Hello all,
I'm back after a 2 week quarantine ready to do battle in order to install Mojave on my dell optiplex 980 pc.
At present, I created a usb installer based on the instructions on the is website. Here is my current issue:
The usb installer boots into the clover boot screen(5102). After I select the install from icon to the process, the process runs until it crashes and I get the prohibit scene(white circle with a slash through it. Running in verbose mode, the last line says ' still waiting on root device'. All of the usb ports on the pc as well as the usb flash drive(16.0gb) are usb 2.0.
In researching the error message, the information given points to the boot usb drive not being seen by the process. Further research suggests that I first add the following kexts to clover:
GenericUSBkext
USBInjectallkext
FakeSMCkext
These kexts are to be copied to the following folder:
Clover/Kexts/Other folder
If I need thse files, where is the best place to download them? Also if need be, what is the best program to copy them to the named folder on the usb flash drive if that's where they are supposed to be copied?
As I am starting from scratch again, am I starting off the right troubleshooting path? If there is any information posted above is incorrect, please feel free to advise any creations as needed.
I have researched many websites regarding hackintosh development and this one has always been the best in terms of researching and resolving
issues. So I am hopeful that a fresh look at this issue will result a successful install. If there is any missing info needed, please let me know and I will do my best to provide it in a timely manner.
Thanks in advance,
