Hi guys,

I have been using this computer for a year and half now and never had this issue before. I also didn’t install anything new. I work in audio so the only things I’ve been downloading is audio files and some video.
I am using Mojave and cannot for the life of me get into my drives. I actually have three drives on the computer and one of them also has hush Sierra installed but I never use it. I tried booting into both drives but it gets struck at the Apple logo. I reset the cmos and also removed all peripherals and USB connections and reset the bios, went back and changed the bios to normal settings but I am still stuck at the Apple logo. Someone please help.

Boot in verbose mode to capture information that may be useful for problem diagnosis.

Hello and thank you for your time. I tried booting in verbose mode, (command + v) it it just stayed stuck in the Apple logo and progress bar a bit more than halfway. Nothing happened. Am I doing something wrong what else can I try ?
 
Verbose mode is -v.

thank you so much. I tried the -v as well but it did not work. I will give more information to see if this helps: I originally installed Sierra 12.6 into my hackintosh since I had a normal HDD. i got another drive (ssd) and installed Mojave 14.5 and have not updated since. The install was a success and I’ve since been able to boot to either Sierra or Mojave at choice on startup. I always go to Mojave and just run my audio projects from the Sierra 12.6 drive as well as two other drives (for space ) now last night I noted in the BIOS that the clock is all wrong it’s like. It was like 1am and it kept saying it was another date in 2018. I reset the bios, loaded the defaults and used the Mojave installation guide on the site to further adjust any settings in the Bios. I removed the Video card and this also did not work. I only have this video card and a WiFi card on the pci slots. After resetting the bios however I tried booting into the Sierra drive and actually got this message attached. It appeared then restarted quickly so I didn’t get great photos.

Your images prove otherwise.

Seems to be related to APFS.
Make sure that you have installed either apfs.efi or ApfsDriverLoader.efi.

How can I check this in clover ? I’ve checked all the menus in options and can’t seem to find it. Sorry this is the first time I’ve had something go wrong like this.
 
They are drivers so they will be in the drivers section of Clover, this can vary depending on the Clover version that is installed.

Ok so I figured I was actually doing it wrong with the verbose mode. Now I actually used verbose mode correctly and attached are the videos of what came up. Mojave ssd. This is the Sierra HDD. Are there any takeaways from this that can help diagnose the issue?
