Hey All,

Thanks for this great community, I could not have done it without you :)

Chosen architecture

  • iMac19,1

My hardware

  • Gigabyte Aorus Z390 PRO (w/o wifi)
  • Intel 9600KF
  • GSkill 2x8 Gb
  • Samsung EVO 970 Plus (came with already updated drivers)
  • Gigabyte RX 590 rev2

Kexts

  • AppleALC.kext
  • IntelMausiEthernet.kext
  • Lilu.kext
  • SMCProcessor.kext
  • SMCSuperIO.kext
  • USBInjectAll.kext
  • VirtualSMC.kext
  • WhateverGreen.kext

What works

  • Network cable
  • Sound (earphones)
  • Sleep/Wake

What doesn't work

  • Bluetooth (I'm not even sure my Mobo has Bluetooth - ordered a Fenvi T919, mostly for WiFi, but I don't use anything Bluetooth)

I followed the vanilla guide and the Z390 master guide by cmer.

Troubles (I hope it will help someone)

  • 8Gb USB is not enough for a Catalina install
  • The 16 Gb USB key that I used for installed got ejected during install (got prohibited sign during install). It's because the Z390 pro has a f*ckton of USB devices and the USB3 key I had didn't work. I had to plug it into a USB2 hub (my monitor) and it was all sweet
  • I needed the EmuVariableUefi from Clover, otherwise the install hang with "about 2 minutes remaining"
