<< Solved >> PLEASE HELP!! Dell Optiplex 790, stuck on apple logo on first boot

[collintherealtor]

Please Help!

First Hackintosh build, I have a Dell Optiplex 790 which I’ve read everywhere is compatible. I’m attempting to install Mac OS X Sierra. I made my bootable drive using my 2014 MacBook Air. I’ve done almost everything I can think of. It only has Intel HD graphics, no dedicated gpu is installed. Any idea on why this is happening? It gets nowhere, progress bar does not move for 30+ min and I have never been able to get it to move. If someone could help me finish my first install I will be good as I have several of these units. Thanks so much for anyone that can help. Thanks!

If you don't boot in verbose mode then you are wasting your time.

Hi P1GRAM, I’m sorry, I’m new to this so I didn’t know how this platform works. Is it okay now? And how would I boot into verbose mode? After I boot into the USB then select install OSX Sierra it freezes

Hi! I found out that hitting space gets me the option for verbose mode. Here is an image with the verbose errors. Thanks so much!

Not seen this before :

ACPI errors are usually caused by incorrectly enabling ACPI fixes in the config.plist or using misconfigured SSDT or DSDT.

It would be SUPER DUPER useful if you could go ahead and provide some details about your system and the steps you took to get everything working.

Too many posts and threads are left half-answered - the information to make thing work is kinda, sorta there, but crucial info is missing. And it's $@$#^@%$# frustrating! So pretty please, with sugar on top, help others who are helping you by providing this basic info.
