Hi,
I have a GA-Z97m-d3h with a i5-4690k processor. I've used it as a hackintosh for a long time (until El Capitan, iirc), then decided to run Linux on it for a while and now I'm trying to get macOS on it again, but without success.
I tried following the Mojave guide, had some issues because the installer wasn't downloading all the files, found a solution here on the forums (basically doing as I were to install it on the system I was creating the installation media so that it would download the remaining files, then gathering it all and "artificially" creating the ISO) and it seemed to work, then it rebooted. I wasn't looking the moment it did the reboot, so I'm not sure if it was the regular reboot it does before you start configuring macOS, but I was left with the feeling that the first part of the installation was a bit quick.
Well, now it won't boot. I tried the whole process again and I can't even boot into the USB media. I get the "Insert proper boot media" message after the motherboard splash screen. I can get into SETUP, but it seems it doesn't matter what I do there, nothing gets me to boot.
I tried downloading High Sierra and following its installation guide with UniBeast 8.3.2 and MultiBeast 10.4.0, but had no luck either. Same results.
