setup: - Z820 + 64GB + E5-2643 v1 as above. - I've tried the guide from High Sierra Insanelymac and all I get is a random boot. Not sure if it's a kernel panic but definitely early in the boot process (1-5 seconds after selecting the USB installer inside clover boot selection) - When the installer reboots on its own, I cannot see what's the message as it is too fast. - I am using nullcpupower (or whatever it is called) during installation - I've seen people share various working EFI (clover) but for Mojave. But I also get auto-reboots on those when I tried them. - When I tried other people's EFI config, I also tried using iMac 14,2 symbios as I had great luck with that when I still had my Intel S2600CP2 (dual Xeon v1/v2). I still get a reboot. Any ideas?

I want to use UEFI OSX booting on my S2600CP2 board. It's currently booting using legacy. I also have no problems creating a legacy USB installer. I know the board supports UEFI as I can boot Ubuntu (both USB installer and installed Ubuntu into an SSD) using UEFI. Windows also boots on UEFI (shows up as Windows Boot Manager or something like). I tried these 2 guides when creating the installer: 1. I followed this guide (https://github.com/Pavo-IM/CloverInstall/wiki/Yosemite) when creating a bootable UEFI clover USB installer. 2. Dual CPU.dmg guide from rampagedev Observations: 1. When booting the OSX USB installer, there's no UEFI label unlike in Ubuntu. I have no choice but to select the USB stick from the selection and when it tries to boot, all I see is the cursor blinking. 2. The USB stick was formatted using GPT (confirmed with diskutil list) Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Thanks a lot! ps. From what I can remember all SATA ports on the board are configured as AHCI. not sure if this matters.

So I'm trying to create a DSDT patch and along the way I'm learning things. I've notice some examples I've seen uses device ID while other uses the device label. Any pros/cons over the other? I can see myself leaning towards device label since it's easier to read/relate? thanks a lot! example: both lines refer to the PIC device except the 2nd one uses the device ID into device label PIC code_regex IRQNoFlags\s\(\)\n\s+\{(\d+)\} remove_matched; into device name_hid PNP0000 code_regex IRQNoFlags\s\(\)\n\s+\{(\d+)\} remove_matched;

Hello. I'm new to the hackintosh world and have been successful with installing OSX without messing around with DSDT but it seems it would make my life easier if I have a properly setup DSDT. I guess my question is in regards to the screen with before and after when opening a patch. I suppose "before" is my "config" before the patch is applied. And "after" is what it will look like after applying the patch? I'm only asking because I've opened 3 patches for my Gigabyte board and the before and after screens are identical! thanks
