issue : Tahoe Installation on AMD Ryzen 5 3500X 6-Core Processor | AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8 GB | 16 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 | Sonoma 14.8.9 | Metal 3

Hello everyone,

I’m new to the forum, but it has already been an incredible help in getting my first Hackintosh up and running. I'm really glad I found this community and am excited to be a part of it!

I'm currently looking for guidance on upgrading to or performing a fresh install of macOS Tahoe on my AMD desktop.

My Current Setup:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500X 6-Core
• Motherboard: ASUS TUF B550M
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (8 GB, Metal 3)
• RAM: 16 GB 3200 MHz DDR4
• Current OS: macOS Sonoma 14.8.9
• Networking: PCIe Wi-Fi card

When trying to set up a new configuration with the Tahoe image on a pen drive, the Apple logo appears briefly with an error before bouncing back to the OpenCore boot menu.

I would prefer an in-place upgrade option if possible, but a clean installation is fine too. If anyone has tips or a working setup for this, I’d greatly appreciate the help.

(Note: I've attached my currently working EFI/Boot folder below in case it helps anyone else with a similar configuration. Front USB ports aren't working on this one yet, but I figured I'd leave that for future experimenting! )

Thanks in advance!

USB maps need a different format for Tahoe. And you probably should fix your mapping in Sonoma or Sequoia first to get these front ports working.

I did updated the USB as per the guidelines, able to boot into installation.
.but seems getting hanged at phase 2, where keyboard and mouse dont respond around 14 minute remaining.
And for some reason boot argument -v is not working ... will share the files once online ..
