Hi guys!
I've been trying for the past 4-5 days to dual boot with macos on my laptop with OpenCore, but unfortunately I keep encountering all kinds of problems.
I tried about 10 EFIs from various platforms, but unfortunately none of them worked. With these ready-made EFIs for my platform, it stopped at the ACPI tables, I looked for the errors on, added the missing drivers and then I was reaching a point where it restarted after showing me PCI configuration begin.
I also made my own EFI from scratch following the tutorials on this platform and with a clean EFI, but with the bare minimum I was getting the error In memory panic stackshot succeeded, and above there was an error on the kernel for AppleACPIPlatform.

I've tried absolutely everything, NormalizeHeaders, MmioWhitelist, all kinds of settings and kexts, etc.
I also did try clearing NVRAM, removing the SSDT, all kext an drivers up to date, I did try to disable the NootedRed, I did try with the -wegnoegpu boot command.

I know that my configuration is not a good one, but I have seen many successes with it, I don't understand why I can't succeed either.

I've tried MacOS Monterey 12.7.3 and Sonoma 14.3

I did the possible Bios Settings:

Secure Boot : Disable
Fast Boot - Disable
I tried the recovery method and the usb boot

My specs:
GA401QE.415
Ryzen 7 5800HS with Vega 8
16GB RAM DDR4 = Samsung M471A1G44AB0
Nvidia RTX 3050Ti 4GB
SSD: SAMSUNG MZVLQ512HBLU (PM991a)
Wi-Fi: MediaTek MT7921

Thank you in advance.

Will you be using a USB wireless adapter too, or are you going to swap out the MediaTek card, as it won't be recognised?

A good place explaining the intricacies of installing Vega graphics might be:


:)
 
The laptop is still under warranty, could I lose it if I switch to another card?
I will check all the links from the above post and get back with feedback.
Is it mandatory to increase the buffer size?
or can I change it later? because I don't have this setting in Bios. I know it's possible with a tool, but I didn't want to risk it and still not succeed.
 
I tried everything I could found from the post sent and from the links in that post, I tried with various boot-args, I replaced NootedRed with WhateverGreen, I tried everything possible...
if you have any ideas what else I can try, I will try, if not I will give up on this idea.
Thank you so much.
