Getting stuck at the CoreAnalyticsHub start completed message is a common OpenCore bootloader issue during a Hackintosh installation. It means macOS has loaded the kernel and basic drivers but it is failing to initialise the PCI devices or graphics.

Your RX 6900 XT (XTXH) requires a fake device-id in order for it to work in macOS. This can be added as an SSDT or via DeviceProperties in your config.plist.

The exact fix required depends on your hardware and OpenCore configuration, but the following troubleshooting steps are the most successful:
  • Update your Kexts & ACPI:
    • Ensure your Lilu, WhateverGreen, and VirtualSMC kexts are up to date.
    • Regenerate your hardware-specific SSDTs (such as SSDT-PLUG-ALT) using SSDTTime.
  • Toggle PCI / Resizable Bar, hanging near this stage is often caused by PCI enumeration.
    • Enter your BIOS and disable Resizable BAR (ReBAR)
    • Enable Above 4G Decoding.
    • Remove npci=0x2000 or npci=0x3000 from your boot-args in your config.plist, if you have enabled Above 4G Decoding in your bios.
  • Perform an NVRAM Reset before booting again.
  • Review MMIO Configuration: Improper MMIO reassignment can stall the boot process right after this step.
    • Verify your config.plist's Booter quirks (e.g., DevirtualiseMmio) match standard setup guidelines.
