macOS 10.15.2 Update

Success, smooth upgrade after updating WEG, Lilu, AppleALC first. 2 reboots and it was up and working fine.

Dell Optiplex 9020 MT

You don't need any kexts. It will work OOB if you are using 10.15.1 or newer.

How do you like this graphics card. is it worth the expense? Better than an RX 580?

I found one side effect of upgrading -- HiDPI resolutions disappeared, and my monitor no longer says Retina Display, now it's just a LG 4K display.

Does anyone know how to get the Retina display back with HiDPI ? Using HD4600 iGPU tried setting to iMac15,1 no luck. Also not working with iMac14,2

UPDATE:
Fixed using this utility: https://comsysto.github.io/Display-...or-with-HiDPI-Support-For-Scaled-Resolutions/

Use Compressor 4.4.4 if you have it backed up. Latest version does not use the encoders properly. Same for FCPX.

is your machine multiboot with Windows and other OS’?

Yes I have Win10 pro on a separate ssd.

I was running 10.15.1, and then updated to Clover 5100, Lilu 1.4.0, WEG 1.3.5, and AppleALC 1.4.4. Rebooted, and all was fine under 10.15.1. Then I ran the 10.15.2 updater which resulted in a solid panic/reboot loop, with my main monitor dead (which is connected to my RX580).

The cause? I saw the panic report details ("send to Apple...") which listed on the first line a complaint about the Shiki argument. I had the boot argument shikigva=16. Changed it to shikigva=80 and installed the update with no issues.

USE THIS DUMMY KEXT AND YOU GET HEVC BACK

Mine is identical to your results with NA too. Does HEVC acceleration really work?

I find it amazing some members having to manually choose the Install partition, I say amazing because in all the updates/upgrades (not feeling smug or particularly clever ) I've done mine always defaults to the Install From Partition between the reboots. Still it's good to hear everyone so far had little or no probs with the installation - Happy Days

It depends how your boot items are arranged in your clover boot menu. I prefer macOS to take up the leftmost position by default, to the right of that will then be "other boot options" that I cared to have configured. A macOS upgrade boot option, in this kind of scenario, will always appear in the rightmost menu position., hence the requirement to "move" to that install boot option as without doing so an upgrade will just not take place.
I prefer it this way as all my upgrades are attended upgrades by choice.
