I think most of the stuff probably is unchanged from 10.13 but I wanted something ready to deploy... if there is anyone running this config. I have a Dell 780 Minitower with GT710 and build my Mojave install with Dosdude1 patch (http://dosdude1.com/mojave/). Try my clover files.

Tried your config.plist but had the the same effect, the installer get stuck at the same point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronation Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hi all, I recently decided to re-install Mojave on my 790. I wanted to go down the APFS route, after not receiving the updates correctly using HFS+. However, after an installation I end up with a grey screen with mouse icon. If I press a button the icon disappears. I'm sure this is something silly. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a 710 that I can try. Although this card has worked before. I'll swap them over real quick. So the graphics card swap did nothing. But I did end up loading on a newer clover boot loader. Which got me into the OS. And as you mentioned before, I have no sound. Which folder in clover do I add the Voodoo kext ? And does it affect the sound in any way?

With the Geforce 720 don't use AppleALC, use only VoodooHDA With the 710 no problem to use AppleALC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD100 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hello all, I have a Dell Optiplex 780 (Core 2 Quad 9400), and I am atempting to install macOS Catalina. I used dosdude1's patcher tool to create a bootable installer, and installation went without any issues. I installed Catalina to my internal SSD, but now, when I try to boot from it my system crashes. In verbose, I get all the way to IOConsoleUsers:GIOScreenLock, (When the macOS GUI initializes) however after that message, my system simply reboots. I have attached my config.plist below, any help or guidance anyone can give me would be greatly apreciated. Specs: CPU: Core 2 Quad 9400 Ram: 4GB (Stock) GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 710 config.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cele_82 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 @chris1111 sorry to disturb, do you think I'll get into problems trying the GT610 on 10.14.6 ?
