In October of last year I built a Hackintosh for a friend of mine. It took some trial and error, but It was an enjoyable process.
Everything has been working great, even sleep/wake which I heard many people have had issues with.
A few days ago my friend tells me that the Hackintosh went to sleep, and after a while he had noticed it was off. He then tried to describe the issue, but he is definitely not a technically capable person at this level.
The next day I went to look at it and it appears it is having a kernel panic because of the lilu kext.
I have tried
booting in safe mode
booting with lilu disabled
booting to the recovery partition
booting to the original clover usb I used to intstall
Disabling everything possible
and every combination of those things together
If I don't change anything it just boot-loops. If I use any of the methods above everything seems to work fine for a few seconds. The apple logo comes on screen, then the loading bar starts to fill. It gets really slow in the last quarter, and then my screen says there is no input signal. I get the same results with every method.
I thought maybe it was working on something that I couldn't see, so I tried booting via safe mode into the recovery and left it on all night. Came back and nothing had changed... power on, no hdd light activity, no input detected.
I really don't know what to do here, especially since I cant even get into a USB drive. I am beginning to think maybe this is hardware failure. Maybe RAM? I am planning on trying another OS via USB boot to see if i can get in some way.
I will keep the thread updated as I try some new things.
