It's time to upgrade my 10.10 Yosemite Hackintosh but I am failing at the first hurdle.
I can't boot (even to the bootloader) from the USB stick. All I see is a blinking cursor.

I have tried Legacy and UEFI modes with Unibeast and I have included and not included the ATI drivers.
All with GUID partition map. (tried MBR also but the USB was not recognised at all)
I have re-downloaded Unibeast and Mojave

I am using Unibeast 9.0.0 and Mojave 10.14.2

If I boot from the Yosemite disk to the bootloader and then select the USB into Verbose I see the following.

"Loading Darwin 10.14.2
Kernel cache file path = /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache
Kernel Cache File '/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache' not found
Loading Kernel /System/Library/Kernels/kernel
Can't fine /System/Library/Kernels/kernel
Press a key to continue"

I have also tried 2 USB sticks.
And finally I did the whole exercise with High Sierra and the appropriate version Unibeast and that boots fine.

THanks

Install on the USB stick direct ?
Yes install USBInjectAll.kext to the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directory of the EFI-Folder on your USB drive. That is if you are booting from the USB drive.
 
That made no difference, thanks anyway.
