carsonr Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Hello InsanelyMac community, I am trying to install Hackintosh on a HP Compaq DX 2400, I am stuck at [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START]. I'm not sure why, as it was working prior and suddenly stopped working. UPDATE: It seems to be that when I have a 4GB memory configuration it will sometimes work; it does not work with an 8GB configuration. This is unique to booting Mac OS, I'm booting windows 10 and ubuntu with no issue. Pic of it working with 4GBs: My specs: CPU: Intel Duo Core Quad Q8200 GPU: AMD Radeon R9 255 MOBO: HP IPIBL-L8 Any help would be greatly appreciated. My EFI & SysReport is attached.

Slice Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 But what system are you trying to install? Looking at the clover config I want to propose you to set KernelLapic=YES because this is HP while I am not sure what bootloader did you use. If Clover then preboot.log is desirable to see.

An essential detail to leave out - sorry, I am using OpenCore as my bootloader and I am installing Mac OS Monterey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the equivalent setting which is LapicKernelPanic but I still am stuck on the same screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try setting DevirtualizeMmio to False and ProvideCustomSlide to True in Booter - Quirks. If it still does not boot, try setting ForceExitBootServices to True additionally.

Trying to see if I can get more bios settings available by making modifying the BIOS to make all settings available. https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/guide-legacy-amibios8-make-all-compiled-settings-available/37221 Edited October 5, 2022 by carsonr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsonr Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Modding the BIOS didn’t really reveal anything; there are no hidden settings that aren’t available on the BIOS. I would really appreciate some help or suggestions on what settings to change. Edited October 7, 2022 by carsonr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took out the two sticks I added to make it 8 GB and it seems to run just fine with 4 GBs. I am wondering if there are any fixes I can apply to make my memory work with 8 GBs as it seems to work fine when booted into windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
