Hello All, first of all many thanks Macman for this really helpful guide and all the stuff put together so far.
I was wondering if someone could help me as I don't know what I am doing wrong. Right so, I have followed the guide and I installed Catalina 10.15.3 just fine. I have MSI Vega 56 and a Fenvi wifi card.
The problem is that I am stuck at the same spot as
@KTBall1004 meaning the install does all fine and then on the first boot that does the OS setup it gets stuck to the Apple logo at 0%.
I have done all the patches just fine I just don't know what is the problem.
I am suspicious that it is probably the graphics. What I have done so far:
- I have removed all PCI-E devices to boot just in case they were causing conflicts
- Disabled SIP in recovery but still nothing
- Tried to boot using the Vega 56 video card same behavior the only difference is instead of an apple logo I get a white screen with the cursor (hence I think this is video related issue)
Now comparing to the OP I have i7 9700k though I have checked and it has the same Graphics so the drivers and patches should work just fine since I booted and installed. Funny part is that if I will leave it for long then the screen will turn off and if I will move the mouse it will turn on which makes me feel that basic Graphics functionality is all right.
If is not the graphics then there is a chance that this might be related to the fact I formatted my Samsung SSD Evo as APFS?
I am also trying to see if the problem is related to Kext cache (since I get the lilu rebuild message) but I would guess it wouldn't need any kext rebuild on the first startup. So running with the -f boot flag gives me this (image

Will continue trying to fix. If anyone has any tips let me know.
Update - #1: I managed to fix this problem by adding the FakeSMC and various sensors kexts thanks @
MkVIGTI. Though now I have a different problem, I was "smart" enough to paste all the kexts from the EFI folder USB in the extension folders, and my hackintosh now reboots when it tries to load the OS giving me APFS errors.
