"Use createinstallmedia to make the USB then and replace the prelinkedkernel. You'll need to replace the prelinkedkernel on the HDD/SSD after the first part of the install and modify a plist. Once installed replace the kernel on the HDD/SSD and rebuild the prelinkedkernel from the installer." - Shaneee

Same Kexts as High Sierra (Lilu, WhateverGreen, FakeSMC, USBInject, NullPower, etc)
-
10.14.1 is stable, DO NOT use 10.14.2 (will boot, most apps won't work)
- On USB, skip
.IABootFiles
step - Add
kcsuffix=test
to boot flags - Make sure to also add these flags for debug:
-v debug=0x100 keepsyms=1
For 2nd stage install
- add PK to
/macOS\ Install\ Data/Locked\ Files/Boot\ Files/
- run this command w/ Volume Name:
sed -i '' 's/auth-//g' /Volumes/VOLUME_NAME/macOS\ Install\ Data/Locked\ Files/Boot\ Files/com.apple.Boot.plist
- Copy kernel to
/System/Library/Kernels
- Copy
IONetworkingFamily.kext
to/System/Library/Extensions
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext
sudo rm -Rf /System/Library/PrelinkedKernels/prelinkedkernel
sudo kextcache -u /

Stuck on

- missing prelinked kernel. Run these commands:rm -Rf /Volumes/VOLUME_NAME/System/Library/PrelinkedKernels/prelinkedkernel
cp /Volumes/USB_DRIVE_NAME/System/Library/PrelinkedKernels/prelinkedkernel /Volumes/VOLUME_NAME/System/Library/PrelinkedKernels/prelinkedkernel
-
If you get a restart that ends in
Please go to panic.apple.com
, make sure that this file is missingauth-
:/Volumes/VOLUME_NAME/macOS Install Data/Locked Files/Boot Files/com.apple.Boot.plist
- If not, remove it
Sorry for late update, I think new comers (who install macOS on AMD for the first time like me) won't know that they need to keep both:
kcsuffix=test
prelinkedkernel.test
Btw, I've successfully installed on Ryzen 2200G, following this guide: https://forum.amd-osx.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5902
Even though Shaneee mentioned that the kernel should work only on 10.14.1, but I'm using it on 10.14.3 just fine.
