Thanks folks, Feartech, Here is the EFI. Many thanks OutAndGone

Sorry, it's taken me so long to get back, but the following info is/was apparently eligible for machine. OSX Ventura 13.5 OpenCore 0.9.4 Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Elite AC Intel Core i9-10850K XFX Radeon RX580 SMBIOS: iMac20,2 How could it be eligible and then, not? Could a crash cause this? Thanks...

Thanks. This is what I found... A prohibitory symbol, which looks like a circle with a line or slash through it, means that your startup disk contains a Mac operating system, but it's not a version or build of macOS that your Mac can use. follow this step to fix your problem: 1-Press and...

I’m a semi-experienced Hackintosh tinkerer, but not very experienced. I know enough to know that I know nothing. I got some help from Pilgrim just a few days ago. Well...I recently had a bad turn on my current Hack adventure. I was upgrading a z97 Gigabyte - Big Sur machine into my latest plan...

Many thanks for the swift response. In System Information - Under BSD Device Name - I have en0, but not both en0 & BuiltIn Will I find the correct instructions to remedy this in OpenCore Post-Install/Fixing iServices/Fixing en0...

Greetings, I am upgrading my previous hack to the following... OSX Ventura 13.5 OpenCore 0.9.4 Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Elite AC Intel Core i9-10850K XFX Radeon RX580 Everything has gone relatively fine until I hit the Ethernet wall. No internet. No WIFI. No Bluetooth. I did some searching and...

Greetings folks, I have a question. I vaguely recall reading something about Big Sur, USB and avoiding system updates. I am currently on Big Sur - 11.5.1 and I'd like to know if there are reasons why I shouldn't use Software Update to update to the latest iteration of Big Sur? Many thanks. Out

Many thanks!!! OutAndGone

Greetings, I'm back facing some continuing problems with the HP 8300 that I recently posted about. Stopping on boot up at Apple again. (I'm using the video - Install Big Sur on the HP 8300 Elite by Mac OS X Videos at Youtube as a guide) I have feeling it may be something to do with the Boot...

Many thanks. I slowed down and reviewed the video a couple times. Then I started all over again. Looks good so far. Need some sleep now though. Thanks again.

Thanks. At start up after HP bios version appears and before the apple symbol would show up, I get black screen/white type - error scroll, where it stops. Says… OCS: HD schema - various issues listed here. OCS: Failed to calculate size… OCS: Driver at 0 can’t be found. Halting on critical...

Greetings folks, I’ve followed the Mac OS X Videos’ - Install Big Sur on the HP 8300 Elite videos and successfully set up a working hack. While trying to setup the wifi, I used the wrong iteration of Open Core Configurator and destroyed my work. What are my next steps to recover/save this...

Just a big thanks and a follow up to my last challenge. Looks like all I needed was to move the SATA cables to SATA Xpress ports. Apparently I originally had them plugged into the Marvell ports and didn't have Marvell engaged in the BIOS. That change made my day and I could get to work. Many...

Hi folks, Thanks for all of the insights shared on this journey. Things have gone pretty good thus far with this hack project. Reading, then re-reading, then, scanning the instructions again, REALLY helps. The devil is in the details... for sure. It seems as if I have the machine up and...

Many thanks once again @trs96 I saw a note somewhere similar in my searching, but it was very specific to the author's question, so I didn't think it would apply to me. I also wasn't sure where the source of the problem was. Man, it really takes a village to raise a child. I think I've got...

Hi folks, I'm baaaack!!! Working on my hack and actually enjoying the challenge. I'm more comfortable that I have ever been doing this stuff. Less sweat and more reading. Amyways, I ran into a wall, that I'm not sure how to solve... ******************************************************...

Thanks Again!!! I will definitely use it. Hahaha!!! Truly appreciate these golden nuggets of experience and wisdom. Again, many, many thanks!!!

Thanks trs96!!!! Yes. I have been studying the OC website. Reading everything over and over as they suggest. I also have been looking at a number of OC-based hackintosh videos that go over the process, so that I can actually see it with my eyes as well. Another stupid question is whether...

Hi folks, Many thanks for all the help you've given thus far. I'm trying to form these new questions so that it makes some sense here. But simply put, I'm at a crossroads and I probably shouldn't be at this crossroads. But, I'm naturally over-cautious and I'm also a bit confused as to how to...

One more question folks: In terms of updating to Monterey or Big Sur, what happens with the Yosemite serial number, Hardware UUID and such? Do I just forget those and use the new info from the new OC process? ...or am I recycling that info? Many thanks in advance.
