Since doing a NVRAM reset on a Z97x Gaming 7 rig, and losing the OC boot, I have been trying to get a USB stick to boot.
I have loaded 0.6.6. on the USB, and used ocvalidate and slow geek sanity checker to validate it. But when I attempt to boot from the stick on the teriminal responds with the message "Invalid Boot disk" ( words not exact ) and to press any key to select a new disk.
I don't get any other messages on the terminal, even though I have the debug switch set with the -v option ( and other options)
If I put this same USB stick in my other Hackintosh - Z390 Asus - it boots to the disk selector just fine.
I completely reinitialized the USB, erased, Install Big Sur all following the Opencore guide, and tried again with the same result.
The rig is a dual boot, and I have no trouble booting from the Windows 10 disk. It has always been a dual boot host.
I am NOT trying to install Big Sur, that was running just fine up to Feb 2021 when I tried to update the boot disk EFI from 0.6.2 to 0.6.6. I'm just trying to boot the system to MacOS again.
Nothing is wrong with the boot disk itself - I'm pretty sure. The issue is that I can't get an OC EFI to even get to the disk selector screen.
No boot_log.txt file is recorded to the EFI folder on the USB stick. The BIOS sees the stick just fine, but it no longer sees the 0.6.2 OC on the MacOS disk any longer.
Ideas? Suggestions?
