<< Solved >> Error symbol on install boot. First Hackintosh attempt - super noob please help.

[Croaker]

Howdy....
I am trying to do my first Hackintosh build and have run into some issues. I have tried to follow the install guide to the best of my ability and look through some of the other support posts but cannot seem to find what the issue is. When I attempt to boot the installer it will end up at the prohibited icon. I have tried different USB ports (only using USB 2 ports), upped the allotment for onboard video memory, selected USB ownership and USB injection.
Here is my hardware list:
Gigabyte H370M DS3H MB
16 gig mem
Crucial 320gb ssd
i5-8400

Here are some screenshots of my BIOS setup... Sorry for the screenshot overkill, I just want to make sure I provide as much info as possible.
Thanks in advance for the help!

• Your BIOS screen shots are not overkill. All should try to post like you have done. They are what would be needed to understand your BIOS selection to boot the disk that is finding issues.
• Your BIOS screen shows Problem to boot Macos Mojave USB Installer using Intel HD 630 [See edited images]
• Your BIOS screen shots are not the cause of your "Prohibited Entry Error on boot.
• To diagnose the Verbose boot error, we need CLOVER from your USB installer
• You can upload CLOVER as a zipped file using the bulleted steps and images you can find -> #4

-I had the same issue and fixed it. Try these threads:

HELP! Cannot Reach Mojave Installer! Garbled Text and Circle With A Slash

The USB drive appears in BIOS and boots into Clover but the Mac OS Mojave installer doesn't show up in the Clover bootloader. That's what leads me to thinking I messed something up. I'm going to borrow a friend's Macbook later and make High Sierra and Mojave flash drives and report back if...

-I'm booting with the custom Clover folder from this thread but not sure if it will work with your hardware:

ASUS H370M-Plus Work-in-progress

Huge thanks to @ pastrychef P1LGRIM Roargasm zzmadd vincek8s for help solving problems with ASUS H370M-Plus build. Unlike the Z370 boards, the H370 uses a new chipset with integrated USB and Wi-Fi controllers. While UniBeast 8.3.2 and MultiBeast 10.4 worked flawlessly for HS 10.13.6 on a ASUS...

-Also make sure to enable your intel 630 iGPU graphics as default in BIOS if you are using them. It looks like you're using the "Auto" setting, which always defaults to a graphics card if one is installed. I learned this the hard way.

As other people have said you should upload your Clover folder from your USB drive so we can see what your config is. Use a program to mount your EFI partition and navigate to EFI/Clover

And in third screenshot, set dvmt total gfx to max and set wake on lan to disable.

Also you can get problems (no screen, but os starts up) with your display when using dvi or hdmi cable to monitor. DP cable will work for shure (when using igfx uhd 630).

• Your BIOS screen shots are not the cause of your "Prohibited Entry Error on boot.

I am not shure about that. I experienced that the bios settings are very sensitive. One simple wrong setting can lead to these kind of errors..
Anyway, in the first screenshot, I have csm enabled. Then you will get some important uefi settings! If I have time coming days, I will take screenshot pictures of the bios settings in my (succesfully working) Gigabyte H370M DS3H. (The computer is not connected now)

 

[Croaker]

Sorry for the delay in getting these up... It has been a crazy week. I have tried changing the setting from auto to the hd630 as well and still no joy. There is no other video card installed in the machine.

• I am 100% sure Croaker's BIOS Options ARE NOT the cause of the Prohibit Entry Sign Boot error.
• I suspected the problem lies in OP's CLOVER/kexts/Other folder lacking needed USB support kexts like USBInjectAll and or XHCIunsupported.kext and or config.plist_Devices with no USB FixOwnership .
  • I suggested to upload CLOVER as a zipped folder.
  • I pointed to the steps to get CLOVER from hidden EFI of USB Installer and upload.
    
• Please try to help, but don't mislead or confuse those asking for help by interjecting with unsubstantiated suggestions or contradicting without sufficient proof.
• Please read my comments again about OP's BIOS images and point to me and to OP what was wrong in them .
  • I am ready and willing to learn and correct myself if supported facts are posted..
• I have reviewed OP's BIOS images , edited and uploaded in thread #3
• I have categorically stated in BOLD
  • "Your BIOS screen shows Problem to boot Macos Mojave USB Installer using Intel HD 630 [See edited images]"
• I stand by my assertion: that OP's BIOS options are not causing Prohibit Entry Error.

• I will review your CLOVER to find possible cause for the Uploaded Verbose boot Screen Image showing Prohibited Entry Error .
• I have found clues for Prohibited Entry error in CLOVER/kexts/Other and in config.plist_Devices
• The config.plist_Gui_Hide Volume section editing is to make CBM screen Icons less crowded and confusing later during installation.

• I have uploaded edited images of Clover File Tree and config.plist Screen Captures.
• The config.plist editing is Preliminary.
• Further editing of ACPI SECTION may be required based on verbose boot screens

Ok, no problem, my remarks were additional to your remarks in #3.
