Yes - and I like it. I think that the fact that you have to go through and customize the config.plist really helped me better understand the process and how/why it works which means that when it doesn't work, I am better equiped to troubleshoot the issues. Here is the guide I used...

Solved by using boot override in BIOS to cause system to boot from the opencore thumb drive. Then I reformatted the SSD and did a clean install of Catalina 10.15.5. Deleted old Kexts from library on time machine backup (after causing a kernal panic when I tried to use migration assistant to...

Still unable to boot from SSD or USB. Here is the config.plist i'm using. I have made sure that I am using the latest versions of lilu.kext, FakeSMC.kext and whatevergreen.kext. as well as the latest versions of all drivers. Any and all insight is greatly appreciated!

The monitors are connected to the first 2 display ports on the gpu. Bios shows up on the monitor connected to the first DisplayPort, nothing shows on the second monitor. I have the gfx on the motherboard turned off in bios. Also, I should mention that the computer is not trying to boot, after I...

Clover had installed AptioMemoryFix.efi, so I tried the most recent version of that I could find (v27) and I have now tried OSXAptioFixDrv.efi; OSXAptioFix3Drv.efi and OSXAptioFix2Drv-64.efi and none of them work. For all of these drivers, as soon as I select the USB in the Clover Boot Manager...

Thanks for replying! I believe my BIOS settings are all correct - the build used to run Sierra without any issues. How can I check/eliminate potential issues with RAM slots or missing/incorrect memory fix driver?

Also, I created a catalina USB boot drive using the instructions found here and I still get stuck on the black screen when I select the USB as the boot device... I'm stuck.

I've just upgraded to Catalina 10.15.5 and I am stuck on a black screen - no apple logo at startup. It's just black. I've also created a USB startup disk for Catalina using my macbookpro and following the guides here but it won't boot from that either. Here is a pic of what I get when I try...

That worked. Thanks for the help!

Thanks so much! I got it to boot and it says it's running OS 10.12.6 which is confusing because I thought it updated to 10.13.6 when I accidentally failed to skip the automatic update...

I've tried to boot in safe mode and it hangs up about 3/4 through and won't actually boot. How (literally step by step) do I boot with the argument -liluoff?

Thanks. I read that in another thread but I can't figure out how to update the kext. Like I said I cannot get the computer to boot so how do I update the lilu kext? I have looked at some of the guides on here and none of it makes sense to me. I'm at a loss.

So I think I might have bricked my hackintosh. I cannot get it to boot either from the SSD or from a thumb drive. I can get into BIOS and I can get to clover boot manager but I cannot get into the OS at all. Any and all help would be appreciated. This is my first build and it has worked...

This is my first build and I have been unable to boot Sierra from my thumb drive despite following all directions in the install guide on this site for both the USB boot drive config and the BIOS settings. Here are my build specs: Motherboard: GA-Z170X Ultra Gaming Processor: i7 6700k SkyLake...
