So I've been trying to Hackintosh (10.14.5) this old office tower for the last 4 days following the Internet Install Guide (and Vanilla Guide for config.plist setup), but so far my efforts didn't get me any further in the boot process...
Specs:
- i5 4590
- Custom HP Q85 MOBO (L01 2.75 BIOS)
- 8 GB of RAM
- HD Graphics 4600
It gets stuck here, and so far nothing I've tried helped.
I Googled most of the errors I get but haven't found anything particularly helpful.
What I've tried:
- Safe Mode. Only made things worse, got "couldn't read kernel cache" error, didn't even make it to EndRandomSeed.
- Using VirtualSMC and FakeSMC (to clarify, not at once).
- Trying other people's config.plists, in particular one from Vanilla Guide and some from people running similar HP machines.
- Using both VGA and DP video outputs.
- Updating BIOS from 2.65 to 2.75.
I also added some stuff to config.plist from what I could find, but as I wasn't able to identify the root cause, they were pretty random and didn't help at all.
Any ideas?
