Disabled serial boot and got past printf issue. For some reason, serial port is still getting recognized. Is there another setting that needs to be changed?

This is after swapping out OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi with OsxAptioFix2Drv.efi and VBoxHfs-64.efi with HFSPlus.efi, as suggested

Try using the forum search tool using your hardware as search terms.
For instance, one thread suggests using npci=0x3000.

• IntelGraphicsFixup.kext latest
• Lilu.kext latest
• CodecCommander.kext(Rehabman)

• Reboot with that USB.
• From CBM screen choose Verbose boot to catch (Photo) any boot failure screen to figure out the next step.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried that, but still seeing the same issues. Please see attached EFI, log message, and BIOS screenshots for solidarity.

• I noted your CLOVER/kexts/Other in the backup EFI.
  • You have the proper kexts in the/Other folder
• But the config.plist has conflicting options regarding Intel and Nvidia Graphics and there was no chance for that USB installer to boot with that EFI to its target despite having the right kexts in /drivers64UEFI and /Other folder.[ Please look at the config.plist>Boot/Devices/Graphics/System Parameters to know why that would fail]
• I checked the uploaded BIOS screen shots also. [I see a lot of conflicting options chosen for Graphics> See Settings\Advanced\Integrated Graphics configuration ->[PEG]
• If you are using the Onboard Intel HD 530 using the uploaded BIOS with PEG, it won't boot.
• If you are using NVIDIA graphics card in the slot and using the above BIOS but the config.plist you had uploaded , it won't boot until you can install NvidiaWebdriver in the System for which you have to have a system!

• Use correct BIOS for IGFX
• Remove PCIE NVIDIA card from the MoBo if it is still in the PCIE slot and connect Monitor to Intel HD 530 Graphics Digitally.
• Change CLOVER with the suggested kexts in my previous post [ This was lacking in the EFI uploaded in #1 and no mention of how you have connected your Monitor but the BIOS choices listed indicated the right DVMT Pre-alalocated for IGFX but the choice of IGFX was not mentioned.]
• Change config.plist to use Intel HD 530 with proper FakeID 59128086 and ig-platform-is=59120000
• Change config.plist>Boot with -disablegfxfirmware shikigiva=1 -v dart=0

The only way you can boot the system:

• Use correct BIOS for IGFX
• Remove PCIE NVIDIA card from the MoBo f it is still in the pCIE slot and connect Monitor to Intel HD 530 Graphics Digitally.
• Change CLOVER with the suggested kexts in my previous post [ This was lacking in the EFI uploaded in #1 and no mention of how you have connected your Monitor but the BIOS choices listed indicated the right DVMT Pre-alalocated for IGFX but the choice of IGFX was not mentioned.]
