I have a working Hackintosh running Monterey 12.6.5. I noticed some of my kext files (the common few like Lilu,WhateverGreen, AppleALC) needed updating. I updated, and when I restarted I had no more OC boot menu, just a black screen. I just use the text menu. I know my Monterey is number 7 and...

For some reason I got this great idea to try and install Ubuntu on a temporarily empty drive (internal 250 GB SSD) on my Hackintosh. I DO NOT recall any questions about if or where I might like GRUB to be installed. It installed on my Monterey SSD. I can no longer boot into Monterey. Is there a...

I am still using my EX58 UD3R MB, Xeon 5650 CPU with a AMD Radeon RX 580 GPU to run Monterey. The best current compatibility SMBIOS is iMac 19,1 (Opencore 0.8.7). I am trying to squeeze out the last drop of use from this system which started life in 2010. Looking ahead I've tried to get a...

My system is an old Ex58 ud3r with an Xeon5650 CPU and an Asus Radeon RX580 8GB. I've installed Monterey 12.4 (21F79) booting with Open Core .0.8.1. I am using SMBIOS 18,1 (I know MacPro 6,1 is recommended but I could never get it to function). Everything seems to work fine except sleep and...

I finally got Monterey running on my legacy x58 machine. I'm using an older version of OC (ver. .6.4). There are some small issues I think might possibly be solved with moving to OC .8.1. How does one upgrade a working OC when there is such a big skip in version?

My system is old! Built in 2010, EX58UD3R MB, Xeon 5650 CPU, AsusRX580 GPU. I've finally got Monterey installed using an older version of opencore (0.6.4). The questions follow: 1. Problem is with the menu option boot screen. If I boot from the SSD the keyboard and mouse do not function (USB...

I've tried several times with no success. I think it's related to this from the instructions at github: "To using this program SIP security must be disable csrutil disable csrutil authenticated-root disable (csr-active-config ➤ EF0F0000 Usage Clover csrutil authenticated-root disable...

I'm currently able to run Catalina on this aging Legacy system (which is still plenty snappy) using Clover. I wonder if anyone has managed to get Big Sur up and running on one of these older LGA 1366 socket x58 chipset systems? My system is the GA EX58 UD3R as indicated in signature.

Question is relative to my legacy EX58-UD3R with a Xeon 5650 rig. My best SMBIOS has always been MacPro 5,1. That was deemed unsupported in Catalina. I installed Catalina using Clover by switching to iMac14,2 SMBIOS. It works but does not function as well as MacPro 5,1 did. Especially in that...

So this worked up until 10.15.4 upgrade I think. I've got Catalina installed on this old legacy system. I can boot with Sys def of either MacPro 5,1 or imac 14,2 but neither of these allow me to connect to the internet. The machine is hard wired to ethernet and both system deffinitions used to...

This is a small yet annoying issue I think can be fixed. See the log image and note the highlighted text. It describes the problem. Basically when the clover boot screen first appears it is in 1024x768 ratio. It should be 1920x1080. It corrects during the last stage of the boot process and is...

My system has happily been posing as a MacPro 5,1 up to and including an almost perfect MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. Here comes Catalina and it's apparently a no go! What is the next best SMBIOS to use given my stats: Legacy Gigabyte GA EX58 UD3R, Xeon 5650(4Ghz), Nvidia 760 GTX (Native support). I...

Officially my EX58 ud3r with MacPro 5,1 SMBIOS is apparently no longer supported for Catalina. Mojave works great for me but I was wondering if anyone has come up with a method for installing Catalina on this hack. I know Dosdude has a patch for real Macs but I have seeen nothing regarding a...

I have tried every possible attempt I can think of and still remain unable to run the most recent update to High Sierra. I am stuck at 10.13.6 (17G5019). I even tried to make a new Unibeast installer and it just doesn't work. I was able to create an installer for Mojave (just trying it to see)...

I have an older hackintosh. It's a legacy machine (no uefi). My Clover menu used to be a well defined clear 1920 x 1080 and the Apple boot logo use to appear in it's proper 'unstretched' size immediately upon boot. Somewhere between Sierra & High Sierra that changed and now the Clover menu is...

Clover boot screen used to be properly sized (1080x1920). But since recreating Clover after my boot SSD died, I am stuck with this annoying giant icon boot screen and also the old stretched apple logo. The stretched logo changes to correct size on stage 2 of the boot process. This is minor but...

Two related questions: How do we get around that firmware requirement to install Mojave? How does one generate a 2012 (instead of 2010) Mac Pro 5,1 SIMBIOS? I have been using a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 SIMBIOS since building my system in 2010. It has been rock solid for the most part and updates have...

I had to replace my faulty GA Z77 DS3H MB with a GA Z77x UD5H (rev 1.0). The new board posts (as much as I've tried thus far) but I noticed it was at BIOS version F4. That must be the first version. I want to get this rig from El Capitan (which is where it was when the old board went boot loopy)...

Need help fixing incorrect memory display in Sys Profiler (using CLOVER) After upgrading to 10.10.5 my system profiler incorrectly reports that I have 4 slots with 4GB in 2 and the other 2 are empty. I actually have 4 slots and 4 GB sticks in each slot for 16 GB total. It also shows 1333 Mhz...

This system is i5 3570k CPU, Gigabyte GA DS3H rev1.1 F9 Motherboard. I installed Clover but had some issues I was unable to resolve so I'm back now booting with Chimera. I've reformatted the clover EFI, but there is a "Clover" remnant in my BIOS screen under "Boot Options". It says something...
