HP Z440 Workstation (X99, Haswell-E) [PCI Configuration End] error when booting installer

[shovebove]

Hi

First, thanks for the resources on this forum!

Specs:

HP Z440

Xeon e5-1660v3 (8 core, 3.0GHZ)

32GB RAM

500GB SSD

Intel Ethernet

Nvidia Quadro

I am trying to boot my High Sierra installer with the clover folder provided for X99 from this site, and my boot stops at [ PCI Configuration Begin ].

I attached picture detailing my EFI USB folder (config.plist is the default from X99 CLOVER folder here: https://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=8222)

I also attached where the boot gets stuck.

I have extracted my DSDT, and attached it. Maybe the fix is there?

My BIOS settings are pretty trivial - I disabled VT-d, secure boot (no option to disable CSM), and disabled all PCI/SATA slots/ports that are not used.

would appreciate some help!

Thanks

In case it helps - here is the full origin folder from F4 at Clover (and the assembled .dsl files using iasl).

check correct tsc sync

[shovebove]

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], Thank you for the quick response! much appreciated.

I replaced the DSDT.aml in /EFI/Clover/acpi/patched, and I am still getting the boot process stuck at same message ( [ PCI Configuration Begin ])

Any idea?

[ref]shovebove[/ref], u need tsc sync and in some cases need a pci patch

[shovebove]

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], Thanks again for responding!

Could you please help me with it? I don't know where to start with both patches.

pci patches have in Olarila folder

[shovebove]

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], It turns out I have both patches enabled (I know only one applies to 10.3.X), and I have VoodooTSCSync in my Clover folder. I attached my full clover in this reply. Anything abnormal or that I could be missing?

[ref]shovebove[/ref], Check bios settings like 4g encoding...

[shovebove]

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], No such setting the bios I have attached the extracted bios using UEFItool and IFRExtract in txt format. No 'above 4g decoding'...

feel stuck

It also crashes at different points. Sometimes [ PCI Configuration Begin ], sometimes before, sometimes HID Shim, etc..

Omg it was my PCIE bios settings!

- I changed a PCIE MMIO setting in BIOS from 64-bit to MMIO.

- Deleted the DSDT.aml you provided me, and restored the DSDT fixes in the original Olarila X99 Config.plist

- It booted past the usual point, and eventually stopped at this error (I attached it). This is like after 1 min of booting messages.

I extracted my 'new' DSDT.aml now with the new bios settings using F4. Can you help me with the new error please?

The above error is fixed if I drop all CPU PM from the SSDT (using clover DropOEM). But now I get a new error (Arch couldn't be recognised, I attached the image)
