Hello
So I encountered very strange problem. I haven't using my Hackintosh laptop for a long time almost half of a year and when I want to boot it, it doesn't work.
Using -v I managed to read it's stuck at:
Code:
reloc block: yes hibernate wake: no

I remembered that I had trouble booting with charger so I tried without it, but I wasn't successful. I tried many different variations but always the same effect.

What happened since I last used hackintosh was huge Windows 10 update which broke Clover, but I managed to restore it just by making new boot option in UEFI by adding path to clover main .efi file.

So I thought maybe my system broke, so I created whole installation disk like I did before but it's stuck at the same line.
Then I created disk with new Clover version, new kexts version, still nothing.

I tried BIOS upgrade then BIOS downgrade, still won't work.

Is there any way to debug it more? To maybe print a little more details?

I have added in attachments my Clover folder which was working half a year ago.

Try booting from an external USB to get to the Installer using your EFI

I created multiple install disks with new kext and new clover also but some with the old ones, and they have still same issues. Can you answer me:

1. Is it possible to have extended debug to determine where it hangs up?
I am programmer and I think that I may eventually just try to look up why it hangs up.
I may be wrong but I feel confident enough to look at source code of this.

2. If my first question answer will be No then please tell me what I can try to minimize variables.
I mean I can try to change anything like for example:
a) EmuVariable.efi + OsxAptioFix
b) EmuVariable.efi + AptioMemoryFix
c) OsxAptioFix without EmuVariable
etc.
But it would take forever...

3. I need to find a valuable reason to make changes in my disk creation process.
To make it more efficient, because I guess making same installation disk over and over again won't make it work...

Because I don't want to bother anyone with stupid questions, I can read long articles and other resources but I want to understand what is happening and why it doesn't work.
Just like in programming I must know how a function work before use even if it's name "resizeImage".

So I really really appreciate your help and you guys all doing great job with running this community.
But I need to dig even further and know more even if it will be tons of pages to read.

I hope you understand me better now and will help me.

EDIT1: Maybe is there a way to determine whether is my NVRAM working or not?
