of USB stuff connected and @paulotex for advice related to the various flavors of OsxAptioFix.

So a few weeks ago, I posted here looking for help getting my new machine up and running. It was inexplicably panicking or freezing during the boot process. It turned out that I had both a bad motherboard and CPU. I exchanged both, followed @kgp's guide, and now my machine is up and running...

KP is after a long row of +, which is preceded by the message: "OsxAptioFix2Drv: Starting overrides for \.IABootFiles\boot.efi Using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no" 1. For every attempt, I'm reinstalling BIOS 0802 and configuring it according to section B1 of the guide. 2. Not yet. 3...

OK! And I followed @braindeadmac 's advice: -Cleared CMOS -Reset the BIOS (to version 0802, same as I'd been using yesterday) -Configured the BIOS per KGP's guide except that I disabled ASUS Multicore Enahncement and XMP. -Unplugged everything but the keyboard and mouse, the USB install flash...

Thanks for the clarification. Section C.)1.) kind of implies that "EFI-X299-10.13.1-Release-061117.zip" attached to the OP is based on 4233. And yeah, Clover went from 4289 to 4297 over the course of the day. Someone's been busy, it seems. Duly noted. The reason I was confused on this is that...

I've been lurking here for a while, and KGP's excellent guide persuaded me that I should try building an X299 Hackintosh. The hardware I've chosen is pretty typical for this thread: Intel 7940X ASUS X299 Prime Deluxe 64GB 3600/C17 G.Skill RAM EVGA 1080Ti GPU 500GB Samsung 840 Evo initial boot...
