Decided to take a crack at a laptop hack! Did my research, bought a second hand Asus UX305FA ultrabook off ebay.
Have read all the guides such as gfoury's (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-asus-zenbook-ux305fa-for-el-capitan.185917/), jhawks (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-asus-zenbook-ux305fa-using-clover-uefi.166818/) and also pentium0's (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...05fa-on-high-sierra-using-clover-uefi.247668/) - all for pre-mojave, though comments on the threads lead me to believe it should not be a problem.
So I believe I have "installed" successfully - however it won't boot to the UI. What I've done:
Create Usb using RehabMan's guide, using his fork of everything basically. Boot fine from USB, run Disk Utility, format the new SSD I've installed in the laptop (I've also put a DW1560 wifi m2 in).
After formatted, I've chosen to install Mojave - it trundles along, reboots and boots to the next target - after a while it reboots again - to the "Boot macOS from Hacky". It boots - very slowly - eventually bringing me to dark grey screen with a mouse pointer on the top left of the screen. I can move it with my USB mouse plugged in.
This is a UX305FA laptop, Broadwell Core m3 5Y10 CPU with Intel 5300 gfx. 8Gb LPDDR RAM, a Crucial MX500 M2 SATA SSD, M2 DW1560 Wifi Card.
Attached is my CLOVER.zip sans themes. I've attached screenshot of the latest verbose debug output from booting prior to the grey screen of woe - it is possible more was printed to the screen before it loads - the whole boot takes yonks, so I'm inevitably not right in front of it when it transitions to the grey screen. For good measure, I've provided an exciting shot of the grey screen of woe also.
Appreciate if anyone could give me a pointer - I'm a bit bamboozled since everything was meant to be so straight forward with this laptop. I anticipate RehabMan will take 20 seconds to observe something daft I've done.... :-/
