Hi All
Long time reader, first time poster. Great work being done here..
I've built an (almost) working Coffee Lake Hackintosh based around the ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Professional Gaming i7 and a Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ running High Sierra 10.13.5
Everything was working perfect. USB ports (with custom SSDT), 10GBe, USB-C, RX580 with no kexts or patches, sleep/wake etc.. (i'll post a build guide at some point).
Hit a bit of a snag when installing the Thunderbolt 3 AIC. It's working fine under Windows 10. The only thing i have TB3 wise is a 2017 MacBook Pro connected that's detected on Windows as well as in System Information. So i know it works in Windows using the latest ASRock drivers.
Problem occurs when it comes to booting. Clover doesn't seem to get past the Kernel Cache loading phase. Messages that i receive range from "Error Loading Kernel Cache (0x9). When I enable the "slide=0" boot argument i receive an error "Couldn't allocate runtime area" (screenshot included in post).
I've tried all the Aptio memory fix drivers for Clover - no go
I've tried Rehabman Fork of Clover (4444) using the -f option - Hangs at "Start ReadKernelCache"
I tried an "OsXAptioFix2-fix2000" driver using a guide on the forums - Same as above
Interesting the only way it boots is
A) Set the Thunderbolt settings in the UEFI to "Fully Disabled" - defeats the purpose of having the AIC card
B) Set the Thunderbolt security settings in the UEFI to "Secure Connect" - TB card isn't detected.
UEFI Settings for TB3
Advanced \ Intel(R) Thunderbolt
Also tried alternate UEFI versions available on the ASRock website - not helped
I'm starting to feel that the card just doesn't seem to work however searching various forums, it seems that other ASRock z370 users have had success with Thunderbolt..
Thanks in advance
