Sorry it I wasn't clear, running Catalina, not Mojave. Will try both and report back

Understood. We’ll get it going.

Do you have extra boots arguments than what’s in my EFI?

Do you remember if you ever put any Kext in Library/Extensions? This was the old way of doing things and we need to remove those first. Can you send me a screen shot of that folder?

UPDATE: I updated post one with an OC 065 Big Sur Only EFI along with a Clover EFI for both Catalina and Opencore.

So please try the Clover EFI after adding your 19,1 serial. For whatever reason this OC is not doing well with Catalina.

Further research showed me that OC 060 worked on Mojave and Catalina. It could be a setting I'm missing or 065 is broke something. Most like user error on my part. Anyways the Clover build is great and almost comforting -- old faithful.

Thanks for all the research. I'll check it out tonight when I'm back in front of the computer. I was having so many issues that I went with a clean install of Catalina, restored my time machine back up (without signing in with my apple ID). I didn't bother creating a EFI with multi-beast, just placed your Clover EFI folder in the EFI partition.

Here's a stupid question - I reused my 18,3 serial number, will that cause issues?

Right so I wouldn't sign into iCloud because of the mismatch serial and SMBIOS. We just need to fix the USBMap because its registered to 19,1.

Go ahead switch to 18,3 but stay signed out. Make sure you enable the XHCI Port Limit in the Quirks tab of Clover Configurator.

Then download Hackintool, go to the USB tab, and hit the export button at the bottom. It will create a few files but you can delete all of them except for the USBMap.kext.

We need to compare it to the USBMap thats in our config. I don't mind doing it for you if you want to send it over here.

And no problem. Glad the Clover folder worked out. I completely at random made one over the weekend.

Are you using a thunderbolt card?

 

[NorthAmTransAm]

Bro I used your EFI to make an install but it appear not recognize usb installer mac_os (i have same hardware btw)

If you were trying to make a Catalina installer then you should use the Clover EFI for now. For whatever reason things get shaken with the OC 065 on Catalina unless on Mojave or Big Sur.

Cool, thanks!! 18,3 worked perfectly in the Mojave build, so good to know I can hopefully stick with it.

I don't have the thunderbolt card, I use Dante Virtual Soundcard, as the rest of my studio is built around Dante (works great btw!)

Good to know about Dante! It took a lot of time and work to get thunderbolt on this to a dependable and fully functional state. If you ever need it for a device the card is around 50 bucks.

I’m going to try an OC 064 EFI later tonight just so I can know.

Ok, so here's what I tried tonight:
- double checked BIOS settings, all good
- Switched SMBIOS to 18,3 and enabled XHCI Port Limit in Quirks
- I assume by disabling, you mean deleting from the EFI -> EFI ->CLOVER -> Kexts -> Other folder?
I removed whatevergreen and SATA-unsupported.kext (CatalinaAHCI kext is not present) independently and together

No luck, still the same kernal panic error message in the boot screen

Can't remember if I added Kexts to the Library Extension folder, that was a long time ago..... so screen shot attached along with the USBPorts.kext

Ok there's one problem!

Let's start with the Clover EFI, go back to the original EFI folder that's in post one. I have made changes to it so I'd re-download it.

I removed the CatalinaAHCI.kext and replaced it with SATAUnsupported. You need to move my USBMap.kext to your desktop for safe keeping. Rename my USBMap something like USBMap191. We'll need to look at this later. Enable XHCI Limit in quirks.

Ok in your Library Extensions folder I want you to delete the following:

AppleALC
Lilu
AHCI_Intel Generic_SATA
USBInjectAll
FakeSMC (all of the ones starting with this)
IntelMausi
Intel Graphics
FakeSMC
RealtekALC

Before restarting you should download Hackintool and go the Utilities tab. If you hover over the icons at the bottom, the last one should be Rebuild Kext Cache And Repair Permissions. We need to do that!

So all of that, then lets restart with the original Clover EFI minus the USBPorts plus XHCI enabled.

EDIT: Go ahead and change to 18,3 as well. Good luck.

I missed that you sent the USBPorts kext. Attached is the edited version of mine to work with 18,3.

Please disable XHCI Limit, remove my USBMap.kext and replace it with this one.
