macOS Catalina 10.15.2 is out. Safe for Hackintosh?

[jamalumar]

I have installed 10.15.2 with a skylake and Sapphire RX 590 Nitro+. Vanilla install but the Dids Clover install is not working, so I have to boot with USB each time. Otherwise everything else is working including Fenvi wifi+bluetooth.

Update: If you get failed installation of clover on your fresh install of catalina 10.15.2, just use terminal to reformat the damaged EFI.
Use this command to locate damaged EFI: diskutil list
Use this command to reformat as HFS: sudo newfs_msdos -v EFI -F 32 /dev/rdisk1s1
Remember to replace rdisk1s1 with the names of your drive. Then install clover again - voila!

Working Catalina on my side!

GPU performance dropped! Solution for M2 SATA SSD: agdpmod=ignore
On 10.15.2 RX5700 not works at full speed when SSD M2 NVME installed. On 10.15.1 all works fine. If I replace SSD to M2 SATA performance back after booting AGDPMOD=IGNORE. With PIKERA performance dropped too.

Before – 1 pic
After - 2 pic
NVME M2 SSD - 3 pic

Problem starts on Beta 4.

@mig67,

Just download latest release of each kext from the developers GitHub Repo :-

Acidanthera

Acidanthera has 47 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

Then install over existing ones using Hackintool or whatever kext installer you normally use.
If your new to Lilu and it's plug-in's then have a look at this guide :-

Any know issues with APFS? last time I checked (with Mojave) suggestion was to clone the installation on an HFS+ disk.
Problems was file system corruptions due to missing ECC in firmware on original Mac when on APFS.
What now? it is safe to use Catalina hackintosh with APFS with SSD/NVME ?
thanks.
