Well... Yeah looks like it...
I did not create the folder EFI inside the EFI partition
...
problem was I was labeling the EFI partition as EFI so my system was mounting it as EFI on linux...
anyways after almost a day debugging I am finally booting the MacOS Install..
Update: after I start the install the progress bar goes to about 20% and the system keeps resetting itself...
Any hints, I am using the EFI from the former post
#873, updated the MAC on the Config.plist file. I also installed it on a new USB stick, and still have the same problem...
I am using '001-86606 - 11.1 macOS Big Sur' and the bios settings from
#777
I have tried this on '001-68446 - 10.15.7 macOS Catalina' as well but same thing, however the installer goes to like 45% or so before resetting itself...
My take is there is something fishy in the BIOS settings...
WOuld appreciate if someone with a successful X370N-WIFI+BigSur can reconfirm, what settings they are using after doing "load optimized defaults"
