Any ideas why my Catalina install only sees one display?
If you remember to press F12 at the BIOS splash screen during each of these events, then there's no need to remove the NVMe:
If you physically remove the original NVMe, it simplifies the above steps.
- Clone Mojave onto the other SSD.
- Reboot and press F12 at BIOS splash screen to select the clone SSD.
- At the Clover Boot Menu, select the new option: Boot macOS from <name of clone disk>
- Login to Mojave on the clone.
- Start the Catalina upgrade.
- When the upgrade installer requests a reboot, reboot the system.
- Press F12 again during the BIOS splash screen.
- Select the clone SSD.
- At the Clover Boot Menu, select the new option: Boot macOS Install from <name of clone disk>
- If there are any more boot requests during installation:
- Always press F12 at the BIOS splash screen and select the clone SSD.
- At the Clover Boot Menu:
- Whenever you see an option Boot macOS Install from <name of clone disk>, you must select that option.
- If you don't see this option, then select Boot macOS from <name of clone disk>
I couldn't find an AptioMemoryFix.efi file quickly, so I went with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi (from Post-Install Files in post #1). Quick Look now works. VideoProc still says no hardware acceleration. Not even sure if I should have hardware acceleration with this build so I'm going to memoryhole that issue and pretend everything is fine. Thanks, again, Casey!
I am having the same issue as well. Maybe it's MacOS bug. It's killing me and my OSD.
Which connection does it see and which one not? Maybe it is similar to my problem.Any ideas why my Catalina install only sees one display?
Please check that your drivers64UEFI folder does not contain OsxAptioFix3Drv.efi. Only 1 memory driver is permitted at a time. Use OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi despite the warnings. Once the system is up and running you can experiment with AptioMemoryFix.efi, which can be installed from Clover Configurator —> Install Drivers.
- Followed the "click here" link from the build guide and used Hackintool v.2.8.0 to create patch for Platform ID 0x3E980003. Clicked on "Patch" button at bottom, then on "Advanced" button in Patch Options pane. Made sure every checkbox was empty. Clicked on "General" button in Patch Options pane. Made sure only "DeviceProperties" radio button was enabled and "Graphic Device" was the only box checked. Clicked "Generate Patch" button. Then File->Export->Bootloader config.plist. Selected the /EFI/Clover folder and let it 'replace' the existing config.plist (backup file and new file sizes match...10kb).
- Lilu and WhateverGreen kexts are in /Library/Extensions from the initial build. Have not updated them.
- In Clover Configurator -> Devices -> Fake ID -->IntelGFX was already 0x0
- In Clover Configurator -> Graphics everything was already blank
Rebooted and got the "unable to allocate" error message again. Shutdown, turned power supply switch off, pulled power cord out. Waited ten seconds (just a couple seconds longer than it takes for the mobo to 'flash' when it discharges whatever power remains in the caps). Plugged cord back in, power supply switch to on and powered up. Same "unable to allocate" error message again. Rebooted, went in to BIOS and set Chipset -> Internal Graphics to "Disable" and was able to boot back in to Mojave.
Quick Look not working again, now, and VideoProc still says no HW acceleration. I opened up Hackintool again, and it came up with Platform ID 0x3E980003 (Generation is still Coffee Lake, as it was before I changed the Platform ID).
I routinely install SATA SSDs in external USB 3.0 enclosures, so the Samsung T5 should be fine.Should I mention that the clone ssd is an external Samsung T5 which is USB 3.1
