Hello Everyone,

I am facing an issue with installing MAC OS Sequoia on AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U w/ Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx.

Got stuck on this stage:



I would really much appreciate your assistance and suggestions.

Please find my EFI and report.

Thanks in advance.

Update.

Have tried with Sonoma image, apparently it bypasses the previous stage.
Shows bunch of random lines, and then at some point it restarts.

Try this revised EFI see if it gets you any further along the Installation process.

Hello Edhawk,

Thanks for the re-visioning my EFI.

Used the revised one, but stuck on the same thing.

Remove these two kexts from the /EFI/OC/Kexts folder and config.plist as they are causing issues with the Prelinked Kernel.

AppleALC.kext
Airportitlwm.kext

Did it, but the same thing again.

The one I initially posted here, used for Sequoia. Nothing more than the screenshot attached above in the first post.
Then used the same one for Sonoma, it bypasses the first screen, but as mentioned earlier, in the process of booting (pre-installation), while showing the lines, it stucks and restarts, tried several times, same thing, it just keeps restarting.

After removing AppleALC.kext and Airportitlwm.kext from kext folder and config.plist from your EFI, getting following:

Update:
Thanks for the help and time,
After some researching, found out that my SSD could be the issue.

"
Samsung PM981, PM991, Micron 2200S, SK Hynix PC711, and Intel 600p NVMe SSDs

SSDs with these controllers (NVMe) are not compatible with any macOS/OS X version and do not work out of the box. All these SSDs are known to cause Kernel Panics and performing a clean installation on these SSDs is not possible unless you use an SSDT. A clone method can be used to install macOS on these SSDs. In addition to the SSDT, you'll need to use NVMeFix.kext to fix the random Kernel Panics. Please note that these SSDs may still cause Kernel Panics even when using the required fix."

OK, I hadn't picked up you were using an old Samsung NVMe drive.

If you are going to replace it with a new drive, I would recommend a Western Digital or SanDisk NVMe drive as nearly all of them are fully compatible with macOS.

Don't go wasting your money on a PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 drive, as your system won't be able to use the higher end throughput. I tend to use Western Digital drives such as the SN570, SN580 and SN770 drives in my older non PCIe 4.0 systems.

Thanks for the recommendation Edhawk.
