Catalina installer stuck on "administrator is creating non-ejectable disk image"

pexcn commented 4 years ago

Hi guys: A few days ago, I follow this guide try install macOS Catalina (10.15.3) on AMD FX series platform using OpenCore (v0.5.6). Unfortunately stuck on those lines more than 30 minutes:

# last two lines
imageboot_setup_new: successfully authenticated /Install macOS Catalina.app/Contents/SharedSupport/BaseSystem.img
IOHDIXController: NOTE: administrator is creating non-ejectable disk image

30 minutes later, when I disconnect the USB installer drive, screen will append this log (Looks like the USB doesn't seem to be read?):

USB device 05E3073612300000 - Generic, USB Storage - detected termination of interfaceNub, currentPowerState 1, provider is non-NULL

Hi @itdawn, thanks for your reply.

That only be supported under 10.13，and you can reference XJN‘s Blog
try to prefect ACPI

pexcn commented 4 years ago

I was follow this guide, ACPI patch was perfected.

GK107 core GPUs natively supported by Catalina, no driver needed: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/will-my-nvidia-graphics-card-work-with-macos-list-of-desktop-cards-with-native-support.283700/

Hello, I have the same problem. AMD FX8350, Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, Radeon RX 460. If I make sure there is NO APFS partition on any of the devices I have connected to the motherboard (whether I'm booting from them or not), I can successfully boot into the installer.

That means I have to install Catalina to HFS+ - which can't happen, the installer gets stuck, with error logging reporting "Unable to get fs for (null)".

Of course, I can partiton my drive to APFS inside the installer, and I did manage to complete the first part of the Catalina installation this way (but it took around 6 hours). However after the computer rebooted so as to complete the installation from local storage, I again was not able to boot, with the same message: "administrator is creating non-ejectable disk image".

Some help would be appreciated, thank you.

@Pasarel I still haven't solved this problem, that's too troublesome, I gave up temporarily.

Issue tracker is for patch issues, not for support, go to the discord.

Oh, sorry, I do not know there was discord before.
