info Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Installing Catalina. I think it might have to do with the graphics card. As soon as I try to move the installation window it restarts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervisor fabiosun Posted November 12, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted November 12, 2020 panic you posted is about cpu however try when you stay in bootmenu >(clover) press space bar and then flag nv_disable=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ploddles Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) @info I've just got home. I'll post a bios settings profile for you to load shortly. EDIT:- Attached is my bios profile, unzip it and copy to a USB stick. Boot to your bios setup and select Advanced. Select the last tab on the right and then the 'Load Profile' button at the bottom of the page. Select the USB stick and then the profile file (called TRX40Profile). Then select "Save and exit". Immediately after it reboots, go back into the bios and go to the same tab. Save the profile to one of the 10 entries and give it a name.

EDIT:- Attached is my latest config.plist that is booting my system just fine. I don't think it changed but just in case here it is. config.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

info Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 This is with the latest config as well. Am I doing something wrong creating the usb ? I downloaded catalina from the app store , mounted efi and copied the efi folder in there PXL_20201112_165520223.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploddles Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 That is right for the EFI. The next thing I would try would be to select ClearNvram, but do it 3 or 4 times. Then press the space bar and select the reset nvram option. It should then reboot automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervisor fabiosun Posted November 12, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted November 12, 2020 could you take a phot of your usb installer folder? I see with clover you reach recovery install..but you have weird result also there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervisor fabiosun Posted November 12, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted November 12, 2020 why scan policy has that number? have you tried simply with 0? it is not related but I would like you use that number with a single installed disk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ploddles Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Why have you got config.plist in Bootstrap? There should be a file called bootstrap.efi in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the main EFI folder , the bootstrap folder was not expanded for some reason and it looks like it was inside of it! I really appreciate your help guys .
