Charlweed Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I expect this is the Mojave installer hanging, but I’m not sure it isn’t OpenCore. Either way, the installer GUI is not displayed. This hardware used to work with Clover booting Mojave, but the hard-drive died and I want to upgrade to OpenCore and Big Sur. I’m starting with Mojave, because I know it worked with this hardware. OpenCore starts, and displays the picker menu for a few seconds, then runs the first entry, which is the USB installer stick. The Installer (or something) is apparently hanging after USBInjectAll Preceding line was LiLu rtc: @read failure1 bytes from 180 E00002c2 What is the most likely problem? The SSDT? Or a driver? Or other? I’ve tried SSDT-UNC.aml from the OpenCore bundle, SSDT-UNC.aml from dortania’s github, and SSDT-UNC0.aml from a different github repo. I’m about to try some SSDTs I built when I booted this PC from Clover.

Charlweed Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Looks like USB is a red herring. Installer is not failing at exactly the same point every time. Sometimes it gets to AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement, sometimes not. But it always seems to fail before a complete line is printed on the console.

Charlweed Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Finally got to installer via OpenCore 6.8 by using boot-args "-v debug=0x100 keepsyms=1 alcid=1 nvda_drv_vrl=1 npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 LogEveryBoot=Yes" Neither mouse nor keyboard work yet, but this is the most progress after many hours of work and 22 calendar days.
