First thing to try is changing the Misc/SecureBootModel setting in your config.plist to "Disabled".

I was also advised of the following by someone in another forum, but I am having trouble understanding how to correct the errors this person is referring to - maybe you have some insights on what the following means? Thanks.

Well it isn't our job to help explain your discussion with someone else on a different site. That's their job.

I can tell you that the errors you show in your screengrab are caused by the version of OpenCore you are using not matching the format of the config.plist. This can happen if you use the OpenCore Configurator app designed for an earlier version of OpenCore, with a later one. Often changes to the file structure are made as OpenCore is still in beta. The Sample plist in the OC release package highlights any new changes.

As they explained, you run the ocvalidate.app to check your work. To do this you drag the ocvalidate.app from the Utilties folder in the OC release package, into a Terminal window, then follow this with your config.plist file. Press Enter and it will be checked for accuracy.

The errors you see are telling you exactly where the problems are. Correct these and check again.

I am having trouble correcting the errors that came up when I ran ocvalidate as you advised. I am showing 8 errors in total:


OCS: Missing key CustomPciSerialDevice, context <Quirks>!


OCS: Missing key ForceAquantiaEthernet, context <Quirks>!


OCS: No schema for SerialInit at 6 index, context <Debug>!


OCS: No schema for AllowNvramReset at 0 index, context <Security>!


OCS: No schema for AllowToggleSip at 2 index, context <Security>!


OCS: Missing key FullNvramAccess, context <Tools>!


OCS: Missing key Serial, context <Misc>!


OCS: No schema for LegacyEnable at 2 index, context <NVRAM>!




Starting with the first error:
OCS: Missing key CustomPciSerialDevice, context <Quirks>!

I checked every "quirks" folder in the .plist file but I am not able to find CustomPciSerialDevice nor am I able to find how or where to add it.
Advice much appreciated! Thanks.

you need to then check with the sample.plist from opencore with yours and make the needed changes/amendments etc
