[GUIDE] macOS Catalina on ASRock DeskMini 310 with 9th Gen Intel Core CPU, Dual-Boot

[Css13]

@viorel78 thanks for helping out again!



@Css13 do yourself a favour and stay with OpenCore. I will definitely go out and learn more about it. I will make a new USB-Stick and install Big Sur on a second nVme Strip just to have some more practice with OC. I think dortanias guide is a good place to start.

I see. I don't know OpenCore, but I'll give it a try. I'll probably update my DeskMini 310 to Big Sur in a couple of weeks. Thanks for sharing the guide!

What exactly is failing? I too upgraded to Big Sur yesterday with OC 0.6.1 but failed first because of Boot Security, so I disabled the Security setting in config.plist and Big Sure installed without problem. But now I have to look how I can upgrade my OC to the recent 0.6.3 because this is what is recommended for Big sure. Any Tips on these? TIA

What exactly do you disable? I made the scan policy set to 0 already.

As for open core 0.6.3, I don't find any problem in upgrading ( I mean in another built MSI Z370 with Big Sur). I usually use the Sanity check to make sure it fit the configuration.

If you have the same problem then I had (reboot-loop before the end of Big Sur upgrade) then you must in your config.plist under Security set SecureBootModel to "Disabled", but I recommend to build upon the provided OpenCore 0.6.4 EFI from @viorel78

Thanks, I will try when I back home.

My case is not reboot loop. In the initial install phase, when first reboot, it goes to the shut down page again instead of reboot. It is rare. I have other Hackintosh like MSI Z370 board have not encounter this problem.

I cannot relate to this. But I recommend using the EFI from @viorel78 as recommended above. Just add your credentials and put it in your EFI-Partition of your Deskmini 310 Boot-Device. Works for me.

Looks like you haven't used the EFI from @viorel78 which is customised to Mac mini(2018), should look more like this, also there are placeholder-values instead of a serial-number which you should insert in config.plist:

THIS is my config, hope some one can help me, thanks :3
