The kernel panic screenshot you posted says that your Data disk could not be mounted. So unfortunately it may be corrupted. Did you make a backup?

There was nothing valuable on the drive which worths backing up. I just wanted to understand why did it happen. Because there was no reason. Now i'm trying to format it but it tooks ages to do that and eventually it failed. I'm worrying about getting a dead SSD. I had enabled TRIM on this one 10 day ago, could TRIM be a cause?

What is the make/model of the SSD?

Most NVMe SSDs (except Samsung, I believe) will have TRIM enabled by default.

Actually im using Samsung X5 Thunderbolt external SSD as my main hackintosh drive but i use it only when i reach a fully functional system. I make my tries on a KINGSTON SHFS37A240G; this has issues for now.

EDIT: I formatted both of SSDs. Both works now. Now things that needs to be done:
1- Is fully functional sleeping possible?
2- Can I have hiDPi scaled resolution?
3- Gonna try intel wifi.

EDIT2: My HDMI looks like connected to port 0x7 is that normal? I'm using your EFI so it should have 0x4 right? Please check screenshot.

EDIT3: I tried intel wifi by putting itwlm.kext to EFI/OC/Kexts and enabling it on OpenCore Kernel section. But when booted Helliport says itwlm is not loaded.

@CaseySJ Hello..
I'm using open core, it's very good.
Is it possible to hide the initial 'openshell.efi' icon from the initial boot?
Thank you.

Of course you can!
Download macOS Catalina 10.15.6
Follow this apple page to create a bootable USB installer for Catalina
Download the attached EFI folder created by Casey
Customize your config.plist (from downloaded EFI folder) as you need (follow the guide, everything is well explained)
Mount EFI partition of your Catalina USB installer
Copy and past downloaded EFI folder with your custom config.plist inside the EFI partition of your Catalina USB installer
Boot your PC from Catalina USB installer
Install Catalina

Thank you so much for your detail instructions, let me get started.

Everyone has different components in their system so we make no general promises. But on all of my systems, sleep works well. The system may perform periodic maintenance wakes. There is a Sleep Aid in the Quick Reference spoiler in Post 1 for further troubleshooting.

2- Can I have hiDPi scaled resolution?

Many of us are using 4K monitors with no issues.

3- Gonna try intel wifi.

EDIT2: My HDMI looks like connected to port 0x7 is that normal? I'm using your EFI so it should have 0x4 right? Please check screenshot.

Index 3 (Port 7) is HDMI. Bus ID is 4. I don't see any issue. If HDMI output works, then nothing to worry about.

EDIT3: I tried intel wifi by putting itwlm.kext to EFI/OC/Kexts and enabling it on OpenCore Kernel section. But when booted Helliport says itwlm is not loaded.

Simply disable the SSDT indicated in the screenshot and reboot:

I got stop sign right after selecting Install macOS Catalina icon from OpenCore, do I miss anything? Thanks for your help in advance.

I no longer have the monitor so I can't verify for you, sorry.

Hey, do you mind sharing if you're able to run your 49" monitor in native resolution (5120x1440 HiDPI)? I'm using Samsung CRG9 with the same resolution, I connected it to Vega 56 card via DP but the real max resolution I could get is 3840x1080 though the system setting shows that I'm running 5120x1440. The texts are not crisp enough and I'm sure it's 1080p.

However, if I choose the default resolution (2560x720) I was able to get the real HiDPI view. Do you have any idea?
