Hey all! I'm a pretty old hackintosher and legacy Mac enthusiast. All my PC and MACs have Sonoma installed. Also, 2 old rigs, Intel core2 PC. So, I found at home an old AMD computer with A8-3820 processor. I know it lacks some instructions for newer macOSs but so is core2, and core2 can run Ventura, Sonoma..... Is any way to make this old AMD PC to run Sonoma?
I have built one EFI for it, but I'm stuck at: "ASSERT [OpenCore] DivU64x64Remainder.c(38): Divisor != 0".
Thank you!
Personally I think this FM1 system is lacking too many Instruction sets, which allow some AMD CPU's/chipsets to run macOS. Specifically the SSE4 / SSE4.1 + SSE4.2 instructions that are present in later AMD CPU's. If this were an FM2 system then you would be in a better position. As it is, I think you will need to use a Patched Kernel to run macOS on this system. You will be fortunate if you are able to run anything newer than El Capitan or Sierra on this system.
But first you need to confirm the other components are you using in this FM1 system. So provide make and model details for Motherboard, GPU and HDD/SSD/NVME you are planning on using. Before a final judgment is passed.
Confirm if the Bios is UEFI capable or not. Plus that it is running the latest Bios for the MB.
