HI there,
I'm totally new to this, and been playing around for the last couple of days and got as far as boot working with the error message above, or it just freezes. I've tried USB3 and USB2 with no luck. Any ideas please?!
What this error means is that when the system hands control over from OpenCore to macOS, some of your USB ports are not being enabled. This is not an uncommon issue.
I had this occur and found that if I quickly switched the macOS installation USB drive to another USB port, when the “Still waiting for root device” message appears, that the installation would continue. It took a few trials to discover a working port for the switch.
I assume you have enabled the Kernel > Quirks > XhciPortLimit entry in your OpenCore config.plist.
Posting a copy of your EFI folder, with the serial number deleted from the config.plist, would be helpful. In that others with a similar system may have a fix for this issue.
Providing confirmation of the drive being used for macOS would also be helpful. As some of these mini PC’s come with drives that are incompatible with macOS.
