Ok - at last updating with what on earth happened. Further background - The Sierra OS SSD of my Hackintosh also has a Windows 10 partition. I have since learned that this is not best practice. Booting into Windows upset the entire BIOS profile and this is what needed rejigging. The builder...

Brief update, I'm back in, builder talked through some stuff today which has got my back into each OS - will report some specifics back asap, as this could be helpful for others. Then I will start process of Mojave reinstall in first instance to address "corruption" issues and start process of...

@Gigamaxx 1. 2. (What comes up by defailt) 3. Instruction followed re: slide=0 Result: On retry: Note that when I boot into Clover, as there is no shut down option, when I select exit Clover, the machine crashes every time ie screen black, computer stuck on "Ad": I took a look at...

@Gigamaxx thanks What do I do with: I am literally brand new at this and the only thing I have ever edited on a Hackintosh is my PreSonus Quantum kext. Do you mean I use terminal, and type a command: sudo slide=0 ie I have no idea what to do with that suggestion. "Since you have both windows...

Thanks @Shiitaki Before I process and act on your advice here, I think I need to at least work out what the heck I have done to my machine which is preventing it from even booting into either MacOS in the first instance. It seems that by following the instructions here...

Ok, I tried this first: The result: The change is not saved even when I select "save and reset". When I next boot up, I get the same Secure Boot Violation red screen. So I have to try again, hit delete and run through the process a second time. Clover then comes up at last - but in a...

Thanks. To clarify, I *am* starting from scratch. I have never used this machine before, it has been custom built for me. The corruptions described existed before I even started using the machine. I have not migrated to it yet. I have no intention of upgrading beyond Mojave. I have been...

PREFACE QUERY: Is this the best place in the forums for me to post this? Build: i7 5820K Radeon RX580 8GB GPU Memory: 32GB Gigabyte Alpine Ridge tb3 - thunderbolt card Asus RAMPAGE V EXTREME/U3 EATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard UEFI BIOS 2.16.1242 2 x bootable SSD: Mojave 10.14.6 SMBIOS Imacpro 1.1...

@joevt your advice has worked just fine under old, ancient, clunky Sierra, as well. Curiously, on using sudo kextcache -i / Terminal did not report any allowance for the kext w invalid signature, it appeared to remain invalid but the interface works just fine. This is a real win and again I...

I didn't have to do any more than apply the kextcache command. Terminal said: Bens-iMac-Pro:~ ben$ sudo kextcache -i / Password: KernelCache ID: 2A65DB5E85994619EF83A114E90DE1AF Kext with invalid signatured (-67030) allowed: <OSKext 0x7fe8b09b3280 [0x7fffae42c8e0]> { URL =...

@trs96 one more question - Acronis have separate products for PC and Mac. So... do I... buy the mac or PC version? I'm guessing PC...

Ah, thanks! Of course, the youtube vid presumes a "real" Mac is being used.... right, so obviously the software has a facility to create a bootable USB of the application which will do the job - I'll see if I can hunt down a bargain (I'm in Oz, but will likely find a US retailer, I imagine...)

I thought I did show the results in my posts? #311 to #313 above? ie I cut and pasted everything from Terminal, including "Requesting load of /Library/Extensions/quantum_driver.kext. /Library/Extensions/quantum_driver.kext loaded successfully (or already loaded)." Sorry @joevt, I am extremely...

@joevt Darn, nothing's changed as far as the Presonus goes. See attached new data... does this info shed any light?

@joevt Check owner/permission of all files and folders in the kext: find /Library/Extensions/quantum_driver.kext -exec ls -dl {} \; Result: Bens-iMac-Pro:~ ben$ find /Library/Extensions/quantum_driver.kext -exec ls -dl {} \; drwxrwxrwx@ 3 ben wheel 96 9 Nov 04:25...

Thanks @joevt Rebuilding the kext cache - Terminal said: "No work to do; check options and try again." Pasted: Bens-iMac-Pro:~ ben$ sudo kextcache -I / Password: No work to do; check options and try again. usage: kextcache -prelinked-kernel <filename> [options] [--] [kext or directory]...

Really dumb question here, but here goes: For creation of a bootable clone of my internal boot drive (running Mojave), including its EFI component, am I wanting Acronis True Image 2019 or 2020? I am not sure why, but this thread appears to state that 2019 can do the job easily but for some...

@joevt @Mixerjack Hi - Finally setting up my Hackintosh. No luck getting my PreSonus recognized ie Plugged in >switched on Presonus > switched on Hackintosh > PreSonus shows some TB activity but ultimately reverts back to a solid red light. This is before and after replacing the .plist file...

@stripealipe thanks for replying - as I run an external HD via TB2 at same time as my audio interface (also TB2) that's a practical necessity, but if using some sort of TB hub is a solution, that could solve the issue? I am aware TB is a delicate thing to get right with Hackintosh builds. I...

Hi, Aussie prospective Hackintosh user here, researching and prepping for a workstation build of a machine w 2 bootable system drives (Sierra and Mojave). Primary purposes: Video editing with FCPX, sound production with Pro Tools. Required connectivity: Thunderbolt 2, USB 3 I have posted a...
