Help installing my Kaby Lake laptop
Hello,
I’ve tried to install my Asus VivoBook 15 X507UF to Hackintosh (Ventura, Monterey and Catalina) but it doesn’t worked. I’ve used XiaoMi Notebook Air and Notebook Pro EFI that has the same CPU and GPU but it doesn’t show anything when I select EFI (external) (dmg) in OpenCore. Also I’ve modified config.plist with new serials made in GenSMBIOS but I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.
CPU: Intel Core i7-8550U
GPU: Intel UHD 630 - NVIDIA MX130 (x)
RAM: 2x8 SODIMM DDR4
Display: 15.6in 1366x768
Thank you

Updating to 14.4 Beta - SecureBootModel -> Disabled
If you are trying to update to 14.4 Beta and the installer fails to complete, change MISC -> Security -> SecureBootModel to "Disabled".

Graphics Question
Newbie here, please be gentle :-)
System:
Mobo- Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Elite
Ram - 64Gb 3200 DDR4
CPU - Intel Core i9-10850K
SSD - 4Tb SATA
OS - Ventura
OpenCore - 0.9.7
I have been using the onboard U630 graphics but with lots of mouse stuttering etc. Just added a Radeon RX580, and it works ok with the display port, but there is still stuttering. What changes do I need to do to got graphics acceleration.
Report shows:
VRAM 31mb and no kext loaded.
How do I attach my config.plist?
THanks
Rob

Big Sur on Acer Aspire E1-570!
​
\\"About this Mac\\"
My first Hackintosh is finally complete! I am planning on switching the Wi-Fi card with an Intel one so it works better than 500KBPs and I can also listen through AirPods clearly, but other than that I am very satisfied with my efforts.
# Acer Aspire E1-570:
OS: Big Sur
CPU: I3-3217U @ 1.80 GHz
GPU: IHD 4000
RAM: 12GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (It doesn't boot with 16 for some reason)
SDD: KINGSTON 256GB SA400S37240G
Ethernet Board: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM57786 Gigabit
Wi-Fi Board: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565

​
# What works:
Graphics Acceleration
Sleep (I don't think it's hibernating though)
Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth suck because Atheros is not natively supported)
Brightness Slider
Audio
HDMI
iServices
# What doesn't work
Sleep on lid close (I think my lid is broken)
Microphone
Brightness Keys

VRAM 7MB - UHD 620 - Laptop on Sonoma
Hi,
I'm facing an installation issue on my laptop. I have a TOSHIBA Portégé X50-G-11R. I've already replaced the SSD with a Western Digital one because the original was a Samsung PM981a, and it wasn't working...
Here's my configuration:
TOSHIBA Portégé X50-G-11R
Intel® Core™ i7-10510U
UHD 620
SSD NVMe WD_BLACK SN770 1TB
I to get Sonoma installed, it boots correctly, and the components are working fine. I followed the Dortania guide.
However, I'm having an issue with my iGPU. It's stuck at 7MB, and I can't seem to resolve it.
I have WhateverGreen and Lilu loaded properly.
I noticed that in my config.plist file, if I have:
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0): it doesn't boot, black screen.
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1b,0x0): it boots correctly but at 7MB, so it's unusable.

Bluetooth only found Apple devices issue
Hi mates, recently I have been experiencing a new issue with Bluetooth connections. After a fresh install of Ventura and Sonoma, my machine only finds and pairs with Apple devices like the Magic Mouse (gen 1), Magic Keyboard (gen 2), and Airpods Pro (gen 1). Other Bluetooth devices don't appear on the Nearby devices list.
​
I have tried both the onboard Intel Bluetooth and the Orico BT 403 USB Dongle, but the result remains the same.

hackintosh on a pentium 4
Dear community, not long ago, I ventured into installing a hackintosh on a pentium 4 single core at 1.4Ghz socket 423, consulting the internet I found a site in which an endless number of ISOS images recommended for specific architectures linked to archive.org were displayed. Unfortunately I was unable to download the ISO image due to negligence. Some time later I wanted to resume this challenge, but I couldn't find that site again. If you would be kind enough to tell me the "site" I would appreciate it. Greetings.

macOS Sonoma 14.3
I rebuilt my system from this post. Currently had failed RAM, but decided to rebuild with a Gigabyte Z790 D DDR4 Motherboard, and a i7-12700KF. Same dGPU (AsRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming) and different RAM but same speeds.

CFG-Lock Disabled in BIOS
All E-Cores & P-Cores enabled
No custom CPUFriend kext.
Only utilizing `CPUTopologyRebuild.kext`
32GB DDR4-3200 RAM
Utilizing `RestrictEvents.kext` for CPU naming, and hiding software RAID drives
AsRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming
Screens come on slightly faster with this setup, unsure why but currently investigating.

OpenCore
Version 0.9.7
Secure Boot is currently in progress and all OpenCore binaries are already signed with the signature being used for the BIOS
Currently utilizing CustomSMBIOSGuid \+ UpdateSMBIOSMode as some Gigabyte software checks SMBIOS data and will not work if its not a compatible Gigabyte product.
Performance is actually pretty on point when compared to Windows. Roughly a 6% decrease in single core performance and roughly 3% multi-core performance decrease overall. Not bad considering the emulation (VirtualSMC, and other kexts that mimic mac hardware) overhead that normally takes a 2-3% overall decrease in performance.

What Works
1. CPU Power Management
1. So far E-Core & P-core scheduling appears to be working
2. dGPU with Full DRM functionality
3. Ethernet
4. WiFi
5. UPS Battery Backup
6. USB Ports
What Does not Work
1. iGPU as there is none
2. Continuity
3. Sleep
1. Sleep works once, then fails. This is so far due to the Z790 updated BIOS for Rocket Lake and newer CPUs
2. Since I cannot downgrade the BIOS, this is non-fixable in the current standpoint but it's still being investigated
Overall, another successful build that honestly am more impressed.

C Key at Boot?
Hello everyone. I've been trying to install Sonoma on my Notebook 9 Pro for a few days now using either Opencore or Clover and have had a bunch of issues. Yesterday, I finally was able to boot to Opencore and was met with a Prohibited sign, over and over again. Annoyed as it was pretty late, I slapped my keyboard and tried again and to my surprise it booted to the installer. Started the installation process, but every time it would reset I would have the same problem. After a thorough and complex experimentation phase (consisting of slapping my keyboard lol), I had determined that pressing the C key allowed me to proceed. Don't judge me, I was pretty high at the time lol.
My question to you is, what does pressing C at the Opencore selector screen actually do? I'm still doing post-install cleanup, kexts and whatnot and would like to stop pressing C lol.

Random kernel panics in my brand new HP laptop
I was hoping to flaunt my new HP laptop job, but I still have details to work out. Random kernel panics are very common in a new install. They're hard to track and fix, because there's no set way to reproduce them reliably. They almost always happen while I'm away, anywhere from 5 minutes to overnight.
>Process name corresponding to current thread (0xffffff9a4a70d598): WindowServer
Boot args: -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 -igfxcdc -igfxdvmt
I feel like I can reduce boot args and make permanent configurations in config.plist for better stability. Where to start? I have the patience for trial-and-error, but I welcome advice. There's no reward in reinventing the same fix.

config.plist guide for AMD Ryzen laptop hackintosh?
Hi, I'm wondering if there is a guide for the config.plist setup for an AMD Ryzen laptop hackintosh.
The official Dortania guide only has configuration guides for Intel laptops and AMD desktops, not AMD laptops. I would assume that the AMD desktop config.plist guide is not applicable to AMD laptops.
The NootedRed guide, which does explain what kexts and SSDTs are needed for AMD, does not contain a config.plist configuration guide. The page which should contain it (https://chefkissinc.github.io/guide/configuration/laptops) simply contains a barrier symbol, implying it is under construction. However I have seen numerous posts on this subreddit showing people having success with AMD laptops, so it must not be impossible. I'm just wondering what guide these people followed to do that. Any advice would be appreciated. I have already acquired the kexts and SSDTs I need, and I have prior experience with hackintoshing various Intel-based systems if it matters.
Thanks in advance.

High CPU usage on safari? MacOS Sonoma
Hi, just set up my i5-12400f and rx 6700 xt system and everything runs fine except I get very high cpu usage while watching videos and browsing the web. Im not sure if it’s cpu related or if the GPU isn’t being used. Everything else is buttery smooth at 165hz.
Ive tried imacpro1,1 and macpro7,1 smbios but it doesn’t fix the issue except that the imacpro1,1 gives me better geekbench scores.
Could it be some issues with Sonoma?
Ive done a lot of searching beforehand and im thankful for any kind of help i can get

Modifying VRAM occurs Panic/BSOD
Hi everyone, I made a working hackintosh installation on my laptop, booting macOS Ventura. However I need more VRAM for better graphics acceleration performance (using NootedRed), but my laptop is currently locked at 512mb VRAM. I tried using SmokelessUMAF, but when I change the UMA buffer size to anything than 512mb, it occurs a BSOD when booting to W10 with no crash dump (error code: systemserviceexception) and it also occurs a Kernel Panic when booting to macOS (I will comment it to this post). I already asked to the AMD OSX discord server, to the SmokelessUMAF discord, and they can't find a solution to this problem, so you’re my last chance.
Specs (Huawei Matebook 16):
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
RAM: 16GB RAM
GPU: iGPU Vega 8
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: Intel AX210 (working)
