[SUCCESS] Ongoing Status of Designare Z390 with i7-9700K

[Pinballnut]

Hello,

I just got this board. I am starting my first Hackintosh build. I was going to pick up the samsung 970 evo. I thought that was safe until these last couple posts. Couple questions. Is the 970 still a viable option? Can I make a dual boot system where the 1tb is partitioned as two 500gs?

What are good ssd suggestions for brands and speed?

The 970 EVO is still a good choice, but not the 970 EVO Plus. I believe you should avoid making a dual boot system (Mac and Windows) on a single partitioned drive. You may search the forum for this, but as I recall, we need to use separate physical disks.

Hello CaseySJ

I'm attempting to build a hackintosh on the Designare Z390. Thanks for putting in the time for this writeup - I'm sure it will prove to be invaluable.
I'd like to use Docker however apparently it requires VT-x and VT-d to be enabled. Do you encounter problems with these on in the bios?

Thanks

I’m running Parallels Desktop 10 with no issues. VT-d is of course disabled. The Designare BIOS does not seem to have a separate control for VT-x.

Are you sure that Docker requires VT-d?

From what I've read you need to have both enabled.

Docker on Hackintosh

Most processors fail to run with Mac OS's native hypervisor framework so the native client doesn't work. You probably will have to use the legacy Docker Toolbox solution. https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_mac/ The documentation on the net is a bit poor so you might not notice...

Does one need VT enabled hardware for operating a docker host?

Answer (1 of 6): Thanks for A2A Yes and No. No. If you have a 64 bit linux host and would like to run docker daemon directly on the OS, without any virtualization, you do not need VT-X. Yes. However, if you have a Windows/OSX host, you must have some virtualization technology, on top of which ...

Did you have issues in the setup with VT-d enabled?

Thanks again

@mojava88, please update your profile (account details) with your Motherboard, CPU and iGPU or Graphics Card(s).
If you have a prebuilt computer enter make and model instead of motherboard.

Profiles are mandatory so that others can assist you.

Hello BreBo.
I had an old windows computer built in 2008 (not hackintosh) that has since been disassembled.
This will be my first Hackintosh build and I haven't yet settled on all of the parts.
I may swap the motherboard if the VT-d enabled option isn't a possibility.

Did you have issues in the setup with VT-d enabled?

I've never tried booting the system with VT-d enabled. But here's what I can do later this evening:

• Download and run a trial version of Docker Desktop with VT-d disabled.
• If it fails, I'll enable VT-d -- and hope the sky does not fall -- and see what happens.

Thanks CaseySJ - that's really kind of you and would potentially save me a headache. Appreciate you taking the time. I'll owe you one.

Looks like I have some good news! This is with VT-d disabled.
