siddharth3322 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Following this tutorial, I have prepared required EFI partition: How to Create OpenCore EFI for Intel Desktops using OCGen X | Hackintosh After applying BIOS changes those are required, I tried to boot with USB drive but I started getting this error - Check attached image: Even USB can't able to boot :( Let me give you system related information that I am using to install Hackintosh. Target OS - Ventura Processor - Intel Core i5 4440 3.2GHz Ram - 12GB DDR3 Ram Graphic Card - NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 Intel Motherboard SSD - SATA SSD 240GB Running OS - Windows 10 These are my current system related information and let me know if you need something more. I have uploaded my EFI partition and other system info too - check attached Zip file. I will reply here asap. Please give me some suggestion to sort out this. Thank you for your given time to this post :) 481456746_EFI_CPUDetails.zip Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/355135-hackintosh-prepared-usb-cant-able-to-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey_S.J. Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Couple of quick suggestions: Disable XhciPortLimit in Kernel section of config.plist (for the time being) Insert the USB flash disk into a black USB 2.0 port (yes, USB 2.0 port) Try booting the macOS installer again Also, if I recall correctly, Ventura does not support Nvidia GT710. The GPU should still operate, but without accelerated graphics. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/355135-hackintosh-prepared-usb-cant-able-to-boot/#findComment-2799196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstTimeCustomac Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Most importantly, MacMini7,1 is not supported in Ventura. Change your system definition to something that's supported in Ventura. After that GT710 and HD4600 can be patched to work in Ventura via OpenCore Legacy patcher. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/355135-hackintosh-prepared-usb-cant-able-to-boot/#findComment-2799218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddharth3322 Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Can you please check this updated EFI folder? EFI Folder Rather than Ventura, for now I decided to move ahead with Mac OS Catalina. I have attached my Intel motherboard info as well.

Fortitude Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Not sure why it's panicking on your end. It would help us all out if you boot into verbose mode and send us a picture of the log. Meanwhile, I did have an issue similar to yours and it was related to the SATA controller. Had to install CtlnaAHCIPort.kext on my system to fix this, but I was installing Big Sur. Perhaps also try SATA-unsupported.kext if the prior one doesn't work.

I have added SATA-unsupported.kext file within EFI folder through config.plist file but nothing change in the result. Next question, how to boot into verbose mode? I can upload image of logs.

You have to configure your bootloader for SMBIOS iMac18,1 at least. Or just use board-id substitution as Clover does.

siddharth3322 Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 Sorry because of different OS names, I was confused. I am trying to install Mac OS Monterey from last 3 days. Today I got huge progress in this process but still I can't able to select SSD as my install drive.

Casey_S.J.

This problem is not about RAM, so you should keep all of the RAM modules installed. The problem is about the USB Install Disk containing Monterey. How did you download the Monterey installer? And what is the total size of the Monterey installer file? If the file size is less than 10 GB, then it is not the full Monterey installer. We need to download the full Monterey installer, which is about 11+ GB file size.

Casey_S.J. Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 The config.plist is still using iMac15,1 along with -no-compact-check boot argument. I've made some changes to EFI folder and switched you to iMac19,1 to see if it will allow you to install Monterey. Try the following: Use attached config.plist (but backup your current version) Use attached SSDT-EC-USBX.aml (it combines EC and USBX) -- copy it to EFI/OC/ACPI folder config.plistSSDT-EC-USBX.aml 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/355135-hackintosh-prepared-usb-cant-able-to-boot/#findComment-2799285 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey_S.J. Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Some notes: Nvidia GT-710 is not supported in Monterey, but drivers can be installed See this video Or this video Sound through the monitor will not work until above driver is installed For WiFi and Bluetooth, which WiFi/BT module are you using? If you're not sure, run Hackintool, select PCIe tab, then click the export icon on the bottom right of that window; and post the file For on-board sound, just check System Preferences --> Sound(both the Input and Output sections) Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/355135-hackintosh-prepared-usb-cant-able-to-boot/#findComment-2799335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddharth3322 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) I have read within the documentation but I am asking for confirmation. So Mac OS Ventura, I can't able to install with Nvidia GT 710 because Open Core does not have support and originally Mac OS does not have support too. If I have any other higher series card then I can able to install Mac OS Ventura within the same system. What is your suggestion? ------------------------------------------------- Regarding above message, I will reply you shortly.

aben Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 To further affirm - Yes, there is no nVidia GPU that is natively supported in macOS Monterey (and Ventura). The only legit project around (leveraging OpenCore's boot capabilities) that aims to restore support for legacy GPUs (that were once supported) in newer macOS versions is OpenCore Legacy Patcher aka OCLP, albeit said project is largely designed to support real Apple Macs and not hackintoshes; success with such tools is sometimes a hit or miss and you lose critical security features like SIP and AMFI. If you're looking for robust GPU performance + proper native support in macOS Ventura (or Monterey), your machine will require a supported AMD GPU as listed above by @Casey_S.J.. Or you could choose to remain on macOS Big Sur for native Kepler support. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/355135-hackintosh-prepared-usb-cant-able-to-boot/#findComment-2799362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
