<< Solved >> z370 gigabyte gaming 7... was a success, is no longer...

Here is my current build:
mobo: z370 gigabyte gaming 7
processor: 8086k @ stock
Ram: corsair vengence 32 gb
storage: samsung 860 sata m.2
graphics: powercooling vega 64

installer: unibeat 9.1.0
post: multibeast 11.0.1

BIOS Settings
These the are the BIOS settings you will need to change after creating the macOS installer and before first boot:

1. Save & Exit → Load Optimized Defaults
2. M.I.T. → Advanced Memory Settings Extreme Memory Profile(X.M.P.) : Profile1
3. BIOS → Fast Boot : Disabled
4. BIOS → LAN PXE Boot Option ROM : Disabled
5. BIOS → Storage Boot Option Control : UEFI
6. Peripherals → Trusted Computing → Security Device Support : Disable
7. Peripherals → Network Stack Configuration → Network Stack : Disabled
8. Peripherals → USB Configuration → Legacy USB Support : Auto
9. Peripherals → USB Configuration → XHCI Hand-off : Enabled
10. Chipset → Vt-d : Disabled
11. Chipset → Wake on LAN Enable : Disabled
12. Chipset → IOAPIC 24-119 Entries : Enabled

Dedicated graphics card:

1. Peripherals → Initial Display Output : PCIe 1 Slot
2. Chipset → Integrated Graphics : Disabled

ok, so using bios F6 (bios it shipped with) I was able to set the following bios options and all worked fine, I was able to install, boot and run mojave 10.14.2

then I installed windows, windows worked fine.

I also updated the bios to the latest version, F12c. Mojave would not boot, it would stay on the apple logo screen and go very very slow.

I figured I would try a complete re-install, removed the windows drive, tried to boot to the installer, same result. very slow, even after a couple hours, still stuck on the apple logo screen, no errors or kernal panics.

I think it is related to the bios, but I am not sure what to try.

has anyone seen this?

Yes, downgrade your Bios to F11 and you will be ok.

sure enough, reverting back to bios F11 worked. I can now boot into my hack.

thanks!

word to the wise, at this point and time bios f12c is a definite no go!

Very interesting...I just tried F11c on my Z370N WiFi MB and it it failed at APFS. Probably takes a re-install to use this newer BIOS.
