Hi I installed your files on the Gigabyte motherboard. I used your Clover folder to which I added the kexts you sent me; I also placed the DSDT in the Patched folder. Everything is working fine except the front 3.0 port that "sees" the external SSD as a usb 2.0 device working at 480 MBP/s. And, of course, the Nvidia drivers of my video card are not there. I guess I will have to wait until Nvidia offers these drivers to users. Next, I will update my two other motherboards with the files you kindly sent me. Thanks again for your incredibly fast and competent help and congratulations for a wonderful web site.

HI

Wow! Yesterday I did a clean Mojave 10.14.1 on my computer with the Asus X99 mobo. I followed your instructions given in the video. I used the X99 Clover folder found in the "Files download" of this site, copied the DSDT you sent me in the appropriate folder and everything is working great. I still cannot believe how easy it was. Even booting from the USB stick was super fast and with not problems at all. I had no idea installing OS X on a Hackintosh could be so easy. Now I suppose that I can use the same SSD on which I installed Mojave and just replace the ASUS dsdt by the MSI one ant my MSI based computer should work fine. Am I right? Thanks again for your kind help.

use specific dsdt fo mobo

msi for msi, etc

never use dsdt from other mobo/diff model

My explanation was not clear, I am afraid. That is exactly what I intend to do: use the MSI DSDT with the MSI motherboard.

Thanks again

Hi

AS easy and trouble free was my Mojave installation on the Asus mobo, as difficult the installation on my MSI mobo is. I must say that I have always had some kind of problems with this computer: MSI-X99-SLI-Plus + i7-5820K. Booting has never been an automatic thing. For that reason, I am trying to do a clean install with my USB drive created with Olarila software; unfortunately, I cannot boot from the usb installation drive. Booting always hangs on "could not runtime area". I tried plugging the usb drive in usb 2,0 and usb 3.0 ports with the same problem. I am wondering if it could be a bios setting issue but I have no idea what it could be. Can you help?

Thanks

I made another attempt using the10.14. final Mojave image instead of the 10.14.1 and I was eventually able to boot from usb after the booting process hung on "kextd stall[1], (240s): "AppleACPICPU" for about 20 minutes. The installation is under way now. I will keep you informed. . The installation stopped within two minutes of completing the first step with a "damaged or incomplete' error message". I am back to square one: I cannot install Mojave on my Asus based computer.

[ref]laudou[/ref], sound like a driver uefi problem, AptioMemoryFix-64.efi

[laudou]

AptioMemoryFix-64.efi should or should not be present in the UEFI drivers folder?

[MaLd0n]

u need test other driver

[laudou]

Thanks. I will test other drivers. After making the change suggested in the link you sent me, I get another error: "Could not get SMCprovider".

u use fakesmc or virtualsmc?

[laudou]

Fakesmc

Hi

Using an EFI folder from another user with the same MSI motherboard but different CPU, I was able to avoid the "Could not allocate runtime area". The booting process hangs for a long time on "Timeout" but it eventually gets to the white Apple logo with the empty progress bar which does not start moving at all even after waiting for hours. I modified the EFI folder by selecting my CPU fakeSMC from the scroll down list: "Haswell E", I then placed your DSDT in the patched folder. But I wonder what I should do with all the SSDT patches found in the patched folder; are they CPU dependant? Then, should I delete them? I consider I have made important progress toward successful booting but I am not there yet.

Hi

Thanks for your reply. I removed all the SSDT from the ACPI folder, but the result is the same. Thanks for the link you sent me, but I am afraid this stuff is beyond my competence.

[ref]laudou[/ref], this problem is very common in x99

check if 4G is enable in bios, if yes, try disable

[laudou]

Hi

4G is not enabled in the bios. I will continue running tests and keep you informed.

Thanks
