Kernel Issue on Monterey Install
System
CPU: i7 4790 Haswell
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor 8G
MB: ASUS H81I Plus
SMBIOS: iMac 17,1
No dedicated wifi or bluetooth card (Ethernet only)
Issue
macos installer gets stuck in a loop with errors like:
failed lookup: name = com.apple.dock.fullscreen
OS_REASON_LIBSYSTEM | Bluetooth fatal error - crashing { build=release, reason,114 }
OpenCore debug text file consistently stops at \[EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START\]
What I've tried (software)
Recreating my config.plist from scratch
Booter
Whitelisting MMIO regions one at a time
SetVirtualMap Quirk
EnableWriteUnprotector -> True
RebuildAppleMemoryMap -> False
SyncRuntimePermissions -> False
Kernel Patch
AppleXcpmCfgLock -> True
UEFI
ProvideConsoleGop -> True
IgnoreInvalidFlexRatio -> True
Effectively, I've tried everything (as far as I can tell) that the Dortania guide here recommends to solve this issue.
# Misc info about this project:
I recently received 3 itx PCs from work and have been on a mission to convert them into dualboot hackintosh & windows systems for my friends and myself. The other two PCs are running with the same motherboard, the i5-4570 that they came with, and no GPU. Due to a defect on one of the Motherboards I was not able to update the bios properly to run the i7-4790 (wouldn't post), and cannot be arsed to figure that out.
This hardware ran macos with the i7 and no gpu, but with a different install of course. Later, this system ran macos with the GPU and i5. I then swapped the cpu (GPU + i7) and it booted (with iMac 17,1 SMBIOS) but only once. When attempting to start the system later my macos drive disappeared as a bootable drive in the BIOS. By this time I had wiped my install thumbdrive, and this kernel issue has been present ever since I recreated the installer.
As such, I don't believe it to be an issue with my hardware, but with my install thumb drive.
First, I pulled the EFI from one of the other systems, changed the GPU boot args and the SMBIOS, and first got this error. I've reviewed all of the config.plist to check the parameters and all appears to be good. I then went through the guide to troubleshoot this error to no avail.
I will be creating the installer and the config.plist from scratch, but feel quite stuck otherwise.
Any and all help solving this would be much appreciated!!

Xcode App Crash After OpenCore Patcher Installation on AMD Ryzen 5 3600: SwiftUI Preview Issue

Reboot before installer GUI shows up
For whatever reason, while the installer is loading, the computer just does a complete reboot.
First, my specs:
- Intel 6200U (Skylake)
- HD 520 Graphics
- Unknown SSD, but I remember it being a generic Lenovo M.2 SATA drive
- Intel WiFi (confirmed working with itlwifi)
- RealTek RTL8211 Ethernet (through USB)
- Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260
Now, this configuration has worked perfectly dozens of times before as I was testing some things to get the installer to run, but now all of a sudden it doesn't work.
It's worth mentioning that this rebooting also occurred in the successful installs when doing any of the following:
- Erasing a disk
- Formatting a disk
- Checking a disk
- Partitioning a disk
- Searching the web
I can't help but feel that this issue, the aforementioned reboots, and my various issues getting the GUI to run are all somehow related. I'm getting a sneaking suspicion that it has to do with either my USB hardware, my network hardware, or my sound hardware.
This first happened when I noticed some AppleALCU.kext errors were causing other issues like the installer sometimes never getting to the GUI phase at all, and such decided to remove it and add it later. Unfortunately this caused these symptoms to start up, and even after adding AppleALCU.kext back, same symptoms.
Tried with and without -v and -igfxvesa.
Interestingly, sometimes it will get to the loading-bar phase, then immediately reboot after a few seconds.
Resetting NVRAM does not help.
Unsure what's going on and would appreciate help.
I'm unfortunately not able to post my OC directory nor my logs due to some unfortunate and unforeseen issues (unrelated to this whole debacle).
Would like to know if anyone has any suggestions meanwhile I try and get the EFI Dir and log.

S400CA Asus - macOS Catalina BOOT! (WIP)
I managed to boot and install macOS Catalina on my S400CA laptop. I found very few resources related to this exact model, but with a lot of research, I was able to create an EFI that booted Catalina successfully.
MacOS Catalina Versão 10.15.7 - Hackintosh S400ca Asus
Hardware:
- Processor: i5 3317U - Ivy Bridge
- GPU: Integrated Intel 4000
- RAM: 10 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
- Laptop Model: Asus Vivobook S400CA i5 model
- Audio Codec: Realtek ALC270
- Ethernet Card: Realtek Gigabit Ethernet
- Wi-Fi/BT Card: Atheros AR5B97
- Touchscreen: Yes
- Touchpad: Yes
- BIOS Revision: BIOS Version 210
Guide: Dortania OpenCore, various forums, and YouTube videos
What works:
- Wi-Fi (I had to add some Kexts to get it working)
- Keyboard
- Trackpad 90%, some bugs (e.g., difficulty dragging icons, it ends up clicking unintentionally)
- USB Ports
- iCloud (I think, haven't tested)
- Battery and charge percentage
- Booting and restarting without issues
What doesn't work:
- Internal audio and 3.5mm output both don't work
- Screen brightness
- Integrated graphics card
- iMessage, etc. (Do I need an iPhone connected to the Apple ID?)
- Touchscreen
- Ethernet
- Keyboard - it doesn't recognize some keys like Control
- Touchpad
https://preview.redd.it/vtxt30j88e8d1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04611940cda7e972cd5be7129bc5174587838fea
Problems:
- I can't adjust the brightness, the keys don't work either
- The integrated graphics card is an Intel 4000, but only 3 MB of video memory is allocated
- The screen resolution doesn't seem to be at its maximum
- Over time, the screen can become static, but a slight touch on the touchpad refreshes it, not a major issue
Extras:
- I had to make some adjustments in the config.plist to solve a problem I faced at the beginning of the Catalina installation. The screen was divided into 4 parts, showing the same image four times, making it impossible to read or see anything. After some research, I found the root of the problem and changed the config.plist, and the screen worked perfectly, but with the limitation of 3 MB of VRAM.
- I also had to find a compatible Kext for my Wi-Fi network card. After some research, I found one, and now it works perfectly.
What's still missing?
- Graphics Card: Need to increase the 3 MB
- Audio: Still haven't managed to get the audio working
- Boot from SSD without the USB drive

macOS Recovery reboots into Windows
Trying to install macOS Catalina, after a while it restarts but instead of booting back into the installer it boots back into Windows. Okay, I set the boot priority to the USB. Now it just boots into the macOS Recovery. Not where it continues installing, but where you can choose to install it. There isn't a new option either, just the macOS installer, Windows, and reset NVram.
What's the issue?

Old Toshiba Laptop Snow Leopard blinking cursor
Hey guys, I'm trying to set up snow leopard (10.6) on an old Toshiba laptop with a Celeron 440. Problem is it can't boot from USB so i burned plop (a bootloader) to a DVD. Once i boot to the USB it's just a blinking cursor. Keep in mind i have setup duetpkg on this USB with MacOS but i cant see why it wouldnt be booting and it would just be stuck at a blinking cursor. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Also i dont see any opencore logs.
if i select HDB partition 1 from the bootloader (i suppose this is where the MBR is supposed to be) it says invalid boot signature but it lets me boot.

* **Ethernet Card: Realtek RTL8111, (Haven't tested as I use usb tethering)**
* **Wifi/BT Card: mediatek MT792 PCI Express wireless controller**
* **NVME: samsung oem installed**
Ugrading from Monterey to Ventura was a pain , from Ventura to Sonoma was somewhat troubling but Sonoma to sequoia was a smooth as hell transition. (considering you didn't cut corners while making your efi )
Bugs: usual beta bugs , crashes here and there sometimes , but not really severe ones. the screen saver animation can get choppy when running with hidpi enabled one due to lack of framebuffer optimization needed, except that things are super smooth here.

Boot Screen resolution/Hertz
I am facing a strange issue on my system. When it loads the apple logo appears after like 30 percent loading bar. black screen appears (for 3-4 seconds) then login screen appears then after the password again 3-4 second black screen appears.
Sonoma
Screen is connected via displayPort

boot args: agdpmod=pikera alcid=11 -wegnoigpu watchdog=0 -ctrsmt dk.e1000=0 e1000=0 npci=0x2000
if i set my monitor resolution to 3440 x 1440@60Hz then the second time black screen thing is gone (after login i will need to change it back to 144) so that doesn't make any sense because it feels laggy. but the first time after the apple logo black screen appears for 3 second. So is there any workaround you guys know that would be greatly appreciated.

Does SSD Speed affect performance?
I have SSD that performs on Windows with around 1400 Mbs Read, and 500 Mbs Write.
On my hackintosh it perfoms 60 mbs Write and 100 mbs Read. Can this affect my performance as Im having a lot of stutters when the system boots up and when i load some websites with a lot of data.
The app i used to test: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blackmagic-disk-speed-test/id425264550?mt=1
- When using the app to do the tests the stutters increase by a lot.
Everything else seems to fine, so should i try reinstalling on faster SSD and why is the SSD performing so badly on my hackintosh.

Asus Aspire MM1-571: can't get trackpad to work

I also have SSDT-XOSI, so it should be recognized, and I know it is because Opencanopy actually lets me use atleast the touchpad (no click) when I use VoodooSMBus. The keyboard works perfectly fine as it's PS/2. Another issue I've had is the wifi card is unsupported and I can't use a USB dongle either. So I have to use USB tethering or LAN to connect to the Internet which just isn't ideal. Anyone knows anything?

HELP with dualbooting Windows with macOS High Sierra
I was trying to dualboot Windows 11 with macOS High Sierra through OpenCore using the provided material in Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/
I essentially created my own installer USB with the files that is listed for my specific hardware. Here are the specifications:
CPU : 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10700F
GPU : GeForce GT 1030
RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz
Motherboard: GIGABYTE H410M H V3 with H510 Chipset (I did not touch any of the special features in the motherboard BIOS)
On first bootup from the USB, it showed a critical error saying "EfiDpcProtocolDatabase already installed in database". I booted back to Windows and removed the mentioned files, second bootup shows the same error but it's for HiiDatabase, i tried to remove it but it did not work, it showed "HiiDatabase.efi at 9 cannot be found" (i tried fixing the config.plist too but it didn't worked.)
The list of drivers i'm using are mentioned in the install guide mention above.
