I ran into this issue with my motherboard when first installing, so maybe it might be worth checking. Ensure your USB is in a USB3 port for the install... USB2 might not work as expected until your system is running properly. --edit-- Though I see that if your USB key is the Kingston...

@RyzeCooker, my friend, your tip finally cleared this issue for me. Officially got updated to 10.15.7 with no issues under OC 0.6.2. That old Apple firmware file appears to have been at least part of the issue, and now I have a nice clean and up to date system. Thank you kindly! pm

I have been tinkering with Hackintosh for a couple of years, and this system is my third working Hack (we won't speak of the two abysmal failures..). So far I have been very happy with my AMD/OC system and it has performed every way I have needed it, with only a few minor issues that I keep...

I am running on stick with 0.6.2 now. I took a deeper dive into SSDT files and found out the one I had was the magic sauce I needed for my motherboard afterall. I also found that the newest Realtek driver 2.3.0 didn't seem to play nice with my setup. Those both take care of, I am running on a...

I have learned to have backup EFI and a dev EFI that I work on. I always test booting on a USB key first to make sure I am not painting myself into a corner. Making all the mistakes first is a wonderful teacher.. ;) Yes, I am working on 0.6.2 and I am almost there, but something is going odd...

Good point. There is a file called "Firmware.scap" in that extensions folder. I don't recall exactly how that got folded into my development branch of my EFI. Some searching on that it looks like run-efi-updater was introduced in OC 0.6.0, and hits for the firmware file seem pretty old. Smells...

I am not sure if this is helpful or not, but I never had this issue with my Pro4. I am working on issues with how the system handles system upgrades, but otherwise it is very stable for me. Here is my EFI.

This is my current EFI, with the serial number removed and a screen shot of my folder hierarchy.

So, my system has been generally stable and runs to all my expectations for day to day use. However, I have a nagging issue that only seems to manifest when I attempt to apply a major security update to the Mac OS. I am running OC 0.5.9, so a bit behind the current version, so I will roll up...

It sounds like you are in the UEFI shell, which may mean you didn't setup your EFI partition properly. Video's go out of date far too quickly, particularly as OpenCore changes. Follow the guide, and make sure you are using known good tools like ProperTree for editing your config.plist and...

I tried a Hackintosh on an A6 based system last year and I had lots of trouble with the motherboard/bios compatibility. Keep in mind that you need the patches specific to your generation of AMD A10 processor. Don't be tempted to just use the sample config.plist included with OpenCore, you really...

Just an update for this thread, for the interested, a refinement of my boot args eliminated my issue. Thank you @Shaneee for your guidance. Catalina looks good!

Thank you, this I tried, but because I couldn't get booted on that disk, my challenge is it shows me the details for the disk I did boot from, which isn't as helpful. However, I was doing a sanity check on my config.ini and I realize that somehow I dropped the "debug=0x100" out of my boot args...

I recently attempted a new clean install of Catalina, but got blocked after the successful install and first run setup. When the system does is final first boot into the OS, I get a system panic and reboot faster than I can capture the verbose logs. I have been investigating a more detailed way...

Just as an update, refreshing OC to 0.5.9 and updating kexts, patches etc got me clear of this issue. Extra bonus is that my performance for my RX570 card seems to be improved slightly with the updates, so happy with that. Cheers! pm

It doesn't look like your FX 6300 (Piledriver gen.) is recommended for current OpenCore versions. https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/macos-limits.html#cpu-support It may be possible, but you might be fighting an uphill battle... pm

My experience from the Mac side is that Apple tends to torpedo older minor versions of OS installs (you can download High Sierra, for example, but only the last major stable version). Even if you found a full installer, it might not work properly ("Cannot install this version on this...

Probably the best way to go. I ran into this upgrading OpenCore from 0.5.7 to 0.5.9. For several sections in the config, the term "Block" was renamed to "Delete" to make it more consistent with the term "Add" (I assume). So, for others getting this schema error and you want to save a lot of time...

Just an FYI that I ran into difficulty with the recent Mojave security update 2020-004 with my stable AMD system running OC 0.5.7. I am overdue for a refresh on my OC, so I may take some time and prep for that and update my EFI appropriately and see if that helps. The issue presented as what...
