SevenTheAppleKitty Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 not entirely sure this is the right forum section, but everyone else seems to be using it for troubleshooting. I'm trying to install MacOS (don't actually remember exactly what I downloaded from macrecovery, but i think it was tahoe) using opencore with dortania's guide, comet lake machine (Celeron G5905, 12GB RAM, GTX 1050 Ti, RTL8111, Installing to a SATA SSD) EFI and last log file attached EFI.zip opencore-2026-03-10-024623.txt 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362496-stuck-on-watchdog-status-is-0-on-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max.1974 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Maybe the issue is your GTX 1050 Ti. Pascal Nvidia GPUs are not supported in macOS Tahoe. You should disable it and use the Comet Lake iGPU instead.

Либо система с трудом загружает macOS, либо пытается загрузить мой Linux Mint с диска. Most likely, the HsfPlusLegacy.efi driver was not registered in the config, instead of HsfPlus.efi 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362496-stuck-on-watchdog-status-is-0-on-boot/#findComment-2848077 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impression is that you are using Windows and macOS as a secondary partition, and you left the EFI that Windows created in the ESP (Windows ESP) instead of the macOS ESP or the native EFI partition. Format the entire disk. Post here a report from AIDA64 or Hardware Sniffer (OpenCore Simplify) so we can try to create your basic EFI.
