Hi all,
I have just upgraded the hardware on my old GA-x99-UD4 Core i7 5820k GTX970 that has been running happily for years on clover and High Sierra as my main production machine.
Because of recent changes to the Apps I mainly use in my work, and not being ready to get a completely new machine (economics are not solid) I found a used proc (Core i7 5960x) and GFX card (Radeon rx5700xt) that will allow me to update to at least Big Sur.
Of course as you all know Clover = deprecated and OpenCore is the norm, but open core actually kinda sucks in new more annoying ways then clover and is now holding me up.
after trying all manners of EFI configs and packages and stuff, I keep getting stuck in dumb places.
I tried using the opencore-patcher.app version 0.5.1 to do post install but that button is greyed out for me (when trying to edit the M2 that I have in a docking station connected to a real mac.) and the settings seem to only be related to the Mac I am currently on, and not the config.plist I want to edit. (ie it does not seem to work like clover configurator.)
here attached is my current EFI folder and Config.
I used propertree to edit my config file.
I have Big Sur installed and working on the M2 Drive on a real mac, I just cant get it to boot on the Hackintosh. (after trying a large number of EFI folders posted on this thread.)
setup:
GA-x99-UD4
Core i7 5960x
Radeon RX5700XT
native apple broadcom wifi/bluetooth
64GB ram
40TB HDs
trying to install Big Sur
on WB black 1Tb NVMe M2
Previously the system was running from 2015 to 2018 without a restart with Sierra; from 2018 to 2022 with a few restarts as I had to move a couple times on High Sierra. and everything worked.

Here is the screen I am currently stuck on:
Thanks in advance for any advice, I am probably missing something silly and fundamental.
PS: removed "resources" directory from the EFI folder so I could upload it. (it was too big otherwise)
