So I've performed a fresh install of Catalina 10.15.7 in order to update my very old Hackintosh build (its been running Sierra for years), and the installation seemed to work pretty well (following the guide to the letter of course ), until time came to cut the USB boot umbilical.
I ran Multibeast v12.3.0-3 ("install successful"), rebooted, and all I got was a black screen and the message "B1InitializeLibrary failed 0xc00000bb", and that's it.
Now, I can boot into Catalina just fine using the USB installation Unibeast stick (which doesn't list the Win10 SSD?), but without Multibeast installing the clover bootloader on the SSD or the drivers, I have quite a mess on my hands as that means I can't get the internal & external audio devices to work properly, or the mac definition to change (Mainstage refuses to run due to graphics, presumably because "About This Mac" thinks it's an iMac from 2013). I've run it a few times with various different options ticked, but as far as I can tell it's doing diddly squat. Still same lack of anything as before.
With everything I've tried to fix this, Multibeast has always said "install succeeded", even though it doesn't seem to do anything.
I've checked all my UEFI (bios) settings are correct. The MacOSX and Win10 installs are on seperate SSD drives.
I have (double) checked that SIP is definitely disabled (e.g. CsrActiveConfig set to 0x67)
I have used the line "sudo mount -uw /" in terminal to try and make sure Multibeast has the necessary read/write access.
(The line "csrutil status" reports 'Apple Internal', 'Kext Signing', & 'Filesystem Protection' are disabled, the rest 'enabled'.)
I don't yet know what else to try!
I don't claim to have any knowledge of Mac OSX architecture or any expert experience in hackintoshes. I built my machine years ago simply by following the instructions and reading the forum, and it was a miracle I got it working then. I've been avoiding updating/upgrading for years for fear that I'd create more problems than solving...
Assume I'm a total novice and you'd be pretty much right.
I'm reading this site through furiously to find out a fix I can comprehend, but assuming I don't... please help!
PS: I've seen that 0xc00000bb error in threads that reference to not being able to boot Windows, but it boots fine; that is if I select it by changing the boot order in the bios, as that's the only way I can select it at the moment.
