Really appreciate you sharing your EFI folder. I have the same MB and similar CPU as you. I was wondering if you could confirm whether «sleep» and «shut down» is working for you on your build?

I cant get my machine to sleep, and when i shut down it immediately restarts. And so i am forced to shut it down forcefully by holding down the power button. If your build works with sleep and shutdown, then i might use your EFI folder to see if things improve for me.

Thanks in advance!

It is not perfectly, but Sleep and Shutdown all worked well.

I did some changes in my DSDT. You can have a try and build for yourself .

Maybe some help for you.

I’ve the exact same motherboard and CPU and i can’t get to the install. The maximum I could do is getting to the apple logo ( after a little bit of initialisation and verbose ), it stucks here with the mouse cursor moving.

What was your procedure EXACTLY, if you remember ?

and lastly. patience

Step 1: Preparing USB OSX Installer
Follow the instructions on creating a Unibeast on a working OSX setup
Link: http://www.tonymacx86.com/61-unibeast-install-os-x-mountain-lion-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html

Step 2: OSX Installation proper
At the part of booting the OSX installer on the USB drive onto the Gigabyte motherboard use these parameters:
UseKextCache=Yes npci=0x3000 cpus=1 GraphicsEnabler=No -f

Step 3: Post OSX installation
Following back the instructions on the actual installation on the link on step 1, install OSX. After installation and upon reboot, boot back on the USB and choose the SSD where OSX was installed with the same parameters that was used on Step 2.

Once on the OSX desktop, install VoodooTSCSync.kext using Kext Helper

Run Multibeast. Choose EasyBeast Installation. Select also the ff:
Disk : IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector ; 10.8.3 TRIM Patch
Miscellaneous : ElliottForceLegacyRTC ; EvOreboot ; FakeSMC v5.1.61 ; NullCPUPowerManagement
Network : Intel — hnak’s AppleIntelE1000
Bootloaders : Chimera v2.0.1 r2109

Gigabyte X79 UP4 + I7-4930k , trouble to get into mojave installer

rpaillot926

I read many posts regarding X79 including the one just below mine with a guy who nicely shared his DSDT/ EFI .
Unfortunately it doesnt work.
Currently my 4930K works on Yosemite, but I’ve too many softwares who dont work anymore on yosemite and time
has come to update it to Mojave!

At first i had some cpu problems (kernel panic) , then still waiting for root device.
THe best I could do is the clover.zip attached.

All «seems» to work ( although in the verboses, attached, there are many weird messages like USB errors , TSC not synchronized, XPC.launchd aborts)
until the installer starts to launch.
I first see a grey picture with mouse cursor ( that I can move )
then apple logo with loading bar which stucks at around 1/5 of the loading. I see the mouse cursor appearing
and I can move it, but it doesnt go further.

I’m a relatively newbie in Hackintosh and i’m really struggling at this point.
My graphic card is a GTX 650 Nvidia and I hear those cards were not compatible anymore with Mojave, so that might be the culprit ?
If yes, is there a possibility to still be able to install mojave , then I’ll buy an AMD card to have all gpu accelerations.

Thank you for your help,

Thank you so much for your answer.

Here are my bios screenshots attached.

I’ve tried unchecking inject intel, still no luck and stuck at apple logo (while having mouse cursor working )after 2-3 minutes of a lot of things being loaded (i see that with verbose mode )

Thanks for your bios suggestions.

I actually got one step further but I’m not sure if the bios changes made it ( the difference was mainly UeFI only in boot and usb3 onboard disabled, and erp support disabled )

Unfortunately I could not reproduce that step further so it’s kind of weird .
What I did is I unplugged my FireWire pci card and immediately after the verbose part I succeeded getting in the installer but unfortunately I could only see a grey screen ( different from the first grey screen ) with 2 lines of « license agreement « and nothing got further.

I rebooted computer and didn’t change a thing and unfortunately had the same thing as first time : black screen with apple logo, loading bar stopping at 1/5th , mouse cursor available and moving.

In my clover I used a dsdt from someone who had the same motherboard. But maybe they are not the best ?

Good news, I found a EFI on a forum which allowed me to go to the installer and boot on mojave!
A lot of things seem to work. ethernet work (although I do have the feeling that when I download a big file it somehow prevents me to go on any website, I mean I have to pause the download so the website load. It might be my ISP but it might also be the ethernet kext? note : it doesn’t do that all the time. Only very rare time.)

-Mojave boots very quickly.
-USB works.
-Nvidia GT960 works out of the box with acceleration although. there are some graphical glitches.
I will solve that problem by buying a Sapphire RX580.
-Sound works although in mono only. I don’t really care as I do have a professional sound card ( I’m a composer)
-restart/shutdown works.

A few questions :

1)CPU works as expected although I overclocked it in bios ( using turbo ratio) it doesn’t seem to be taken into account when being in Mac OS. I guess I have to modify some thing?

I can live without OC but would appreciate to know why it doesn’t work

2) Any ideas why Ethernet could have these «hiccup» problems when downloading a file and trying to go on some websites at the same time? (The thing is it doesn’t always happen, I would say 95% of the time everything works. Its just sometime
when I’m changing website, it seems «stuck», not loading anything and I have to pause the current download)
Might be ISP-related, but I don’t think so.

3) I did have a weird thing regarding time clock. Usually time clock gets set up automatically by Mac OSX.
Here it didn’t work as expected, I had to set the right timezone. Why so?

4) I attached my EFI, I would appreciate SO MUCH if anybody could analyse my EFI a bit and see if there is room for improvement.

EDIT: 5)Also when using HWMonitor, I don’t see my CPU/motherboard temperature. Only the SATA ones.
