altkernel Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Hi, I've been trying to get MacOS installed onto an Asus Pn64 using OpenCore. Asus PN64: https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/mini-pcs/pn-series/asus-expertcenter-pn64/ 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13500H Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-V (rev 03) Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz (rev 1a) 32GB RAM I am able to select the Monterey installer from the OpenCore menu but it quickly ends up stopping at: [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] I have redone the config.plist a few times but as I am new to this I am sure I've made some mistakes in there. I recently opened it with OCAuxiliaryTools (https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools) and that caught a few missing things but I still can't get the installer to run. Is the problem simply that this configuration isn't supported? I've attached the log and an screenshot of the EFI files/directories. Reference: https://chriswayg.gitbook.io/opencore-visual-beginners-guide/advanced-topics/using-alder-lake https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/comet-lake.html https://github.com/luchina-gabriel/BASE-EFI-INTEL-DESKTOP-13THGEN-RAPTOR-LAKE Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

naiclub Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 You try reading this. Your graphics card is not supported. You could try letting -igfxvesa boot. https://dortania.github.io/GPU-Buyers-Guide/misc/bootflag.html#amd-boot-arguments Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/357742-opencore-monterey-asus-pn64-i5-13500h-raptor-lake/#findComment-2811800 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberdevs Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 In that case try this: Make sure CFGLock is disabled in BIOS if there's an option for it. config.plist Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/357742-opencore-monterey-asus-pn64-i5-13500h-raptor-lake/#findComment-2812241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
altkernel Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) @Cyberdevs thank you for continuing to help me with this. I haven't had much luck disabling CFGLock using the methods explained here - https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/misc/msr-lock.html#checking-if-your-firmware-supports-cfg-lock-unlocking grub> setup_var_cv CpuSetup 0x43 0x01 0x00 Looking for CpuSetup variable... var name: CpuSetup, var size: 18, var guid: b08797ff-e6e8-4193 - a9-97-5-9-9b-Ba-db-32 - GUID does not match expected GUID, taking it nevertheless. expected a different size of the Setup variable (got 967 (0x3c7) bytes). Continue with care... successfully obtained "CpuSetup" variable from VSS (got 967 (0x3c7) bytes). offset 0x43 is: 0x01 setting offset 0x43 to 0x00 error: can't set variable using efi. (error: 0x8000000000000008). Do you know if there is any way to overcome this?

As mentioned in the above guide, you need to have macOS installed to be able to follow that guide but the link I've sent you explains which section of the kernel Quriks are required to disable the CFGLock using OpenCore. The most important thing is that your iGPU isn't supported by any version of macOS so there is no point of installing macOS on your PC. I'm sorry but even if you manage to get the macOS to boot you won't have GPU acceleration which renders your hackintosh useless.
