I added an NVMe SSD with a PCIe x4 adapter in my hackintosh and successfully cloned the system on it, however, the NVMe card in the adapter works fine only in the primary PCIe x16 slot, the first writing byte made through the x4 slot instantly freezes the system and not letting the system boot from the x16 slot.
The video card is now in the x4 slot but I would be glad to use it in the x16 slot because it's pretty laggy in x4.
The bootloader is OpenCore, which boots from another disk, since the latest official BIOS version of my Z77-DS3h doesn't seem to be able to recognize NVMe, but it works with it in that way with no issues. In what direction should I dig?
I'm not sure the problem is in the BIOS. Should I try using another PCI-e adapter?
Thanks!
