Hello
I'm currently using Clover + Catalina 10.15.7 successfully, but I wish to swap Clover for Opencore before upgrading to Big Sur.
The thing is, I've spent hours trying to do it carefully following https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ but no luck so far.
Basically, in order to test it, I've put my OC config to an USB drive to boot from, but whatever I try I cannot see my macOS partition, only EFI partitions.
Here's what the OC picker shows when booting from USB:
1. EFI: SSD EFI partition with Clover => If I pick this one, I get to the Clover menu, but if I start it, it fails, which does not surprise me.
2. EFI: If I pick this one, it shows: "OCB StartImage failed - Already started" for a few seconds, then it returns to the OC picker.
3. Install macOS Catalina: the Catalina image on the USB drive.
4. Old recovery.
5, 6. Clover options.
I would have expected to see my macOS partition like Clover shows it:
Of course, I've reviewed a hundred times my BIOS options, as well as the troubleshooting section of the guide (Can't see macOS partitions).
There's obviously something I don't get ...
My OC config is as follows:
along with my config.plist attached.
If anyboby has the slightest idea of what I'm missing, it will be very welcome.
