Gigabyte Z490 Vision D - Stuck at Apple Logo

[ChrisAsk66]

Hi.
I´m working on my second Hackintosh.

Trying to install Catalina from UniBeast USB, but I´m stuck at the apple logo with no progress bar.
I have tried installing without the Radeon card, but no luck.

Any help will be appriciated.

Different graphics card but I have the exact same other components and issue. I check the Z490 error code and it shows "AF" which is "Exit Boot Services". My verbose:

Check my post out here if your config is with the Gigabyte Z490 Vision D with Core i9, probably works with the other procs too:

Sigh, my old Optiplex 780 hackintosh died and I was pretty tired of how slow it was anyway. So I got all excited when I saw the buyers guide for the CustoMac Pro. Too easy right? Well it was up to this point. Per recommendation from the CustoMac Pro build buyers guide I went with the following...

Don't use the Unibeast USB stick as the version of Clover is not compatible with Intel 10th generation hardware like what you have.

You need to switch to the OpenCore bootloader (or Clover 5124 and later) if you want to install and run MacOS (Catalina or Big Sur) on your system.

@ChrisAsk66, I used it and it worked after I tweaked the hell out of the EFI partition post UniBeast. I uploaded my EFI in my thread sir and was able to succeed with the install and boot into the partition with Apple setup. Not to mention, I'm on an Intel 2011 MacBook Pro that I used GitHub to get the Catalina OS.

Granted, I have not have had time to test everything out yet... but so far so good. Yes, I did need OpenCore to do it.
