Hi Guy's,

for hours, i try to install Monterey on my old Intel system but, i can't get into the recovery installer.
I followed the dortania guide very carefully and did it exactly like this, but every time i try to boot from usb i get EXITBS:START error.
I do not know how to continue anymore.

My System:
Gigabyte H81M-HD3
Intel Xeon E3 1246 v3 with built-in HD P4600/4700
16Gig's DDR3 1600
500GB Kingston SSD S-Ata
latest version from opencore 0.9.9
VT-D, CSM and SecureBoot are disabled in the UEFI and OS-Type is set to Windows 8 (newest version i can choose)
and i only boot via usb 2.0 port's and tryed different sticks now... now luck yet.

Maybe you guys have an idea, what's wrong with my setup or perhaps the hardware won't work with macos,
I'm about to give up and you guys are my last hope.

This is the latest log from opencore

i get EXITBS:START error
That's not an error, it's a part of every boot sequence.
It's the moment when the boot loader completes and hands over to the OS to continue the boot process.

There is a section in the Dortania guide troubleshooting section with regard to system halts at this point.

Your config.plist is flawed :

yeee, i know... i followed there too, but no luck it still stops there and the system reboots....

Have you fixed the "ocvalidate" error as well?
 
See if this edited version of your /EFI gets you any further.
Replace your entire /EFI with this one :

Your OpenCore log is pointless. The boot loader completes.

ok, sorry, it's been a while since I've dealt with this topic, now i have to figure out why the system still reboots -.-
