Hello,
In the past, I created a thread about my hackintosh with the same ASRock B650I Lightning WiFi. It was in november 2023 if I remember correctly. Now, many things changed in my computer. I don't use hackintosh daily anymore : it's more about having fun ! Actually, I deleted the macOS partition after the successful installation.

Misc :
- MMIO whitelists were needed. Thanks to CorpNewt tool, MmioDevirt, it was very easy to do. In the past, I added the entries manually from OC logs.
- USB installer was created thanks to Mist on my MacBook Pro M1 2021.
- USBMap.kext was created on Windows 11 with USBToolBox (Apple Native Classes setting enabled) and updated for Tahoe with USBMapInjectorEdit from CorpNewt. The internal bluetooth USB related to the QCNCM865 was disabled. The "led controller" too but Hackintool still sees it for some reason.
- CPU-Name from CorpNewt used to add a custom name for my CPU.
- WhateverGreen.kext was disabled for the install process to avoid kernel panics.
- Used GoldenGateExt OC theme. Looks very nice.
- SSDTs generated with SSDTTime.
- Only Dortania guide and my knowledge used to create this EFI.
BIOS settings :
- SATA hotplug : for some reasons, it created a lot of issues during the install process... With it enabled, I had kernel panics related to storage.
- Resizable-Bar enabled. No issues.
- IOMMU : enabled (I need it for other purposes). No issues.
- Fast boot, CSM, etc. : disabled.
What is working :
- Hardware acceleration with metal support : RX 6900 XT (XTX chip) is supported natively even without WhateverGreen.kext and agdpmod=pikera boot-arg.
- USB ports.
- CPU power management ?
- ...
What is not working :
- Obviously, my Qualcomm QCNCM865 : no WiFi or Bluetooth, no big deals for me. No Continuity, etc.
- RTL8125BG doesn't work anymore on Tahoe+ : I tried both Mieze's kexts (LucyRTL8125ethernet.kext worked fine on Sequoia) but no results. Had to block com.apple.driver.AppleEthernetRL in order to avoid ethernet kernel panics even without any ethernet kexts. I used USB hotspot from my iPhone 13 Pro to get internet. Need to wait for the kext being updated.
Not tested :
- Sleep/wake : I never use sleep.
- Apple iServices : don't use them anymore on my hackintosh. Without a proper network device, it may be difficult to get them working ?
