David Guy Posted January 18, 2025 Share Posted January 18, 2025 Hello everyone, I'm trying to finish up a opencore install of Monterey. I have got almost there I have been using the opencore guide to follow I have a old Dell d830 laptop I have been trying to get this going for a couple of months now but im having some trouble figuring out why it's not restarting correctly I get to the point in the install where the computer needs to restart and then it hangs it will however shut down properly. There is a restart fix on the guide but it says it's for when the computer restarts instead of shutdown my problem is it will shutdown but not restart at all. So long story short I was wondering if someone can take a look at my ssdts and my config.plist and see if there's anything I have done wrong. My computers specs are motherboard dell d830 and the graphics are the Nvidia 135m and right now I don't have a internal wifi yet because I have a usb adapter for wifi. I have 8 gigs of ram and the t9500 cpu 2.6ghz dual core I will attach the file for all my specs and my efi folder oh and I have a 500gb ssd drive. Well I just realized that I can't do the whole folder so I put the cofig and dsdt and other ssdt files. I will see if I can add a link to my full efi if you all would like to take a look but I think my only problem is the restarting thx for any help. I really really would appreciate it. Sorry this is so long config.plist DSDT.aml SSDT-EC-USBX.aml SSDT-USBX.aml SSDT-EC.aml SSDT-HPET.aml Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/360525-need-some-help-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Guy Posted January 19, 2025 Author Share Posted January 19, 2025 This is a link to my EFI folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-2dHp9p2ZBYdQVKcMrfw_Ee0f71nV7GM for some reason it removed my audiodxe.efi due to malware potential but it's the one from opencore so it should.be safe Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/360525-need-some-help-please/#findComment-2829740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cankiulascmnfye Posted January 19, 2025 Share Posted January 19, 2025 (edited) @David Guy Try OpCore Simplfy in Windows to generate a config and OC EFI folder. Nevermind this won't work –your CPU is too old.

David Guy Posted January 19, 2025 Author Share Posted January 19, 2025 Yeah I did try that but thanks for the reply. I have just about got it running the installer boots up and runs all the way until it needs to restart and then hangs.

David Guy Posted January 25, 2025 Author Share Posted January 25, 2025 Does anyone have a minute to look just at this config.plist file It is going all the way now and finished installing but it's immediately going into a locked state after I start it up on the hi screen I think that maybe I have something wrong in the sip not being disabled or something Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/360525-need-some-help-please/#findComment-2829909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
