Hi ! I have a problem with my Hackintosh. I built this hack a few years ago, on a Dell XPS 730x with it's stock motherboard, and it's stock CPU. Here was it's full specs : Motherboard : Dell OEM Board with Intel X58 Chipset, with a AMI Legacy BIOS (XPS 730x 1.0.6) Processor : Intel Core i7-920 codename bloomfield (Nehalem architecture), factory clocked at 2.67 GHz (3.1 with turbo, this thing wasn't overclocked) RAM : 12 GB (3x4) of generic RAM (motherboard's max) at 1600 MHz GPU : Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ with 8 GB of VRAM Operating systems : Windows 10 20H1, macOS Sierra 10.12.6 It was working fine, but because this build was pretty old, I decided to upgrade it. Especielly because I tried to install Mojave on this thing, but failed, apparently because of the Legacy BIOS. So, I changed the motherboard, the processor and the RAM of the PC, with the following : Motherboard : Gigabyte Z490-UD rev 1.0, with an AMI UEFI BIOS (Z490-UD F20) Processor : Intel Core i5-10600 (Comet Lake architecture), factory clocked at 3.30 GHz (4,80 with turbo, can't be overclocked) RAM : 16 GB (2x8) HyperX Fury at 2666 MHz GPU : Same RX 480 as before This upgrade was complicated, because I was transitioning from a Legacy BIOS to a UEFI one. It needed to convert the Windows MBR disk to GPT and rebuild it's bootloader, reinstalling the system with the new drivers... And for macOS, I reinstalled Clover in UEFI mode, and changed it's configuration : I put an iMac20,2 SMBIOS, because it had the same processor, installed some new kexts, removed old ones, added the -no_compat_check boot argument to still boot on Sierra, and tried to boot. It didn't work. Clover was loading fine, but when launching the system, it was displaying a line of plus signs. It did that before with the previous motherboard, but displays verbose boot log right after. Not that time. It stayed stuck, on this plus line. I waited 30 minutes, nothing happened. Then I searched for help, and found this site, which propose a full-ready Clover folder for my motherboard. So, I downloaded it and put it on my Clover USB key, and same thing happened. Stuck at plus sign line. I don't know what's wrong. I see that some people made functionning hacks with that motherboard, so, I thing I forgot something...I searched a faulty option in the BIOS, but found nothing, everything is like asked in the tutorial for this board. So...Don't know how to fix that. Thanks in advance for your help !
