I had this kext working fine with Catalina on an Kaby Lake i3/GA-B250N Phoenix Wifi (Intel 8265NGW PCIe card). But a fresh install of Big Sur 10.7.2 results in a failure to load the kext (EFI/EFI/OC/Kexts/itlwm.kext). This was first reported by HeliPort and a little digging suggests it's not...

I have a Big Sur install on an i7 8600 Asrock Z370M-ITX/ac with 16 GB RAM and a 2 TB SATA SSD. The power supply failed and after I replaced it, the computer no longer boots. It gets to the Open Core boot screen, then starts with the Apple and the progress bar, but there is no progress; the bar...

I "upgraded" my M1 Mac mini to Monterey and now neither of my USB3 hubs work (one built in my display, the other a 7-port). This appears to be a common problem, so before moving to Monetery for my desktop hackintosh (8-core i9) can anyone comment on their experiences?

My ASRock Z370M-ITX/a logic board has two ethernet ports, Ethernet (en0) and HiEthernet (en3). These have two different Intel chips, an i219 and an i211AT. I used OpenCore to do the Big Sur 11.4 install and I can boot if I have the RealtekRTL8111.kext in EFI/EFI/OC/Kexts. But of course, the...

I did a Big Sur install on a computer and now a few of my paid apps won't launch because of software serial numbers. I suspect this is because when I generated the new Board-id, SerialNumber, Hardware UUID, BoardSerialNumber with GenSMBIOS it broke the linkage between the software and the...

I'm struggling with how to resize the partition in Big Sur. It is quite different that previous versions of Disk Utility. I cloned a Big Sur installation from a 120 GB SSD to a 2 TB SSD using Cinolink HD133 and the clone boots just fine. Of course, even though it's a 2TB SSD the volume only has...

I've installed Big Sur (OpenCore) for the first time and trying to nail down a few issues. This is the last one, I think. When the computer boots, at the login screen the display goes blank for about 15 seconds, then resumes normal operation. When the display goes to sleep, the screen goes...

I just built a new computer with a Gigabyte B365M DS3H and i5-9400 with 16 GB RAM. I installed Big Sur using OpenCore and updated it to 11.4. All is mostly working well except for a video issue that is not urgent. What is urgent is fixing the USB ports. I started with the New Beginner's Guide to...

I have an i5-9400 Coffee Lake cpu that I'd like to build a hackintosh around, but it seems as the 3xx series boards are really tough to come by. Does anyone know of a compatible MoBo that is readily available that's not too expensive (say, less than US$150)?

I have two 8 GB chips with the following specs: DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Timing 16-18-18-36 CAS Latency 16 Voltage 1.35V I need to add two more 8 GB chips but I am not sure if they need to meet these specifications precisely. It's easy finding DDR4 3200/1.35V chips, but do the timing and CAS...

So, I managed to install Big Sur onto a 250 GB SATA 2.5" SSD just to see if I could do it. I'm surprised at how easy it was. But now, I want to install onto a 2 TB SSD m.2 PCIe card and I've discovered that Carbon Copy Cloner doesn't work. Is there a solution for cloning? I'd rather just clone...

I'm trying to do my first OpenCore installation (with Big Sur) but I'm running into a problem getting the AML files for my USB Big Sur installer thumb drive. From this web link for Desktop Coffee Lake, when I click on each of the 4 AML links...

I had been running Mojave with Clover 5119 just fine (Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X, 6-core i5, RX580, 48 gb RAM). To prepare for Big Sur install, I cloned my SATA SSD m.2 to a PCIe SSD m.2 and moved my EFI folder to the new SSD. The computer booted just fine on the new PCIe SSD so I downloaded and...

I have an i5 Coffee Lake hackintosh and I cannot receive SMS messages in the Message app (green bubbles). iMessages (blue bubbles) work just fine. I have an i7 Coffee Lake hackintosh and it receives SMS messages just fine. So, I'm really confused about what might be the problem that is...

I have a 250 GB SSD boot drive and a 4 TB spinning hard drive with an ASUS ROG Strix Z370-I Gaming. At one time, I booted from the 4 TB HD but no longer. Unfortunately, when I power on the computer, the SSD doesn't show up immediately and so the computer tries to boot from the 4TB HD, which of...

My ASRock Z370M-ITX/a logic board has two ethernet ports, Ethernet (en0) and HiEthernet (en3). The Ethernet port is active but the HiEthernet port does not seem to be active. Is there a way to have both ports active? Is this a driver issue? I'm running Catalina 10.15.6 with the...

Is there a way to get the logic board model number without opening the computer? I have 4 different hackintoshes and I've lost track which is which.

I have two hackintoshes running Mojave. On one, using the Messages app, I get text messages from both iOS/Mac (blue bubbles) and non-iOS/Mac (green bubbles). But on the other hackintosh, I only get iOS/Mac messages (blue bubbles). Any idea what might cause this and what the fix might be?

I just updated my Asrock Z37m-ITXac/Coffee Lake i7/UHD 630 to Catalina and now the display's LED backlights won't shut off. It goes dark, but the LED backlighting on my Philips display stays on. Computer wakes just fine and I did not have this problem with High Sierra so I am confident it is a...

I just updated my Asrock Z37m-ITXac/Coffee Lake i7/UHD 630 to Catalina and now the display won't shut off. It goes dark, but the LED backlighting on my Philips display stays on. Any suggestions as to how to fix this? TIA.
