**Mini-Guide for Fresh Installation of Catalina 10.15.4 and Newer **
Hi
@CaseySJ ,
Please excuse me. I am new to this world and doing my first Hackintosh install, using a similar spec as mentioned here:
Gigabyte Designare BIOS F9B with a 9900K processor,
32GB DDR4 RAM.
2TB NVMe drive
500MB Sata SSD
Fenvi T919
Asus 10Gbe card
I followed the instructions, but a couple of things occurred which has stopped me from getting this to work, I had the BIOS setup for a OpenCore Vanilla, are there any other adjustments I should make, as I could not find the BIOS setup section here?
I also noticed a point here (after I attempted my install) that said you need to use a monitor vs a TV, is this really critical, as I am using a 4K TV for the short term?
When I did the install it went through the first install cycle, came up so I could use disk utility to format my drive NVMe with a GUID partition and then install macOS.
It started the install and on the first reboot and the Clover menu came on, and before I can choose the correct option it continued on its own, I waited for the Apple logo and a new time to install, which came up and left it alone, thinking it was OK.
When I returned a little later, the screen was mainly white with the edges flashing, I let it carry on, until it turned itself off.
I restarted it manually and it loaded and took me the MacOS setup process, wifi worked, but bluetooth did not (hav the Fenvi board installed), it could not find the thunderbolt even in the PCI menu, it did recognized the 10gbe card. All nearly good. Then I did the last step, and copied the EFI from the USB to the SSD, and restarted, it would not boot into the SSD. The boot menu shows a blank line for each drive I have (I have the m.2 and a sata), but neither is shown by name, just a space, and it does nothing if I select it.
Can anyone tell me where I went wrong? Do I need a monitor? Is the default clover menu option wrong? Any other ideas before I try it again? How do I make the SSD bootable?
Thanks you all advance.
