Hey guys, I need a helping hand creating the USB installer so that I can reach the installer screen (always reboots with End random seed and some extra messages which are to quick to read in verbose and debug doesn't seem to hold/work there). I was trying to follow to RehabMan's guide to the letter which worked some year ago nicely for 10.12.6. But I can't pull it off for 10.13.6. God knows why.
This is where I come from:
- Bios settings as recommended and pgraphics preallocation set
- used terminal to create partitions on usb thumbdrive
- Used his guide for USB clover installer: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/
- I tried Rehabman's latest clover build from here: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/clover/downloads/ (2018-10-10). But the standard clover settings for UEFI drivers doesn't come any close to his UEFI drivers screenshot. I quote: "the defaults for Drivers64UEFI are recommended" - that doesn't come even close to his screenshot: drivers64uefi-png.353014
- As these recommended settings (HFSPlus.efi was added manually of course) failed me to reproduce the given screenshot, I added the missing files from here: https://github.com/athlonreg/Clover_Build/tree/master/drivers64UEFI to complete the screenshot recommendations
- kexts added manually as per recommendation (screenshot)
- I also gave it a try to turn off the patch of RehabMan's config.plist because quote: "If your laptop has DVMT-prealloc set as required (64MB or 128MB), you should disable or remove the 32MB patch. You will find such patches in config.plist/Devices/Properties/PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x02,0)." I used PlistEdit Pro for the job.
And yet... I can't make it to the installer screen. Reboot after reboot. I tried dropping tables, -x as clover option - nothing got me to the desired installer screen
added note: sometimes I manage to read that my cpu might not be supported - but the text is too fast and I have never/ haven't swapped the cpu since 10.12.6.
I'm lost. Please help
Thank you so much
and I believe the renaming string for terminal in the USB installer creation guide for HIGH Sierra has a typo:
# rename
sudo diskutil rename "Install macOS Sierra" install_osx
I think it should read "macOS High Sierra"
