Hello,
I hope you don't mind me posting here, but i've been trying to fix an issue for a week or so and I just can't find a solution.

I had my system working fine with Sierra for a few years and wanted to update to Mojave using this guide below (but i've got a problem)
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-hp-z800-workstation-on-mac-os-mojave-10-14-6.305127/

My system is a HP Z800 (28GB Ram)
GTX670 GPU
And i'm trying to install Mojave 10.14.6

It's been a while since i've setup my hackintosh originally, so maybe i'm overlooking something simple.
Here is a screenshot of the install error (verbose mode). Hope the picture quality is ok.
Once again any help at all would be really appreciated.

First clear NVRAM.
Second boot with -f UseKernelCache=No.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.
I will try what you said.

Thank you again

Still no luck.
I just tried clearing NVRAM (pressed F11 on clover menu)
and also add the boot argument to clover config.plist (-f UseKernelCache=No)

See below for a screenshot of the error.
Again any help would be really appreciated.

Computers don't run on luck.

zip and attach your /EFI folder.
Thank you, yes my EFI folder is attached.

Just to mention that last year, I managed to install Mojave successfully using this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-hp-z800-workstation-on-mac-os-mojave-10-14-6.305127/
and by generating a new serial number for my machine. I remember i had a few issues which i solved somehow after going through forums.

But I reverted back to Sierra after a couple of days (which I regret). The EFI file attached is the working backup copy of the EFI which i used last year to install Mojave successfully.

I'd appreciate any help at all. It's been a while since i built my hackintosh, and over a year since i managed the mojave install.

Thanks again, please let me know if you need any other info.

Install log says AMD Radeon RX 480 but your profile says EVGA GTX 670, which is correct ?

Yes mine is a EVGA GTX 670.
How would I change that, in clover settings yes?
Any help regarding this would be much appreciated.
 
By not blindly using someone else's /EFI folder.
Apologies, i had successfully installed Mojave previously based on this EFI (but with lots of changes, such as allowing Web Driver etc). I thought this EFI would work fine.

I'll keep trying and will update later, i had no idea my GPU setting was incorrect. Apologies again about that.
Thanks so much for helping me identify the issue.
