with the new mainframe working stellarly on OpenCore, thought I'd blow the dust off the old X58a-UD3R Xeon W3680 and set her up as a backup/archive server. Even have an XRAID I've attacked with the grinder to use as a case.
But no matter what I do, I can't get it to boot the Catalina installer...
Ran the upgrade from App Store (using iMac14,2). Install went through 3 reboots and seemed to complete successfully.
But now I get instant prohibitory sign direct after clover.
If I boot verbose, I just get instant black screen instead.
I tried various system definitions, doesn't change...
For some reason now I have to interrupt Clover's auto-boot, hit space and select 'Boot with selected options' or system will always boot in VESA mode. I'm not changing any options or boot flags, it should in theory be exactly the same as letting the auto boot continue. Clover's res is also stuck...

I did try initialling with -x but I can't boot the OS without it later so need to sort it.
I flashed the modded BIOS file from Asus patched BIOS repo and have the latest Unibeast.
Here's a list of boot...
I have a multi-boot setup where a drive with windows 8 on it was installed with the BIOS set to SATA RAID mode.
I can't modify this drive at all (last time I enabled the ACHI driver for windows something went awry and the drive got corrupted).
So to get multi-boot to work I need to make the...
Anyone noticed expose etc not being smooth with this card?
I have a Gigabyte GV-R577UD installed with the Kabyl chameleon mod and there is definitely something amiss with the UI performance.
I had a Geforce GT210 running but felt that the UI wasn't quite as smooth as new macs so I went to the...
