Hi,
A few years ago I successfully built my first Hackintosh, running High Sierra on a Z170XP motherboard.
I've now built a new PC on a Z390 UD motherboard (full specs in signature below). I have an M2 NVMe drive to boot into Windows 10 Pro, and an SSD which I intend to use for my Hackintosh macOS Catalina drive, and a legacy HDD with old backup files.
I've followed the instructions to the letter to build my UniBeast USB drive, and this boots into Clover, where I choose the Install macOS Catalina drive to boot from. It then begins this boot process with the white Apple logo and the white progress bar below it...
...but it reaches around 40% (just below the left bottom tip of the Apple logo) before I run into problems.
At this point, the display flickers, then returns, but without any video being output to the display.
I surmise that at this point in the boot process the graphics drivers are being loaded, and handover to the dedicated graphics is intended, but I just get no output of video from that point onward, leaving me stumped.
I was initially connected to my display via DisplayPort, but have switched over to HDMI as that is a more built-in standard on Mac, but I still get the same issue, and am unsure how to proceed.
Theories thus far are:
1. Instructions specified to disable "CFG-Lock" and "IO Serial Port" but I could not find these settings in my BIOS (version F9).
2. Instructions specified to disable "Secure Boot Mode" but I only have two options in the BIOS, "Enabled" and "Custom" so I chose the latter.
Any suggestions for how to proceed next would be gratefully received!
Thank you.
