Installer freezes after loading kernel(?)

[AStopher]

Hey,

I'm wanting to install macOS on my PC but the installer/Clover freezes just after "+++++++++++++++++"- the general Mojave guide (https://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=6743) says that "if you have a problem in ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ screen, use OsxAptioFix3Drv-64.efi instead AptioMemoryFix-64.efi" which I've done but it hasn't made a difference (not sure if I'm doing it correctly):

When this happens my USB devices turn off (LEDs on keyboard and mouse turn off) but never turn back on, it may be kernel-panicking but starting in verbose mode (which it does by default) doesn't show any information beyond what's in the photo above. I'm not new to hackintoshing (have been doing it since 2009-ish but this is the first time I'm trying to install macOS in a number of years and the old tricks like "cpus=1" don't seem to make a difference or no longer work).

My system should be compatible without much of a headache required to configure macOS for it (I know that every configuration is different, it's the nature of hackintoshes):

• CPU: Intel i7 7800x

• RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX (4x4GB modules)

• Motherboard: EVGA x299 Micro

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 570

• Storage: 120GB WD Green SATA m.2 SSD (the intended install target for macOS), 500GB Seagate HDD

 

I've also tried the x299 Clover listed here (https://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6374) with no effect.

What is it/could it be about my system that macOS/Clover simply doesn't like?

I'll also note that with non-vanilla distributions (namely Niresh's) I encounter a similar issue (with Niresh's, it loads the HFS+ files, and then the screen goes black and freezes with no diagnostic info on-screen, again if I boot with verbose the same thing happens). I'm thinking that the two similar issues are likely caused by the same thing.

I've attached my entire CLOVER directory (and subdirectories, I also dumped the native ACPI files with F4 when in Clover's menu) if that could be of any assistance.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi MaLd0n,

I deleted and replaced the Clover folder on my install USB with the one you attached to your post and got the same issue.

The image I'm using is Mojave 10.14.1 from the Olarilla Mojave download page here: https://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=6743

Am now downloading "Mojave FINAL" and will post here with the result (will copy over the Clover folder you provided too).

Cheers.

That didn't work (same thing happens).

The fresh Mojave image has downloaded and my USB drive is being imaged, when done I'll replace its Clover folder with the one you provided and will see if it will boot.

It's odd, it's as if it's trying to initialise USB devices but fails- my motherboard only has USB 3.0 and one 3.1 port, and I've disconnected everything apart from the USB, mouse, and keyboard. I've had such an issue (failure initializing USB devices) before a few years ago but when that happened I had a full kernel panic telling me what happened (which I don't in this case).

Is it possible to make it log information to disk to help determine where the problem lies?

Update: the fresh image with your Clover folder didn’t work.

If I can’t get this to work I might have to resort using a VM, hopefully won’t need to though.

Hey did you get anywhere with this? I’ve been stuck with the same error. I’ve tried all the variants of the memory fix and even different ram and motherboard. Anyone have any clues how to get past this?!

I didn't unfortunately since I had to sell the system and downgrade to a Core 2 Quad system (which runs High Sierra flawlessly with everything working, even sleep and restarting works properly).
