Is it necessary to do the Multibeast installation? even if there is no version for Catalina only the one for Mojave
Btw: i have a i7 4790K + Mob Asus Z97-P + RX 580
I'm about to install Catalina and i don't know if i need togo through these steps:
Or just pass directly to copying Kexts?
- Run MultiBeast with the following ticked
- View attachment 431142
- Thereafter install Clover 5070
First - there a good general guides already. Will concentrate on what worked for this specific setup. It is an older system and therefore some might need that.
Fresh Install (upgrade is below)
Upgrade from Mojave
- Create boot disk as stated here in the Update directly to MacOs Catalina thread
- Remember to use the mentioned config.plist from This
- Use Clover 5070
- Use the following kexts (in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/)
- AppleALC.kext
- FakeSMC.kext
- Lilu.kext
- NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
- RealtekRTL8111.kext
- WhateverGreen.kext
- Add the following files in a sub folder on the USB
- Clover 5070 install
- Latest MultiBeast
- Clover Configurator
- Boot and install from your USB and choose the Catalina install disk
- I would start formatting your target disk with the Disk Tool - remember to use APFS
- Will boot 3 times during install
- Just before I was to login for the first time I got Black Screen
- Use HDMI to finalize the setup - you can revert to DisplayPort later
- (if you boot with injecting AMD graphics you might not see this)
- Complete your setup and you should now be in Catalina
- Network, sound etc might not work yet
- Do NOT state that you will be using a network (the setup guide crashes)
- First thing thereafter is to install EFI
- In terminal run "sudo mount -uw /". Otherwise you cannot install Clover
- Run MultiBeast with the following ticked
- View attachment 431142
- Thereafter install Clover 5070
- Just to be sure I copied the 6 mentioned kexts to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/
- Now configure your Config.plist
- Run Clover Configurator - Mount the created EFI drive
- Settings

- View attachment 431144View attachment 431145
- View attachment 431146
- View attachment 431147
- View attachment 431148
- Update - After reading the post MacOs Catalina 10.15.0 usb port limit removal patch the last picture should look like this
- View attachment 431217
- Never mind the Airport bit in the last picture (is for my wireless card)
- Save the Config.plist - Reboot
- All should be working now. You can use the DisplayPort again. Go ahead and create your SMBIOS settings BEFORE YOU LOGIN TO ICLOUD
Hope this helps some of you out there with an "older" Motherboard.
- Make a backup (I can recommend CCC)
- Do step 3 from above (the sudo mount is not needed)
- Do step 4 from above - in principle it should not need much adjustment if your current setup in Mojave is working. But the ATI Inject is important to avoid the black screen
- Reboot
- Go to System Upgrade - Upgrade to Catalina
- On first reboot choose the Preboot installer - next reboot choose the Install - and finally the MacOS
- You should now have a well running Catalina

I swapped out my Sapphire RX580 with GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC
Process was:
- Remove old - insert new
- Add agdpmod=pikera to the bootflag
- Remove ATI Injection
=> Works
****** This means the guide might be limited on RX 580 advice going forward ********

Depends on what you experience - how far in the guide do you get? And what errors do you see?Am struggling with a very similar setup, my motherboard is an Asus Z170 Pro Gaming. Any idea how I could get it to work with it?
