Sonoma on Ivy Bridge

[67BGTEV]

I've a HP Elite 8300MT and until yesterday, it was running Big Sur on OC 0.6.6 as iMacPro1.1.

I upgraded it to OC 0.9.5 and booted up fine with Big Sur. Then downloaded Sonoma, started the installation and it went through several reboots and what seem like completed the installation. When it was ready to book up first time, it failed and looping through with restart. I'm able to boot up to recovery mode, mount EFI through terminal and can edit the Config.plist.

Any guidance on how to proceed with fixing this issue?

The settings will vary depending on the GPU you are using, please refer to my post.

If there is a picture or video of "it failed and looping through with restar" more could help determine relevant factors for adjustment.

Hi, maybe I will run mem-test or check the storage like ssd or hd first.

At the moment, I feel that the HP6300SFF is a little slow, but it is working without any problems.

1. I noticed an issue with Safari when his RAM was 8GB, but there were no problems with other models, so I increased the RAM to 16GB.
2.OCLP 1.4.3 requires Opencore 0.9.9.
3.Kernel/Patch Fix PCI bus enumeration is different between Venture and Sonama.

Thanks for the input, I have upgraded opencore to 0.9.9
seams stable but laggy, will see how it goes
Thanks a lot for help

Hi Asural, the machine is stable. I believe the issue was opencore 0.9.2. Once updated to 0.9.9 -> stable.
The only issue is the slowness of the machine. did it improve after upgrading memory to 16GB? I have 8GB [2x4GB modules]
Considering very likely it is going to be the last macOS update for the machine, I did not want to spend money on RAM if it is still slow after upgrading to 16GB. [Mine is USDT, max memory is 16GB]
