[SUCCESS] Optiplex 5040 Ventura Install Stuck on [EB|LOG:EXITBS:START]

[YellowRiver]

I have attached the EFI,
I am not in front of the Dell at the moment.
Make sure to set in Kernel > Quirks:
AppleCPUPMcfglock to False
AppleXcpmcfglock to True
This will get you to the next step in the boot process.

You should be able to boot using my EFI folder after adding the correct PlatformInfo (iMac18,1 or iMac18,2)

I noticed you are using a Skylake device id for IGPU, does that work with Ventura? Or do you only have to spoof platform id? (I used Kabylake for both so maybe I got hung up there)

IMac17,1 would not work. I think it's being phased out. The only 2 that worked with Ventura are the ones I mentioned above.

Yea I have mine set to iMac 18,1 I meant in device properties you have 0x19120000 for device Id (skylake) then a kabylake platform id

That is the only way I got mine to boot.
I will try to have both of them sync.
Did you get your system to boot to MacOS

I’m away currently so I don’t have access to it. I have the same processor where I am now so I can test out iGPU configs in a few min

Still can't reach installer :/
Can you give me a little more info about your system?
Bios version & settings
Did you install from a usb 3 or 2 drive and from which port (if you remember)
What video port are you using
Just trying to figure out what is different about my system that I cant install any version of macOS even though it should be a relatively easy machine to install on.

I don't have access to my computer at the moment, I will upload BIOS pics in 2 days.
I used front top left USB port with USB thumb 3.0 (blue).
Nothing special during boot or installation.
I did replace my PSU with 240W as I am using RX560. But during initial install, I used iGPU.
Don't change anything from the EFI I uploaded except SMBIOS selection to iMac18.x
Edit,
I used terminal to create the USB installer

Yep I've done everything you did and still can't get past it :/
Do you have an nvme drive?
Other than that the only difference I can think of would be bios..

Hi, follow the pics for bios. 1st thing is to restore BIOS to default.
To answer your NVMe question, I am using 1TB SanDisk (sn560e) that I picked up from Costco on sale. I removed it out of the casing and inserted in PCIe port. So it boot from internal drive.
Edit, I am using latest bios sw
