macOS 10.12.5 only starts with cpus=1

[Yahu]

Hi,

I got a strange problem with macOS installation. Both installation and system boots only with cpus=1. I tried both Voodoo and NullCPU, tried various BIOS settings configurations, various other boot flags. Nothing helps.

Some info about my PC:

Model: MSI PE60 6QE
Motherboard: MS-16J5
CPU: i7-6700HQ
GPU: HD530 (Currently working with macOS) + GTX970M
RAM: 32GB DDR4

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.

"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"

I've updated my profile.

Your profile is still missing screen resolution.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.

Please see the attached files.

Please see the attached files.

Looks like a normal boot...
But you did not follow the guide:
- Clover/kexts is wrong
- ACPI/patched is wrong (patched ACPI not needed for the installer)
- config.plist is wrong

Try following the guide as written.

Te dsdt.amp is not patched, it's just the DSDT extracted from my hardware. However, the system doesn't start up even with the file not present.

I went through the whole guide again and I still don't know what's wrong about my keys and config. Could you give me any advice as to where should I look for an error?

Complete nonsense then...
No need to put anything in ACPI/patched unless you plan to patch it...

Your config.plist is not from the guide.
Your kexts are not per guide.
Don't forget about SATA-100-series-unsupported (as per guide).
