Hi Guys,
I'm having real trouble trying to get my 3040M (Micro) to load the installer from the clover boot loader for Mojave.
I've followed many of the incomplete guides on this forum and i'm constantly getting hanging or KP's within a few seconds of selecting the installer after booting the USB. I get to clover fine but upon selecting the installer thats when i run into issues.
I've read it could be to do with memory, i've tried various different tutorials with no avail, namely https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...dell-optiplex-3040-sff-mojave-10-14-5.273110/ - this thread is fairly confusing as i dont know if the original post was updated after the 12 pages of discussion resolving problems. In any case i've followed the original posts instructions to no avail, as well as the two rewritten versions throughout that thread, with no avail.
I've attached a screenshot of my most common boot "hang", if its not this then its KP with different EFI configurations.
I've tried so many EFI configurations that i'm not sure whether its worth adding these details to this post and hoping if someone can help me start fresh.
My spec is as follows:
i7-6700T (using onboard HD530 graphics)
8GB PC3L 12800S RAM
500GB HDD
I'm not new to hackintoshes, i've had success with custom builds as well as many other Optiplex machines but all predating the 3040M Intel generation buy a couple years.
I'm not just looking for a hand out, happy to be pointed in the correct direction or try any suggestions. Although if anyone has a working 3040M that'll be just swell!
