Disclaimer: I was forced to add a tag to the title but have only seen this issue on my cMP5,1. As such, I have no idea if this exists on earlier MacPros.

Environment
- Platform: cMP5,1 (2012) --- 2x 5645 --- 64GB RAM
- GPU: Radeon Pulse RX 580 8GB
- OC version: 0.8.0; plain vanilla Clover install except for the following (all done for troubleshooting purposes):
- ADD "-v" to the nvram boot-args
- ADD
USBInjectAllkext - CHANGE
config.plist: Kernel -> Quirks -> XhciPortLimit = True
- OS version: High Sierra (10.13.6)
- USB peripheral: Inatek KT-4004 (Fresco FS-1100 chipset)
- Verbose boot is enabled
Issue
The system will boot from power-on with no issues but hangs when trying to reboot. The final boot-screen message is "Waiting for root device" accompanied by garbled text and the "prohibited sign". NOTE: This issue was first seen prior to any of the OC changes noted above.At the very start of the boot process, both operations find the same root device.

USB mapping
As noted above, OC is via Clover which, AFAIK, is intended to work without any tuning when used on genuine MacPros.That said, my research points to USB mapping being the culprit but here's the thing; all USB ports appear to work without having done the mapping. In addition, all of the guides I have seen for USB mapping presume it is being done on a Hackintosh, not a real Mac, so I'm hesitant to trust those procedures and solutions on this platform.

USBInjectAll kext and all ports appear to be mapped correctly. However, one thing that concerns me is the output from the ioreg command. The Dortania guide says that if any output is seen with that command, then port\controller renaming (not mapping) is required but it is not clear to me how that would be done on a Mac. So all this coupled with several posts by others who say they have this exact same setup --- including the Inatek card --- working with no mods, have compelled me to reach out to the community.Anyone have any ideas, thoughts, suggestions?
