Config:

iMac Pro X299 - Live the Future now with macOS 10.14 Mojave [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

Up and successfully running macOS Mojave 10.14.4 (18E226) on iMacPro Skylake-X/X299 This afternoon @DSM2 advised me that yesterday Apple seems to have added a second special build of MacOS 10.14.4 (18E2034) on swcdn.apple.com, likely for new devices. Abstract and Introduction: This...

but the boot process fails on:

END RANDOMSEED
++++++++++++++++

I've tried several MSR 0xE2 patches, OxsAptioFix and AptioMemoryFix but still no luck. Any thoughts?
Does anybody have running system using EVGA MB?

• If you have already tried different AptioFix ....efi files and still getting Memory Mapping error you have quoted, it is time to check your RAMS as the cause of your problem.
• Try removing the Module farther away from the CPU and boot using the RAM in the Socket closest to CPU.
• If that does not solve the error, then install the Removed RAM in Socket #1. (Closest to CPU)
• Always use Verbose Mode to boot.

I'm at wit's end with a similar problem to Anton above in attempting to install Mojave 14.3. I have:

EVGA x299 Micro 2 board (BIOS v1.09) with an i9-9900X,
64 GB DDR4-2666 (4 sticks in 4 slots),
ASUS RX560.

Similarly tried KGP/X299-EFI-Folder-Distrubutions, and met continually with the row-of-plus-signs and stall. No help using the latest UniBeast-9.1.0 either.

Currently running Scientific Linux 7.6 without a hint of trouble. Oddly enough, I'm able to get High Sierra 13.6 running using KGP's EFIs, but not a peep from Mojave with the same Clover settings. I even tried a Mojave upgrade from a running 13.6, and nope. I've scoured all posts related to the plus-sign stall, tried just about everything. Plus signs!

 

[AntonSemanyk]

@normbartley can you please share your EFI folder for high sierra?
Also any specific BIOS settings?

 

[normbartley]

Happy to help. The BIOS settings are all the system defaults. There doesn't seem that many settings to tinker with relative to other boards, and nothing I tried improved things. I finally reset everything to default on the main BIOS screen.

The EFI folder is exactly the EFI-X299-10.13.6 SU-Release-iMacPro1,1-121218 in KGP's EFI collection. I added a couple of kexts that I thought might help some of my early problems, but removed them because they were unnecessary. Ultimately, I only modified the config.plist, which I'm happy to attach.

Just a word about my working High Sierra installation, however. It is not smooth. Typing is a problem (as noted by some others), with a delay and skipped or duplicated characters. The system often does not respond immediately to mouse clicks. I was disappointed, but not surprised, that wifi and bluetooth don't work. Wired ethernet does work. Other OSs, such as Linux and FreeBSD work perfectly, so I know my hardware is fine.

@normbartley will try tomorrow and get back with the result, thank you. Some time ago I had the same problem with input devices when disabled legacy usb support in bios. Will see what it will be for me if I'm able to setup HS. I also have several ideas for Mojave, will try them tomorrow.
Seems that mojave kernel has changed and xcpm_core_scope_msrs patch is not working.
I've found another one:
31D2E8AE FCFFFF -> 31D29090 909090

In my experience, The X299 is problematic with RX5xx cards. Works great with Vegas and I had good luck with an old W7000 card. I don't know if anyone has got an X299 working correctly with RX5xx video cards. They seem to work a lot better with the Z370 motherboards.

 

[AntonSemanyk]

@normbartley I'm able to run Mojave and everything seems to be smooth, no lags or glitches.

 

[normbartley]

Thanks for letting me know, Anton. Thanks also, m_f about the RX5xx cards. That's consistent with what I've seen elsewhere. I also see that the RX560 is not in buyer's guide (but the RX580 is). I'll upgrade to a recommended card.

 

[AntonSemanyk]

@normbartley ping me if you need my config.plist. Also I'm not seeing any issues with RX580 and think that RX560 should also work well. As I know there might be issues if you are working with video editing tools, but if not, that should not be a problem for you.
