Hello Everyone,
I am very new to hackintosh as well as new to this Forum.

I have tried to install Catalina 10.15.4 in my System using OpenCore Bootloader Provided by @el_angel_caido in his post https://forum.amd-osx.com/index.php?threads/installation-with-some-problems-on-amd-fx-8350.40/

@el_angel_caido Thanks for providing your EFI.

Now the Issue is after reaching to Installation screen I am unable to move the Cursor. I am not able to understand whether my Keyboard & Mouse not working upon boot or the system itself freezes. Also the Language is not English, it is something else.

Attached Installation Screenshot https://www.dropbox.com/s/tn4i8epkw6u3n0o/Screen Freeze.jpg?dl=0
Attached EFI https://www.dropbox.com/s/eutrwbilcyzina6/BOOT Drive.zip?dl=0


I have gone through Dortania's Installation and troubleshooting Guide, but unable to understand what to do with NullCPUPowerManagement and Language Management.

Requesting any willing person can guide me on this please.

Hello Guys,
I want to update that I have solved the Language issue by adding en-US:0 in config .plist and also started the Installation by adding SSDT-EC0.aml to EFI\OC\ACPI folder then injecting SSDT-EC0.aml into config.plist

Now the new problem is after completing 1st phase of Installation the Installer reboots itself and starts to boot from the macOS Installer option from the Boot Picker and then it is stuck on Apple Logo with a Progress Bar and a Message "About 10 Minutes Remaining"

Requesting you guys to Please help me solving this.

Hi.

Indeed the language of the EFI configuration that I shared is Spanish from Spain, my native language, and that is modified in the config.plist according to the opencore documentation (prev-lang: kbd: <>).

Regarding the keyboard and mouse, if they are USB they should not give problems, if they are PS/2 they can give problems and you still need to add the files Ps2KeyboardDxe.efi and Ps2MouseDxe.efi.
At least I think that's how it worked for me the last time I did a clean install using PS/2 devices.

The issue of the installation bar that stops ... I don't remember where the MacOS recovery is downloaded from the Internet but it is several GB and it takes a while to do it.
Also the installation before reaching the window to choose language and others is slow, I think I remember that it was almost an hour, more or less.

I also think it would be good if you put the installation in debug mode to see where it stops and see, if possible, why it stops. For this you need the debug versions of the opencore files (and I don't know if the kexts ones too).

Oh, and I see that opencore is already on version 0.6.0, and the EFI I left was for 0.5.7, and a few things have changed. Perhaps, knowing the files that are required, it would be best to create a new config.plist from scratch using the opencore guide.

What I anticipate, if it has not been corrected in some way, and I think not, is that when you activate the ASMedia USB 3.0 ports of your motherboard with the GenericUSBXHCI.kext you will have problems with the shutdown, among other things.
In my case I decided to sacrifice USB 3.0 to gain stability.

And when configuring the sound, using VoodooHDA, the sound utility closed and did not allow to configure the audio channels (in my case it put them in 7.1 when I have 2.0).

In the end I installed High Sierra, where, except for USB 3.0, the rest worked more or less correctly, sound included.

Currently I don't have the Hackintosh working so I'm afraid I won't be able to be of much more help to you.

Good luck and regards. :cool:

PS: Sorry for my terrible english ... it's the Google translator's fault. 😅
