Stuck at "Pausing 5 secs..." - Dual Xeon Westmere Board - help!

Hello all!

I am trying to load Hackintosh on the following specifications:

  • MOBO: Super Micro X8DTL-iF ATX MOTHERBOARD, LGA 1366
  • GPU: AMD Radeon 580 4GB
  • CPU: 2 x Xeon L5640
  • RAM: 24gb ECC
  • HDD: 1 TB
  • SSD: 120GB

BIOS settings are the same as in this post: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-supermicro-8-core-dual-xeon-build.20247/

My EFI system: Clover (BIOS)

On my USB drive, I have loaded the Mac OS recovery installation, my EFI is attached, I have turned on KernelCPU, and all the C states of the CPU in the clover configurator.

I have never encountered such a difficult Hackintosh to get Mac OS on, any help is greatly appreciated.

Attached is the error:

Thank you in advance!
