Hi! first, thanks for providing this info. I appreciate your effort.
Second: I was curious if anyone had issues with kernel panic and reboot before ever getting to the install? I know that's vague, I'll provide some detail.
I started with an existing mojave thumb drive that I had installed a dell 7010 with, and I just replaced the EFI folder with the provided one, the I tried with newly made drive with the provided EFI, I attempted to change the model between a 14,2 iMac, a 17,1, and an 18,x (whichever one listed the i5). nothing I have tried so far as worked.
a few times I would get a "unsupported PCH" after a little research I tried changing the iMac model. I don't recall my specific change, but I got past that error. I haven't caught the panic that causes the reboot, but the last thing I see on the screen before is rapid scrolls to a stop is the attempt to call up several item that look like they're trying to access the internet, one has a path to a sntp service, etc.
I have a 7050 SFF with an i5 (presumably the 7500T, but I can't remember at the moment)
I don't have a GT730, but I have tried an old Radeon card. (I have set the inject ati and radeon flags, if various combination when trying using the Radeon video card. I'm really only using the HD630 graphics.
I have tried to install with a sata ssd and an NVMe Patriot Scorch Gen3x2 (i have removed the NVMe and tried disabling the port with no change)
I have tried using an SSD that have Mojave installed already and just changing the EFI with the provided one.
I can't be certain of the reason, but I have tried off and on for some time, I have an install app that was down loaded in the last month so my current version is at least 10.14.4 or higher. So far nothing I have tired has worked and I consistently get a kernel panic, I have been searching this site and others, but I either don't know what to search for, or I'm just not finding an answer that works for me.
thanks for any advice or help anyone can provide. I'm doing my best to research and learn, but I have been banging my head for months now.
I'm going to try to figure out how to out put a file so I can see what the panic is (pretty sure that's a thing), and for giggles unplug the network cable since the last message I can read is failed attempt to reach internet services.
