Still looks like misconfigured graphics.
Have you installed latest Lilu and WhateverGreen kexts ?

I went ahead and gave everything a quick update.

I am still, however, stuck here:

I will tamper around the BIOS to see if the onboard VGA is off; here are my current clover GPU settings:

Here is my GPU:

ASRock Phantom Gaming D Radeon RX580 4G OC

<b>Core Clock/Memory</b>, OC Mode: Up to 1424 MHz / 8032 MHz, Default Mode: Up to 1370 MHz / 8000 MHz, Silent Mode: Up to 1315 MHz / 7968 MHz, 4 GB GDDR5<br /><b>Features</b>, Double Ball Bearings Fan Design, High Performance Composite Heatpipes, Support 8K Resolution, Graphic Outputs: 3...

I'm not sure what could be causing that issue, I do think that this GPU is native to Mac OS though, there may be something I am missing.

Again, I cannot reiterate it enough; thanks so much for the help so far!

You should not need to InjectATI graphics.

I just disabled this and tried again. I also disabled QEMU under the CPU section, I am now getting to gIOScreenLockState, however, after this message the screen goes black and does not display an apple logo or anything to indicate that it is indeed booting into my installer.

I've enabled and disabled both InjectATI and DeInitRadeon to no avail.

Wondering what else I should try, thanks so much again for the help, we are about to crack this hack.

Okay, the port that it is connected through currently is HDMI, I forgot to include that in my last message. my b

Tried this morning with display port - no success.

Did you try all of them ?

Did you try all of them ?

Tried all of them, here are the results:
* Dual-Link DVI-D | result = pink screen
* HDMI | result = black screen
* Display Port 1 | result = black screen
* Display Port 2 | result = success!


How can we get HDMI to be functional as a display output?

and I am so happy that FINALLY, we got it to boot to Mac OS.
