Hi CaseySJ and others,
I just want to thank you, and others, for this wonderful guide. I've been using a 2010 Mac Pro 5.1 since I purchased it, and though with upgrades it's been a workhorse, it's definitely felt a little long in the tooth. Your guide gave me the courage to try and put together a Hackintosh to finally retire my old system.
Friday I built my system and got it running with Windows. Saturday I spent following your guide and attempting to install Mac OS. Unfortunately, the main guide and EFI did not work for me: OS X stalled on the Apple icon while attempting to install, and after that, I kept getting stuck at the [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] error.
Fortunately, I was able to download another EFI from one of the stray posts (unfortunately, I downloaded about 5 of them and kept going until I found one, and have no idea at this point whose it was...) and get 10.15.6 installed. It appears to be working for most things, although Thunderbolt appears to be missing and despite following the guide to get wifi and bluetooth working, that appears to be a dead-end as well.
Also, the Open Core picker doesn't seem to see my SSD backup, so despite making a close with CCC, I don't feel like I have a safe, working backup.
Any suggestions or advice? I'm happy to reinstall and start all over, but am unsure why it may not be working from the original guide. My specific parts are listed below.
And my apologies in advance if this is asking too much—I more or less imagined this would take awhile to get working properly, but I'm afraid I'm missing something obvious. If helpful, I'd be happy to post the config.plist or anything else needed.
