Has anyone succeeded installing Big Sur with this CPU that lacks the iGPU using either Clover or Big Sur? I have had success with Open Core on prior generation Intel with iGPU and even Ryzen (no GPU) but I can not get OC 6.6 to boot. The config.p passes the sanity check and I have tried multiple...

After a really and truly dumb self inflicted disaster I restored from a Clone and copied my backup copy of my EFI to the EFI partition of the Catalina boot SSD. Everything works again as it should except that Catalina (10.15.6) always boots in verbose mode. There is not and has never been a -v...

I have used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my Catalina installation to a larger SSD. I have copied the EFI partition in a variety of ways but nothing gets the clone to boot on its own either via USB or SATA. No matter how I install or copy the EFI partition from the original to the clone it boots...

I am trying to update to Catalina from a clone of Mojave. I posted a picture from verbose mode of where the process stops. In non-verbose mode the progress bar slowly and completely fills but does not ever reboot; I also do not see any flashing of the disc activity light. I also could not get...

I am running the final beta 10.15 (19A487m) which does not give the option for the Catalina supplemental update. Apart from sidecar everything works the way I need it to work, including messaging. I have the iGPU activated (the Intel and AMD GPUs are both listed in system report), 18,1 system id...

Every installation USB key I make for Catalina is invisible to the UEFI. I have tried different brands of USB keys all of which worked with other versions of OSX. Every other bootable USB key, USB based SSD (e.g. my Mojave backup), Windows installation USB etc shows up as bootable in the...

I am unable to update to 10.14.6. The update initiates the install and reboots the computer. Whether I choose the default option, Preboot or Install Mac OS the same thing happens--the progress bar completes and the computer screen goes black. This is a Dell monitor and the warning "Enter Power...

When I apply the 14.5 update the computer reboots and the installer resumes but freezes on a screen showing 27 minutes left in the install. I have let it sit for a few hours but nothing changes. Prior to the install I updated to the latest version of clover. If I boot into Mojave everything...

I changed my GPU to a GB Radeon RX 580. The AMD drivers are pretty awful in Win 10 with erratic mouse and cursors, something that should be basic, cited as a known issue in the fine print accompanying the drivers on the AMD web site. Placing a cursor inside a word makes you feel like a reeling...

This has been a stably booting High Sierra Hackintosh essentially forever with everything working until the Windows side bit the dust. Reinstalling Windows on a Western Digital Black NVME drive initially failed but restoring from a recent system image has worked fine. Unfortunately I can no...

I have been using nVidia graphics cards with Photoshop and hackintoshes since Snow Leopard, currently a 970 all updated to the latest/greatest version of High Sierra. In my experience there has been a gradual deterioration of stability with successive versions of OSX and the nVidia driver when...

Updating directly from Sierra to High Sierra failed catastrophically, probably my fault. I could only restore Sierra by wiping the SSD with Diskpart /clean (I know those commands better than OSX iterations). I finally succeeded installing a new version of High Sierra on a completely blank SSD...

Long but bear with me please: I had issues I thought I had resolved after a BIOS update which fixed problems on the Windows side. I could not get audio working after the BIOS update but I have a USB adapter which worked fine. As of yesterday I can not boot into Sierra which is installed on both...

I have had a stable and stably updating configuration with Sierra. However today I had to temporarily remove the Sierra drive from this dual boot (win 10) machine and update BIOS to the latest version for an ASUS Maximus VIII mobo because of serious issues on the Windows side, now solved. I have...

I see 63 pages and counting about problems with the former and zero comments so far about the latter. I will simply say the direct update method failed for me, not looking for advice. Anyone have success updating via the new Unibeast? It took a long time to smooth out the details for El Cap on...

It is not clear to me from the announcement page: does Unibeast now support Skylake without having to patch the configp and add kexts?

I have been using Yosemite/Chimera for years on a Sandy Bridge machine but I missed not being able to use OS X on my spiffy new Skylake machine. Asus Maximus VIII/i7/Nvidia 970/16 gb ram. After many attempts I finally have El Cap working following the basic Skylake guides with amended...

I give up, for now. I have tried using the methods and posted configp lists generously provided by others who have had successful installations with the same motherboard I have. Since I have other OSX options this represents more of an obsession than an actual need although when I have free time...

This machine has stably booted into Yosemite (and all prior iterations of OS X) and Windows for years. I have changed/installed nothing and now am getting kernel panics every time I boot. Initially I could boot with a -x flag and reran Multibeast with appropriate settings (Gigabyte/Ivy Bridge...

I have been using Multibeast successfully for several years and am grateful/in awe of those who create and maintain these tools. Sadly the newest version will absolutely not configure Networking in Maverick or Yosemite on a Gigabyte Z77 UDH5 motherboard. I have tried every setting and...
