<< Solved >> Mojave Update 2020-004 results in Unsupported CPU

[nicciniamh]

Hi,
I cannot seem to update my hackintosh! Ugh!

During the boot process of the installer I get "Unsupported CPU" and "Unsupported PCH". I added "-no_compat_check" to my boot arguments.

I can still boot off "Macintosh HD". Attached are debug files (generated by install_tools) and clover.zip (my clover installation)

I appreciate any help - and I appreciate the fact that so much has gone into making macOS work on my computer in the first place!!

Thanks!

Serial ports should be disabled in the BIOS settings.

I disabled those ports. Still the same result.

New debug attatched.

More detail - after booting the installer again, I let it sit at the same place as my original screen shot. After 4 minutes I finally got a GUI which simply gave this screen.

Hi there.

I'm not 100% sure I have a handle on this but I notice that your Clover folder is quite mixed-up.

For example you apparently have Clover version r5118 installed. This uses the newer tree of CLOVER folders but you are using the older, pre-5000 version layout:

You should only need one drivers folder. The necessary *.efi drivers should be in drivers/UEFI. Clover is actually fairly forgiving, but since you are having problems, it's worth sorting.

Test this EFi, you can add more fixes if it gets you through the update.

I tried your EFI and that helped me get the update run all the way through but my system was unbootable after that stalling on a graphics kext. Not sure how to proceed.

My clover was a mess. I cleaned it up. Got rid of unnecessary junk and got the update to fly (from an apple KB article I decided to download and run the install from a pkg)

After all was said and done the system did, indeed, update properly and I am back up and running! Yay!
Thanks for everyone's help, especially gigamaxx's EFI zip that helped me get it all together properly.
