Asus Z390M-Pro Gaming. Install works but won't boot into OS afterwards

[geirisk8]

So I've got a weird situation going on here. I've built a bunch of Hackintoshes with great success. I've never used an Asus board before so here are the specs:

Asus Z390M-Pro Gaming TUF motherboard

i7 9700K

iGPU

32GB RAM

Samsung 970 EVO NVMe 500GB

I'm installing Mojave (latest version) on it using clover and installing it works fine, no issues there at all. I boot the installer, format the NVMe drive and then install. It restarts and I choose to boot the installer again and it continues like normal. So once that finishes without a hiccup, I restart once more to try and boot the OS on the drive I installed to but I just won't do it. I've seen forums where people use the same configuration (more or less) and tried their EFI folders with no luck at all.

I've attached the EFI folder I'm using right now and enables me to boot the installer, but not the OS. I'm hoping someone here can help me spot the issue. It's too big for attaching here so here's a dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7fxwdkvutw7pjt6/EFI.zip?dl=0

The forum won't let me upload .jpg files. Says it's invalid file extension, which doesn't make any sense.

No luck. Can't even boot into the Installer anymore.

But how? I can't even use the computer. I'm still just trying to install and boot the computer.

Ah, thank you!

By the way I will for sure donate once this damn computer is up and running!

I may have pressed F4 more than once, so I'm sorry if that caused duplicate files or how that works.

Okay so I did this and it will now boot the installer so I did a fresh install (formatted the NVMe drive to APFS) and that went smooth. Once the install finished and the computer rebooted to try and boot into the OS, I get the same error as before, see image below.

It doesn't seem to be enabled so I tried both and it doesn't change anything. Unless I'm doing it wrong?

YES it worked. It boots in safe mode. So what can we do next to make sure I don't need to boot in safe mode?

Sorry for the late reply, I was away on holiday.

I'm sorry but what does that even mean?

So disable the iGPU? I'm not using another GPU though.

[ref]geirisk8[/ref], if u don't use dgpu, use hackintool to create a correct igpu patch, just it

Okay I'll try that. By the way when I booted in Safe Mode and went to "About This Mac" it does recognise the iGPU correctly with the right amount of memory as well. Does that tell you anything?

[ref]geirisk8[/ref], use hackintool

I did, it didn't solve the problem.

[ref]geirisk8[/ref], if don't solve, u made a wrong patch

There's a preset for my motherboard and I used that with no luck.

I'm no expert but I don't think the problem is graphics related. I just keep getting a message about a drive that isn't or can't be mounted. You can see the photo I took of the messages I was getting.

When I boot in safe mode, the iGPU shows up absolutely normal, like it's supposed to. The problem must be something else that is disabled when I boot in safe mode.

[ref]geirisk8[/ref], u can use only platform id and dev id, check if work
