Hi Folks,
I've been busy trying to install OS X on my new build pretty much the whole of today:
Intel Core i5-9600K
ASUS Z370-P II
2x SAMSUNG EVO PLUS NVMe drives (was intended for a Windows+OS X dual boot config).
ASUS RADEON RX580 8GB OC
a Broadcom DW1820A in a PCI-E adapter
The very last guide I used was the one here on this site:
I can get past the installation settings screen (formatting one of the NVMe drives as the OS X boot drive in Disk Utilities). It hangs afterwards, sometimes it gets to displaying "15 Minutes Remaining", sometimes it just hangs without an indication of the ETA. Also, setting it to verbose takes no effect at this stage in the installation, so I might not be able to supply more information. I know that it is a kernel panic, because rebooting it displays something along the lines of "automatically rebooted after kernel panic" (and also because if I don't add the flag debug=0x100, it reboots).
I tried creating the install drive using UniBeast, Clover Boot Image creator + Clover Configurator, as well as by manually assembling the selection of kexts, patches, etcetera (also using Clover Configurator). It always ends with me looking at the kernel panic at this exact stage in the installation process. I am attaching my EFI folder as I suspect that this is the first thing you would ask for. This EFI folder is the one that was generated by UniBeast, so there's not going to be any surprises in it - I haven't touched this one with Clover Configurator, but would like to use it as the basis for future troubleshooting as this is the first "vanilla" EFI folder that I didn't need to tweak to actually get me all the way to the kernel panic bit, so it must be good.
The things I suspect may be potential culprits:
1. There isn't an XHCI Hand-Off setting in my BIOS. See this post:
2. There also doesn't appear to be a CFG-Lock setting.
3. Something fishy with the .kext or .efi files? Would be very odd, as I've tried assembling them manually and my config is actually supposed to be very OS X friendly - that's why I've chosen these components in the first place (my first Hackintosh build btw.)
I am running the installation through an HDMI cable connected to the graphics card. Have also tried a DVI cable, same results. Tried unhooking everything from the motherboard except for the graphics card, and the one relevant NVMe drive - again, same results.
I am on the verge of giving up at this point but I thought I'd ask first, I have already invested a day and bought compatible hardware after all.
Thanks for any help in advance, and let me know if you require any extra info!
Best,
Kris

ASUS BIOS 0806 - xHCI Handoff Option Missing.
Hi there, Guys. Kia Ora from New Zealand. Working on my first build but am yet to reach the install screen. I'm using an ASUS H270M-PLUS mATX board, which I've upgraded the BIOS to the latest version, which is 0806. However, the xHCI Handoff option is now missing from the Advanced --> USB...
