- "Mojave-Unsupported" EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB SSC won't help at all.
- Its removal from PCIE slot and Not just "Disabling it in BIOS",is the best option to facilitate easier USB Installer boot and Hard disk Installation.
- Not a very useful information for troubleshoot through a Forum; may be good enough if directly chatting with another person with the very same MoBo.
- Uploaded BIOS screen shots or actual BIOS options used (both Enabled and Disabled Choices) as a list to the post is the way to post for help.
- "GUIDE" recommendation is for the User of that Particular series of Board to use as a "check list" while going through all the BIOS Menu.
- It has no use for those who can help but don't use that "GUIDE".
Where? Any image to clarify what is meant?
Anytime there is a Boot failure the problem can be in any or all of the following:
- How that USB Installer Disk was created [quality(checksum value) of macOS Installer file used]
- The CLOVER contents in the EFI Partition of that Disk
- The BIOS Options chosen to boot the disk.
Therefore the information to be provided are:
- Assure the readers that a full "Install Macos Mojave file" from App Store is used with an accepted installation method.
- Upload at the CLOVER from the USB Installer as a zipped file.
- Provide at the list of BIOS options used or BIOS screen shots to show the choices.
- Upload Verbose Boot Screen image if Boot Failure has occurred after the USB Installer is booted off the Clover Boot Manager Screen or any screen shot to orient readers about the currently found problem on screen.
Thanks for the reply. At work currently but I will try to answer as best I can and then follow up with items that I need to later when at the machine.
Step 1: UniBeast USB was created using Mojave downloaded from App Store from my current Mojave iMac. Used UniBeast software. UEFI settings, no injections. This step completed successfully using UniBeast 9.0.0
Step 2: Downloaded MultiBeast 11.0.1 and dragged unzipped folder onto USB drive.
Step 3: BIOS settings set:
- ACHI mode ON.
- Loaded Default Settings.
- VT-d is Disabled.
- CFG Lock is Disabled.
- Secure Boot Mode was locked at Enabled unless I deleted the Secure Boot Keys. Did that and Secure Boot Mode changed to Disabled.
- OS Type is Other OS
- IO Serial Port I could not find in the BIOS.
- XHCI Handoff is Enabled
- USB 3.0 I couldn't find anything to disable USB 3.0 specifically but I turned legacy mode on and off.
Step 4: Inserted UniBeast drive into USB slots. BIOS recognizes that there are two storage devices. The SATA and the SanDisk. Neither are recognized as a bootable device.
This is where I can't figure out where to go from. Would having the GPU plugged in stop the BIOS from even recognizing the boot device? I actually made a Windows 10 installer and that successfully installed last night from same USB stick.
I will follow up with the upload requests later today.
Let me know if any of this info helps.
Thanks again!
