Hi, a few days ago my spouse's MBA started showing problems, at first it wouldn't turn on at all, showing an orange indicator on the MagSafe charger. After resetting the SMC a couple times and letting it sit or a long time charging it booted up.

It showed the regular login screen but it wouldn't complete the login, it'd just sit on the end of the progress bar.

I booted in recovery mode, single mode, internet recovery mode, and afterwards a freshly made USB Macos mojave installer I made on my MacBook Pro 2018. None of the above complete the boot up, just sit forever on the 100% progress bar. I started the mojave installer on verbose mode and I see an "Unsupported CPU" and "Unsupported PCH" on the log. (picture attached)

I was able to boot up a live Ubuntu USB and everything seems ok. I installed the Ubuntu on the main disk to see if there was a problem with the disk at all. Ubuntu runs just fine on the MBA.

Any ideas of what this could be?

Thanks!
