Ploddles Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Do yo have an external USB drive? If so you could do a Carbon Copy of your running system (real Mac / another Hack?) and then try and boot to that on the TRX4. That was the way I first started, couldn't install straight away. I put another M.2 drive in my Hack, Carbon Copied my running system and put that in the new one. I could then boot that and do a fresh install from that to my new M.2.

Supervisor fabiosun Posted November 12, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted November 12, 2020 With clover I have posted in misc you could find a debug log try to see if there you can find useful infos to see where problem is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried but unfortunately the old installation doesn't boot on the new system. I'm so buffled.. @fabiosun efi progresses me to the installation screen with a completely different motherboard and then restarts. So weird! Is that a behavior of the graphics card you think?

Ploddles Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 You should be able to boot a system transplanted from another machine, just use the EFI for the TRX4, not the one from the other hack. Can you get hold of an RX580 for example? Get one from Amazon, try that and then return it. That way at least you eliminate/confirm it is a graphics card problem.

The other system uses Clover, do I just replace the kexts or the whole thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploddles Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Plug it into the TRX (or install it internally), but boot from my OC EFI on a USB stick (F12). OC will then see the transplanted installation and allow you to load that. OR Just replace the whole Clover EFI with the OC one.

info Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Some progress.. I've found an efi in this thread for another motherboard and the installation run normally this time but freezes 2 minutes before completing . Is there something out of place in the config that might be causing this? Thank you! OC.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervisor fabiosun Posted November 13, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted November 13, 2020 @infoinside your config.plist there are many things not useful for you as pikers boot arg or slide, or wegbeta I think your problem is usb related..also, I will try with a different disk use a simple usb mouse/keyboard other different in this config is SMBIOs , inside it is using MacPro 7.1 one I think it is not a problem, but no evidence of some improvements using it in our rigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
info Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) I managed to install Catalina and wifi and ethernet is working as well as audio! However , the system is very laggish and slow and the graphics card is not recognized at all in System Report. Are SSTDS responsible for that? I will attach a video of how it reacts! Thank you!

I made some adjustments to remove unwanted stuff. It also takes a while to boot up! Not too long but quite slow OC_new.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
