It is probably a misconfigured config.plist, attach it.

I can attach the plist from the USB which is the same, but how can I access the one from the hackintosh hard drive given I can’t login?

The one that you are booting with is the only one that is relevant.

I’m booting from the hackintosh hard drive. After selecting that hard drive in clover, I’m getting that error message. How can I copy the config.plist to post here when I’m unable to login?

Appreciate your help!

Why is it a text file ?
Attach your config.plist.

• The error message you have paraphrased (instead of taking a picture of the boot screen and uploading the image of that for folks who can read the entire screen and pick up relevant text for diagnostic interpretation) "kext stall 'AppleACPICPU' message " points to a problem with the CLOVER folder contents from the booting System disk.
• The problem is possibly related to drivers (kexts) of some hardware in that computer you have ENABLED/DISABLED in the BIOS to be used in conjunction with the /Library /Extensions and /or /System/Library/Extensions folder or the CLOVER/kexts/Other Folder of the booting System Disk and how you have configured your Clover/config.plist to make use of the drivers during boot.
• In your post #1 where you have listed what steps you have previously followed leading up to the boot error, you had mentioned you had copied the EFI folder from your USB installer Disk to the EFI partition of the System Disk it had created.
• If you can upload the EFI folder from your USB installer as well as the BIOS options you have chosen to boot this disk, there is a good chance we can come up with a diagnosis and offer the next best step to resolve the issue.
• Instead of trying to type out what you think may be relevant on a verbose boot screen, I suggest you boot the System from Clover Boot Manager (CBM Screen in Verbose Mode ( with -v boot flag) and take the picture(s) of any suspicious screen and upload with your message to the Forum.
