Hello everyone!
At first i wanna say im Russian and i can make mistakes in my note. Sry for this and have a good time :)
Lets start
Could you help me with installisation macOS Catalina 10.15.6 because i have some problems
My specs: CPU: Amd FX-8320 3.5ghz/ GPU: Sapphire R9 280 3gb/ 8gb RAM/ Motherboard: ASRock 990fx extreme3

1. Ive formated my usb flash card. (Fat-32, after ntfs)
2. I followed this guide https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/winblows-install.html
3. After installisation Gibmacos i open gibmacos.bat i choose opinion and press 'R'
After this i press '4' for install: macOS Catalina 10.15.6 (19G2021)
- 001-36801 - Added 2020-08-12 20:04:02 - FULL Install
4. After makeintall -> i choose my usb-> path the way to recoveryhdmetadmg.pkg
5. Ok, i done it. I have BOOT usb with efi folder
6. I open SSDTtime -> type 4 (Dudmp DSDT) -> enter -> type 2 (FakeEC) -> close
I use SSDT-EC.aml and move it to ACPI
Thats all, only one aml
7. Drivers i delete everything ( without OpenRuntime.efi). Added here new driver HFSPlus.efi
8. Kexts -> i add lillu/whatevergreen/virtualsmc/realtekrtl8111/voodoohda/xlncusbfix/applemcereporterdisavler. Thats all. I dont add nothing more
9. Tools. Delete evertything. Folder is empty
10. I move 'Sample.plist' to My Efi-> OC and rename it to 'config.plist'
11. Open ProperTree and open my config.plist. After it i choose File-OC Snapshot -> Choose 'OC' -> go to File again -> OC clean snapshot -> choose 'OC'
PlatformInfo-> Generic -> SystemProductName -> change to'MacPro6,1' -> Go to opencore vanila guide and change everything for my Bulldozer
Kernel -> Patch (delete this) -> open '15h_16h patches.plist' from 'amd_vanila-opencore'-> paste it to Kernel (33 children)
12. Boot-args (-v keepsyms=1 npci=0x2000 debug=0x100 -no_compat_check)
13. I check it ' https://opencore.slowgeek.com/ ' amd fx - 0.6.0 . Paste my config.plist (https://opencore.slowgeek.com/?file=amdfx060nG9II9&rs=amdfx060)
I made some mistakes, lets correct it. RebuildAppleMemoryMap=False/ SyncRuntimePermissions= False. I save it, its ok now
14. Sanity checker again. 0.6.0 Amd fx paste config.plist (https://opencore.slowgeek.com/?file=amdfx060YiaUG7&rs=amdfx060)
Only 2 mistakes: prev-lang:kbd = 72752d52553a323532 (ru-RU:252) (its ok). And Generic (MLB/ROM/SystemUUID)
15. GenSmBIOS-> Press 1 (install MacSerial)-> Press 2 (select config.plist) -> paste E:\EFI\OC\config.plist -> press 3 -> type 'MacPro6,1'

16. Again https://opencore.slowgeek.com/ and it says everything is good, except 'prev-lang:kbd' and 'ROM' (https://opencore.slowgeek.com/?file=amdfx060sYI4DJ&rs=amdfx060)
17. It's ok.
18. Reebot, change BIOS Settings and try to install.

Did u solved this problem?

yes !, I finally managed to install and boot macos on my system. What I had to do is go to the bios and turn EHCI Hand-off on enabled and everything just worked.

I use SSDT-EC.aml and move it to ACPI

In this step I did everything different ...

7> to make the dump
1> FixHPET
2> FakeEC
4> PluginType
the close and copy .aml files (don't copy SSDT.aml )

yes, there I send it to you. The only thing you have to keep in mind is that our hardware is very different.

You should try to do as I told you and add the files to my APCI folder and add the SMBIOS

if you use my config.plist you have to add the Generic (MLB/ROM/SystemUUID)

unless you patched your DSDT you don't need it in there.

Another important thing you have to keep in mind is that it takes a long time. I should wait a while. It happened to me that it worked but I did not realize it because it was stuck but in reality it was that as usb 2.0 is very slow it took a long time to load.
