So, I am trying to install Catalina on an old server board - I recently upgraded the processors from Sandy- to IvyBridge, but am still not able to get it to boot with opencore.
The specs in case my profile changes in the meantime:
Motherboard: https://www.supermicro.com/products/archive/motherboard/x9dr3-f
Dual processors: https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...50l-v2-25m-cache-1-70-ghz/specifications.html
Graphics card: https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/nitro-rx-580-8g-g5
I have this combination working with windows 10, and various VMs in proxmox, including an opencore catalina VM with GPU passthrough. (Both drives have subsequently been removed from the machine).
However, the performance of Catalina via proxmox is nothing special, and am hoping to get optimal performance with Opencore.
Based on the fact that there is already a clover guide for similar hardware on this forum (https://elitemacx86.com/threads/gui...670-64gb-ram-amd-radeon-rx580.424/#post-18042), I was hoping that someone on here could help me through what is going wrong with my opencore setup.
I believe that I have setup the BIOS and followed the official opencore guide correctly - certainly to the best of my ability. However, it seems to get past the text option selector and through a good deal of verbose booting (I am using debug versions where possible), but seems to hang at slightly different positions of activity to do with PCI. I am attaching the EFI folder and the five different boot logs that were captured.
I will also try to get a list of the bios settings in the meantime and post them too.
