Greetings!
Created a bootable flash drive using this manual - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ierra-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.235474/

+ in addition, I added SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext, SATA-200-series-unsupported.kext and AHCIPortInjector.kext


In the bios, disks are defined, but Disk Utility in the installer sees only the flash drive.
Clover also detects one of the disks and even loads from it (it has an old half-dead mac on it)

Hard Drives:
  • Western Digital WD1601ABYS
  • Seagate Barracuda 250 GB ST3250310AS

MB - P8H61-M LE R2.0

CPU - Intel Pentium CPU G620 @ 2.60Ghz

BIOS
  • Name - BIOS ASUS UEFI BIOS Utility 2.10.1208
  • Version - 1102 x64,
  • ME Version - 8.1.2.1318,
  • Secure Boot - Disabled,
  • OS Type - Other Os,
  • S.M.A.R.T. Status check - Disabled,
  • SATA mode - AHCI.
  • CSM - enabled (Recommended to turn off, but so the computer does not start)
  • Boot Device Control - UEFI и Legacy OpROM
  • Boot from storage devices - Both, Legacy OpRom first
  • Fast Boot - Disabled

Please tell me what could be the problem?

PS: I apologize if my English is bad:crazy: If something is not clear, I will try to express myself more clearly

Did you do this ?

By the way, you are using a Pentium CPU? Do you have a supported graphics card in the system? If you are trying to use a Pentium CPU with its integrated graphics, it won't work since Pentium CPUs and its integrated graphics are not supported on MacOS.
 
also i have Asus AMD Radeon HD 5450

df -h output. A bunch of some small disks.
