Hi Guys
Thanks for the install guide, through a number of hoops I got Catalina installed...quite the struggle, but it's booting now, kind of.
Unfortunately it's not quite finished. <thanks to P1LGRIM for that nudge which worked in Sierra and helped me get to Catalina boot media>
I was very chuffed once I got the Catalina desktop up & running, & worked out which of the two Eth ports was the working one, and confirmed at least I can browse! So big thanks for getting me this far...
However, booting requires me to inject Options into Clover of fake-id 0x12345678 & Id=0x00001912, then it will at least finish booting...but
Graphics = "Intel HD Graphics 530 7 MB"
I have googled this phrase & found a hundred answers, none of which quite works.
I started - as per the guide - with Multibeast 12.3 (which worked ace for Sierra I seem to remember)
I've tried Clover configurator, with dozens of suggested variables (many variations of which stops booting altogether!)
I've tried reading the Lilu and WhateverGreen notes, but I must be getting thick in my old age because I can't follow!
I have no idea even if Lilu or WhateverGreen are loaded (apparently a hackintool pre-requisite but it doesn't say whether they're there!)
I've tried hackintool and lots of variables there too.
None of these has my machine booting without user intervention and the proper graphics.
I've spent soooo much time on this, I'm in danger of forgetting what my family looks like.
Is there anyone with a good understanding could shove me in the right direction please?
Z170N-Wifi & HD530 graphics (ideally with a 4k screen, but one step at a time!)
There's 2 x HDMI ports (4k capable) and a DVI (1080 only).
Thanks in advance
;-)
(I did follow the buyer's guide in getting the Z170N-Wifi, but it would appear that HD530 is not flavour of the month anymore ;-) ).
