How to Fix Prime z390 woes

Graphics issues usually stem from an unsupported GPU, missing acceleration patches, or incorrect boot arguments.

Quick Fix Steps

  1. Verify GPU support: Check if your GPU model is natively supported in your target macOS version via WhateverGreen documentation.
  2. Update kexts: Ensure Lilu and WhateverGreen are current and loaded before other GPU-related kexts.
  3. Check boot arguments: Add -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 for debugging, or agdpmod=pikera for modern AMD cards.
  4. Test Metal support: Open About This Mac > System Report > Graphics and confirm Metal is listed.

Verification

  • Graphics acceleration is smooth (not CPU-bound).
  • Metal is reported in System Information.
  • No GPU-related kernel panics on boot.

Original Question: "[help!] Prime z390 woes"

Hey all. I’m currently 3 days into troubleshooting a Mojave build. Everything I’ve tried has failed 😫.

Mojave install (unibeast and clover) - hangs at the end of the Apple screen loading bar... I’ve left it for hours, nothing.

High Sierra install (unibeast / vanilla) - installation starts with a command prompt style load that freezes and hangs at random points within the first 2 seconds. At first I thought it may have been a long load, but I realized the hang was happening when the prompt failed to finish writing the Apple copyright tags...

Hardware: Asus prime z390 a Intel i5 8400 XFX Radeon rx570

I’ve tried running the install without the graphics card. Usb 2.0 and 3.0 drives All the usb ports

I even had a moment of weakness and tried to install windows 10...
