Hi guys
Built a stick for Sonoma following the usual guides which put Sonoma onto the stick, great.
Built an EFI following more than one guide out there. No error messages shown, great.
Disconnected all drives(ssd's) except for the one waiting for Sonoma, plugged the stick in and fired it up.
Stick loaded up to the picker and I selected install Sonoma. After formatting the ssd I clicked on install Sonoma.
It went to a black screen with the sonoma logo and the loading bar with 31 minutes remaining which after a couple of seconds dropped to 20 minutes. So far so good.
After it got to about 14 minutes it seemed to do nothing for about 5 minutes then it rebooted.
At the picker it had selected macOS installer fired up loading text happened. It carried on its merry way then somewhere about the 20 minute mark it rebooted and up came the apple logo with a loading bar. After a short while it rebooted and more text and then it rebooted. More text same again. The next time it did it the last word on the line before it rebooted was staged. After half a dozen times I realised it was a loop.
The board is a gigabyte ga h87 hd3 i5 CPU onboard graphics 8Mb ram onboard ethernet .
If someone has a clue I would appreciate it.
I have seen in the past, on you tube, this problem being shown but I cannot find that vid now.
Thanks in advance
