Thinkstation P310 Help

I have a Thinkstation p310 that I'm attempting to boot macOS Catalina on. I would like to install macOS Catalina and upgrade to macOS Sonoma later.



I don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong, I've been reading the docs from the opencore page and everything seems fine to me.



My hardware is a thinkstation p310 with a skylake xeon, an amd firepro w7000 and 16gb of ddr4 2133mhz ram.



I'll also include a link to my current opencore configuration as it is if anyone here who's more experienced wants to take a look. https://github.com/R3verseG0d/p310opencore/tree/main

Your graphics card is based on the Pitcairn architecture, which was before the Polaris cards (RX 460 / RX 470 / RX 480 / RX 560 / RX 570 / RX 580). As far as I know, it is NOT supported on MacOS Sonoma.

It should be supported on MacOS Catalina up to MacOS Monterey though.

Thank you! I learned that the hard way when I installed Sonoma, so I'm on Monterey now.

Also appears I was missing opencannopy.efi which I learned when I grabbed a prebuilt oc for this machine.

I'm liking it tho. A couple of weird bugs tho. One is that when I have my speakers plugged into the rear port, they don't get detected (3.5mm) but they do from the front. Some USB ports work in certain configurations and others don't, so I had to play shuffling games with my rear io to get either my USB mic to work or my mouse but I was able to resolve that. My Dev monitor (the static one) just is useless in macOS. I also have the memory error bug from having this smbios but I don't care enough to fix it.

Important Update: June 2023 From Big Sur 11.3 on the built-in OpenCore XhciPortLimit quirk no-longer worked as described. This became a known "bug", though in reality it was Apple changing their internal code, making a simple "peek and poke" to keep it operating, a difficult task. However, with...
