pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

You can try disabling the IGPU to get through the installation process. The other picture you posted shows that macOS is having an issue with either the IGPU or GTX 1060. Is your monitor connected to your GTX 1060 via DisplayPort?
 

It should be working. I don't know why macOS was complaining about GPU. Alternatively, you can try installing macOS with just the UHD 630.

Also, are you using my EFI folder or did you use UniBeast/MultiBeast? If you used UniBeast/MultiBeast, IGPU needs to be disabled in BIOS. UniBeast/MultiBeast does not allow installation of NvidiaGraphicsFixup and IntelGraphicsFixup at the same time. It also doesn't do the ACPI DSDT renames so you will have to enter those manually. With these factors in mind, it should not be surprising that macOS complained about GPU.

Hi pastrychef, thanks so much for this resource. I was able to successfully use your build description to get an identical rig (save a few parts) up and running. I am having one issue that I can't determine if its a hardware issue or a kext issue.

I am using a SATA SSD as my boot drive along with 2 2TB 5400rpm drives for media storage. Several times now upon returning to my computer, I will be at the BIOS screen with no bootable hard drives. If I turn off the computer and restart, it boots up just fine and all HDDs are recognized. I've run first aid on all drives and no problems are reported. Is this an issue with the drives going to sleep and not waking up properly? Or could this be a PSU issue?

here is the report generated upon booting back into the Mac.

I am awaiting a new NVMe PCI drive to arrive this week.

Any help or insight you can provide will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
 
Hi pastrychef, thanks so much for this resource. I was able to successfully use your build description to get an identical rig (save a few parts) up and running. I am having one issue that I can't determine if its a hardware issue or a kext issue.

I am using a sata ssd as my boot drive along with 2 2TB 5400rpm drives for media storage. Several times now upon returning to my computer, I will be at the BIOS screen with no bootable hard drives. If I turn off the computer and restart, it boots up just fine and all hdds are recognized. I've run first aid on all drives and no problems are reported. Is this an issue with the drives going to sleep and not waking up properly? Or could this be a PSU issue?

here is the report generated upon booting back into the Mac.

I am awaiting a new nvme pci drive to arrive this week.

Any help or insight you can provide will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hmm... If BIOS doesn't see the drive, I would have to suspect hardware. It sounds like the drive is disappearing to the system...

The panic report is showing APFS so it's definitely drive related. You can try cloning the drive along with the EFI partition to another drive that is formatted to HFS+ to eliminate the possibility that the problem might be due to APFS.
 
Hi everybody !
First let me tell you I am really impressed by the availability and kindness of this community.
Long time reader and this is my second Hackintosh (first one was 5 years back).

I have some issue with my installation and don't have that much knowledge in "verbose log reading".
I have an i5-8600k with an Asus Strix Z370-F motherboard.
I followed the initial guide from OP and had my first problem quickly. My RAM configuration put the installation in a reboot loop (Sticks were in B2 and A2) . My CPU Cooler is so large that it is blocking the first slot B1 so I left only one stick in A2.
From then, it appeared to boot normally but then, the progress bar stopped in the middle and the loading wheel is frozen.
I booted in verbose mode but there is so much information that I got lost.

The first screenshot is the last thing that appears before it changes for screenshot 2. Then it gets stuck on screenshot 3 forever.

Note: My GPU (1080ti) is still connected to the motherboard and my screen is connected on it via DP.
I really don't know if it could be the cause or not as I read a couple of time that it could be a good idea to disconnect it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

EDIT : Wow nevermind... I thought that I would be able to do the installation without replacing the EFI folder as OP updated his guide and I understood from it that this step wasn't necessary anymore. But I just changed the EFI folder and boom : installation is going pretty well right now.

So installation worked fine?

Btw, after you apply the RAM fix to your config.plist, you should be able to install the RAM to B2 and A2.

@Stork whatever multi beast is doing, the system doesn't boot when I try to use it. Clearly, using @pastrychef EFI folder is a must in this case, unless he'd describe the steps and options he used with multibeast to get the same result as with using his EFI folder.

  1. If using discrete graphics card, disable IGPU in BIOS.
  2. Create USB installer using UniBeast.
  3. Install macOS.
  4. Launch MultiBeast.
  5. Select previously noted choices in MultiBeast.
  6. Launch MultiBeast.
  7. Select only IntelGraphicsFixup.
  8. Install SSDT-USB.aml.
  9. Copy the ACPI DSDT renames from my config.plist and put it in to your config.plist.
  10. Enable FixShutdown.
  11. Enable PluginType.
  12. Add Custom Flags. Remember to use uia_exclude to disable ports to bring your USB count to 15 or less.
  13. Set IntelGFX to 0x59128086
  14. Inject Intel.
  15. Change ig-platform-id to 0x59120003. (Do this only if you also have a discrete graphics card.)
  16. Add Disable NVDARequirement KextsToPatch.
  17. Set up Board Serial Number, Serial Number, UUID.
  18. Apply RAM fix.
  19. Enable Trust.
  20. Add AsAmiShim.efi.
  21. Reboot in to BIOS.
  22. Enable IGPU and select discrete graphics card as primary.
*Note: MultiBeast installs kexts to /Library/Extensions/. I use /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ for convenience. /Library/Extensions/ is the recommended location, but /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ has worked fine for me.

**Note: MultiBeast uses different kext for audio. Audio drivers may or may not need to be installed twice using MultiBeast. Some macOS updates may also require re-installation of audio drivers.

***Note: MultiBeast does not install Shiki.kext, SATA-200-series-unsupported.kext, and XHCI-300-series-injector.kext. If you want to install these, use KextBeast to install in /Library/Extensions/. My EFI has these kexts in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ but Shiki.kext must be in the same folder as Lilu.kext. Therefore, if you use MultiBeast, install these in to /Library/Extensions/.
