Good to hear! I do love Hackintosh, but the pain of upgrades has cost me many man-hours over the years. That's why I've never quite trusted them enough to use the release OpenCore/Clover files, for example (although I will give that a go). Sounds like you've had smoother experiences than me...

Testing again today, and I'm now getting the boot picker screen a lot quicker that I was previously. I've no idea what I've changed, if anything. It's still not as fast a my Monterey drive, but it's now averaging about 10-15 seconds (as opposed to over a minute), and on one occasion, it...

The target is 67, and yes, I'm using all debug Opencore files. I understand that they will always be slower than the release versions. But the same is the case for my Monterey drive, and it's never displayed this kind of slowness. Ditto for Big Sur, Catalina that I had previous to those.

Thanks again, and good find. Is the kext still needed for anything though? I removed it from my build and my USB ports still worked. I will try adding this new version and see if it fixes my slow menu issue.

Changing Misc->Debug->DisplayLevel from 2147483650 to 2147483714 gets me a lot more debugging on screen, which makes startup even slower, of course. (I still get mostly zero bytes opencore-YYYY-MM-DD-hhmmss.txt log files saved to the boot EFI partition though. :think:) As I was eyeballing the...

Step 1 on the first page of the Guide thread says to install USBInjectAll.kext. This kext hasn't been updated in 4 years, see their repo here https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-USB-Inject-All. Dortania says not to use that kext any more because it's no longer being maintained. Are they wrong...

The guide to which you've linked is a thread of 154 pages. Its first page says to use USBInjectAll.kext, which is no longer maintained, I believe. I followed the USB guide on the Dortania site, and as per their advice, mapped my ports with USBToolBox. So the guide that I followed was actually...

I've remapped my USB ports with USBToolbox and updated the config. It hasn't helped, sadly :cry:. Time to get to the drive picker menu can take well over a minute, although at other times it's probably about half that. Definitely feels like it's trying to query something or other, but I...

Actually the slow time to menu has now returned, although it's not as slow as before. I think I probably need to redo my USB drives. I last did this for Big Sur, I think, and it still had USBInjectAll in the mix. I removed the latter, but I didn't redo the USB drives scan, which I probably...

Seems to be okay now. I changed two BIOS settings: EHCI/XHCI Hand-off from "disabled" to "enabled". (I'm sure I had this enabled originally, but it may have reset itself). Disabled the internal graphics, which was set to "Auto". Not sure which of these fixed it, if either of them did!

Ventura on OpenCore 0.8.6 is running fine until I shut down from the Apple menu. After that the PC won't reboot at all; I mean not even to the BIOS loading screen! :eek: If I power off via the switch at the back of the PC and wait 5 minutes or so, then I can eventually get to the BIOS boot...

Thanks for the responses, guys. Neither drive is Samsung. Ventura is on Kingston SA400S37240GMedia. Monterey is on Western Digital WDC WDS500G2BOA-00SM50. I’m pretty sure trim settings are disabled. I’ll recheck that though. Update Confirmed that trim is disabled on both drives. In the...

I have a working OpenCore 0.8.6 EFI that boots to Ventura. But after the initial OpenCore load text, I have a long wait - like well over a minute - before OpenCore's drive picker menu comes up. There's nothing on screen during this long pause; it's totally blank, which led me to think that...

I got this exact problem installing Ventura, direct update from Big Sur. It's when I try to run the MacOS Installer entry the gets added after the first part of the Ventura Installer has done its thing. Same IOHIDEventDriver "red herring" message at the end. Same "CHECKPOINT MONITOR...

Is it possible to go straight to Ventura from Big Sur? Or do I need to go Monterey first? Update To partially answer my own question. I've just updated my hackintosh to the latest Big Sur update, which is 11.7.1. And now my Software Update tool is showing "Update to Ventura" rather than...

I'm getting the ALUC:clientDied loop on my new Monterey install. Same pattern as the original poster's: The drive is a Western Digital WDS500G2B0A, which is not an NVME device, so I'm not sure it's the Trim issue. The Mac System Report shows that it's not enabled for Trim, in fact. None of...

Confirmed that this is an issue with M1 Macs and formatting and/or installing to Mac OS on external drives over USB. So I dug my 2014 Intel Macbook Pro out of the drawer and did it on that. It worked first time! I even set up an account on it. I then plugged the drive back into the host PC...

I tried the external method from my real Macbook Pro. The Big Sur Installer complains that there's some firmware partition missing from the target drive. My real Mac is an M1. I don't know if that's anything to do with it.

I just had the "Couldn't create USB" error when trying install Mojave Unibeast from an M1 Big Sur Macbook. The solution was to disable SIP. SIP is a Catalina or higher feature only, I think. You need to boot to macOS Recovery Mode to disable it, and please note that the process for doing...

agrafuese's solution worked for me to get rid of a failed Mojave update install. I wasn't able to cd into the relevant folder (permissions error) at first. I got around that by switching to SuperUser first with an sudo -s command. I don't know if that gets you around any SIP issues or maybe I...
