Sharing my experience :)
​
After using iMac on my boss for a short time because he faces some problem as IT I’m lack of experience in Mac troubleshooting. I decided to study how hackintosh works because I don’t have a Mac, I learn many things. From how to build my own efi and how to fix several problems, in the help of YouTube and other websites i finally install hackintosh in my pc, in first try I’m using prebuilt efi from o la rila and raw images and lately I read some articles about how dangerous using there resources \(prebuilt EFI and os image\) .then I decided to build my own efi and manage to boot it up now Im happy using hackintosh and experience real macOS specially Mac ecosystem because I own an iPhone :\)
Working:

Machine spontaneously died - doesn't see drives - how screwed am I?
I have a somewhat old but pretty capable Hackintosh, CoffeeLake CPU, plenty of RAM and disk etc. It's been running great for many years (I think I got it when CoffeeLake was new, so I guess it's about six years old now) but out of nowhere it shut itself down the other day and now when I try to start it up, it can't see either of its boot drives, and won't boot at all past the OpenCore startup screen. I'm not really sure what to do - I wasn't planning on replacing this machine quite yet (though perhaps it noticed me browsing Mac Studio pricing and got jealous?) What would you do in this situation?
I feel like my options are -
- Try to figure out what happened, and replace whatever component(s) may have gone bad
- Replace it with a Mac mini or Mac Studio (but this would also mean finding some kind of thunderbolt or usb-c enclosure for the four drives in the hackintosh)

Notebook equivalent to a Macbook air
Hello folks.
I have tried Hackintosh a while ago and I really enjoyed it. The only problem was that I have an AMD CPU what is not too much compatible with MacOs. For example, I can´t use docker or any latest version of a virtualization software. That being said, is there any notebook under 900$/900€ that are equivalent to ta Macbook Air M2/M1 and doesn´t use AMD CPUs ?
The notebook will be used for programming purpose and internet navigation, so no need to have a good GPU.
Thanks in advanced.

MOTU Soundcard Driver not loading in OC "Could not find registry entry for "IODeviceTree: /product/audio"
Hola,
I could not get my MOTU thunderbolt soundcard to work with OC since big sur (current test on mavericks). (might be the switch from kext -> dext)
Everything works fine with clover under Mojave.
Thunderbolt will work with a different Soundcard (Universal Audio)
I did some intense debugging and found out, that the driver references the card during boot and this fails:
Involved Functions:
\- NetIOAudioDevice::getDriverService
\- getProperty: Could not find registry entry for "IODeviceTree: /product/audio
\- vm_shared_region_map_file()

Since i have the complete working IORegistry under mojave i even duplicated the PlatformInfo including the necessary ALC layout id for HDEF.
It all shows under the registry in Mavericks but the driver obviously doesnt load (see stacktrace).

The last debugging sessions including all information regarding the system specs and drivers can be found here:

Sonoma Install Going to Black Screen
Good morning!!
I am in bit of a pickle really. I am running a Ryzen 3600, RedDevil 5700XT and Asus ROG B550-I board. It appears that the SOnoma install is going well when booting and it scrolls through without issues or freeing. However, then it goes to a black screen and no luck, it just sits there.
I have read that there have been DP issues but I tried switching to HDMI and no luck.
Any advice?

How can I know if I'm currently on Secure Boot?
I want to see if I use Airportitlwm on my Hack, but it requieres Secure Boot to work and Dortania's Guide just says to leave as Default on Monterey. So I wanted to know if my Hack was on Secure Boot to use it instead of Itlwm. But, how can I know this? Is there a way to check if my Hack used Scure Boot so I can choose between the two Kexts?

Triple Boot on three drives - Ubuntu drive is not able to boot -
hey,
i installed macOS and windows on two different hard drives and everything is working fine.
I had a third ssd installed for TimeMachine but decided to put Ubuntu on it, so I made an bootable USB stick and the installation went well. My BIOS set the Ubuntu drive as prior boot drive and I could start it without problems and use it.
But after I changed the boot order to start with macOS where Opencore is installed I couldn't boot anymore into Ubuntu. First the disk was called "No Name" and after clicking on the drive this error message in the picture was showing up.
​
Does someone now what I am doing wrong or how I can fix this?
