Thanks for the tip on APFS, that makes sense. My SSD is formatted as MacOS Extended because I formatted it by booting using an old clover install from a separate HDD. That clover install had a "boot into recovery mode" which gave me the disk utility options, but it could only format partitions...

I couldn't figure out how to fix my previous problem on my Mojave install (Display flashing on and off), so I made sure my data were backed up and started with a completely clean install. I formatted my SSD as MacOs Extended Journaled, and reset my BIOS [Gigabyte Z170X-UD5] to optimized...

I am trying to change my system definition using this guide. I can mount my EFI partition, but when I navigate to it, there are no files (thus I cannot find my config.plist). What could be causing that?

It seems this got fixed and started working. I went to "boot recovery" to enter the recovery utils, then i quit and selected my existing disk as the startup disk. After rebooting, my Mojave boot did not have the flashing on/off screen, but the resolution was changed to be much lower. At least...

I had to do a fresh OS (mojave) install on my existing hackintosh, and before I started I saved existing data to a 2nd hard drive. Most things seemed to work fine after initial fresh mojave install, including HDMI Display. I then migrated user data from the 2nd hard drive using apple's built-in...

Wow, it worked. I was only 1 step away from finishing. Thank you very much for the help.

Thank you very much! Your explanation helps a lot. Yes, that's the case. So I will use the right-most APFS option, "Boot macOS from Mojave".

"preboot" option results in a prohibited (no) symbol

Attempting a fresh install of Mojave from USB (following the general install thread) on my machine. - Using 32GB USB drive. - Disconnected SATA cable from my 2TB HD before attempting install. I intend to make my boot drive a 512GB SSD. Initial step of booting clover from USB works as...

I need to make a new bootable USB (UniBeast) to reinstall the OS on my hackintosh, and I'd like to use Mojave. My MacBook Pro is already on Mojave. When I try to download Mojave from the AppStore, it tells me "you are already on the latest software". Is there an easy way around this? Or do...

Sounds good. Edited - tried again with your instructions but same results. Attached screenshot is as far as progress gets, then display stops (takes about 45 minutes). Is there a way to check if I have those kexts from the CBM menus? Or another method to check those kexts?

Changed both graphics values and re-ran "Install OS" boot option from CBM. Getting same error - kextd stall[0], (240s):'AppleACPICPU' Will try a few variations such as adjusting each value separately.

Clover menu options (some).

BIOS settings. On startup, I get to the CBM screen by default every time (So I assume BIOS is correctly defaulting to that boot entry). I notice there are a ton of boot options, I'm guessing a new one keeps getting created each time I try to run the installer.

Thank you very much for your detailed instructions. I did not have time for this for a while but trying again now. In verbose mode on the installer, here's what I'm getting. After the initial chunk, the logging became very slow, and nothing at all has happened for the last 15 25 min or so...
