I created a Boot Stick on a Macbook with Uni Beast
But the Problem is i don´t know what Boot flags i should use, or other options in Clover...
Maybe some Bios Settings miss , i don´t know
For this installation i use the hardware form profile except the graphics card, i just use intel graphics 4600
My aim is a clean install of Mac OS High Sierra on my 850 Evo 500GB
Please Help me! If you need any data let me know...
Something's amiss, but here are some basics re
Z87 and Z97. Please note that I use HFS+, not APFS. Add latest APFS driver if you use that file system:
1) You don't need the latest firmware for the Z87/97 motherboards; but check the Gigabyte website to make sure you have firmware that works well with Haswell. For my OC board that's F7. Don't use beta firmware. If you update, do it from a flash drive using Q-flash; don't use the
@BIOS utility.
2) In BIOS (UEFI), you know to start by loading optimized defaults. Use the profile for your RAM, if you need it. No OC on your processor. Fast Boot (DISabled); Execute Disable Bit (Enabled); Intel Virtualization (Enabled); Secure Boot (DISabled); Boot Mode Selection (I suggest UEFI and Legacy, but can try UEFI Only); Storage Boot (Legacy Only); Initial Display (PCIE 1) if you use first slot; XHCI Mode (Smart Auto /or Auto); Intel Graphics (DISabled); Intel Rapid Start (DISabled); Legacy USB (Enabled); XHCI Hand-Off (Enabled); EHCI Hand Off (DISabled).
3) Very important: In order to disable
CSM you must not use "Other OS" in BIOS.
Instead set to "Windows 8" (and if you dual-boot and use Windows 10, that's the setting as well; if your system is macOS only you still set to Windows 8). When you do that it opens up the CSM Support setting below it. Now change that setting to
"Never." See post #53, by Antilogical:

Solves a monitor blackout. Now the Clover boot loader and the entire boot up process are in full resolution, and the startup takes far less time. And the boot up in Windows 10 is also almost instantaneous.
4)
Follow this guide by ILikeHackintosh to install updates, a huge help:

In the latest High Sierra, for updates, you won't have to disable SIP. You can keep SIP on.
5) Make sure the MATS table is dropped in your Clover plist:
A kernel panic results from an invalid character in the MATS table in the system UEFI with Z87/ Z97 boards, as detailed by Moheban79 here (#7):
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...n-in-clover-configurator-to-drop-mats.226488/ and worked out in Pikeralpha et. al. discussion, ”Chameleon and High Sierra…” for a solution re Z87/ Z97 boards and High Sierra:

6) You have AMD Radeon, and there are specific kexts/poss. drivers for later AMD cards that
may apply to your card--but I had a 280X and I believe the 200 series have Apple drivers built-in--check other threads. Try with your card in first, but if necessary try installing with your video card taken out, using the Intel graphics, which you'd have to set up in BIOS.
7) And more to the point, always use
the latest versions of Clover and all kexts (and drivers); if you use UniBeast and MultiBeast, make sure they're the latest versions. I use Rehabman's installer detailed here:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/
This method really works well. With High Sierra, don't put kexts into S/L/E. It's debatable whether or not to put kexts into L/E or even into the disk EFI (aside from the kexts mentioned in Post #1.) You could put everything into your flash drive installer and boot from that, but that's up to you. Clover will inject regardless. I use these kexts'
latest versions: [Lilu]; IntelMausi, USBInject, FakeSMC, and both FakePCIID were RehabMan’s; and VoodooHDA (at least 2.9.1). I replaced the VBoxHfs-64.efi UEFIx64 driver with Apple’s HFSPlus.efi.
8) Settings on your Clover plist, post-installation using Clover Configurator, can be complex, but start with the MultiBeast installation's plist. I believe one relevant setting, “Dart=0”, per Rehabman, negates the
VT-d that seems enabled by default in the UEFI. Also, make an SSDT with this method:

Please go to my profile and other posts for addition information re Z87/97.
I hope this helps. Cheers!
