OpenCore Progress bar stuck at apple logo

[Dakcledumm]

OK. So: I changed my OS to High Sierra and booted with my GTX 1070 and the bar is still stuck, but it got a little further. Gonna wait.

Now it went half way trough on third second boot with GTX 1070

Okay.

What we don't know is how you created that USB installer and which bootloader - Clover or OpenCore - you are using.

Hi,
So this is my first time hackintoshing so please keep that in mind. So: My hackintosh is stuck at the apple logo. It’s the first boot (the boot into the recovery environment) and I’m using OpenCore. At first it started just fine, it displayed all the text and showed the apple logo and the progress bar. I could move the cursor too, but suddenly it just froze and the progress bar didn’t move anymore and I couldn’t move the cursor. Can anyone help me?

I've rebooted 50+ times now, I guess I'll give up...

Up to you.

However with the hardware you have, which is perfectly hackintosh material, just follow our High Sierra installation guide using Clover. When done install the NVidia WebDrivers relevant to your HS build-number. Done.

But your choice.

Ok. I’ll give it a try, but I’ve had enough for today.

I can help. I have High Sierra installed and it is booting with my GTX1060 on my i9 11900K setup.

You will however have to add this under the Kernel CPUID sections because you are using Kaby Lake:
CPUID1Data

E9060900 00000000 00000000 00000000

CPUID1Mask

FFFFFFFF 00000000 00000000 00000000

You will also need to change your SMBIOS to something like iMac19,2.

Thank you for your reply! I’m using Coffee Lake actually.
