Hi there, I'm attempting my first install. Got the hardware working (I think). I went through the steps outlined for installing High Sierra on this site, and it gets to the Clover screen, then shows the Apple icon, then the progress bar, then it stalls - it shows a circle with a line through it. I've tried various fixes that I found online:
- boot in safe mode (add -x boot flag) and in verbose mode (-v)
- check InjectNvidia
- remove nv_disable=1 from the boot flags
- switch from the graphics card to the onboard video on the mobo
- remove one DIMM
- used a USB 2.0 port
- plus variations of the above
For the recommended BIOS settings (below - again, taken from this site), I did everything except #2, #7 and #9. I didn't do #7 because I couldn't find it. #9 didn't seem to apply. I didn't think I needed to do #2, but perhaps I do...
1. To access BIOS/UEFI Setup, press and hold Delete on a USB Keyboard while the system is booting up
2. Load Optimized Defaults
3. If your CPU supports VT-d, disable it
4. If your system has CFG-Lock, disable it
5. If your system has Secure Boot Mode, disable it
6. Set OS Type to Other OS
7. If your system has IO Serial Port, disable it
8. Set XHCI Handoff to Enabled
9. If you have a 6 series or x58 system with AWARD BIOS, disable USB 3.0
10. Save and exit.
Here's my config:
- Corsair 570x case
- ASUS ROG STRIX H370-F Gaming mobo
- i7-8700K
- Geforce GTX1070 SC GAMING
- Corsair H110i cooler
- Corsair RM650X PSU
- Ballistix Sport LT 32GB Kit (16GBx2)
- Samsung 960 EVO M.2
Any other recommendations? Change my USB boot setup when I'm doing that on my Mac? I'm so close....
I've attached 2 screenshots taken in verbose mode. It seems to stop on AppleUSBHostResources.... It sits on that for a minute, then the screen glitches and that circle with a line appears. Thanks very much!!
