Hello everyone! I just bought a PC with the only purpose of turning it into a hackintosh and, guess what, it's my first time. I decided to jump straight into Opencore as that seems waay more stable and reliable than Clover, but every post i found while googling proposed solutions only for the latter... Well, let's begin. First of all, my build:
CPU: i7-6700K
GPU: i plan to use the integrated one, so it would be Intel HD 530
RAM: GSkill TridentZ 3200MHz 16x2 located in the 2 slots next to the CPU
Motherboard/Laptop model: Z170X Designare by Gigabyte
Audio Codec: Realtek 1150
Ethernet Card: I don't think i have one? If it's part of the mobo i don't know it, but i plan to use a wireless card
Wifi/BT Card: (if available) I got a compatible card (one of the chipsets that the buyer's guide indicates as working with Big Sur) I still did not install it but it should work out of the box
What guide/tool followed: I followed Dortania's guide with the plist config for Skylake processors
What part I got an issue with: Well I'd like to know that, here's a picture: https://imgur.com/DJnpUwv & https://imgur.com/jPY4RUF
What files/config I am using: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M4TfyJkSUJtq1OyjSvchVHzdXoLcfwQu/view?usp=sharing
Ok so the story so far: I started following the guide and all went well during the preparation of the USB drive, I just want to note that I dowloaded everything in DEBUG version because i kinda knew i would have needed it; the first problem occurred when i tried to boot from it: after about 30sec the screen would lose signal and i was not able to see anything. So back in Windows I see that in my drive there's a .txt file, which at the end reports a common [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] error. Following the troubleshooting section I see that it's just about this:
If your firmware supports MATs:
- Enable both RebuildAppleMemoryMap
and SyncRuntimePermissions
then disable EnableWriteUnprotector.
Actually it says that MAT is supported only in newer firmwares, and occasionally back to skylake. In my log.txt i could not find any "OCABC: MAT support is 1/0" so i just went with trial and error and tried both configurations, and the one that changes something is the one that assumes I do have MAT.
So what has changed now is the new log screen I have attached, which at the end reports:
"Panic diags file unavailable, panic occurred prior to initialization"
and
"Memory panic stackshot succeded"
While the log file in the drive still reports [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START]
All the googling that i did would suggest that I have a problem with CPU power management, so I tried to go back and see if I did something wrong with my ACPIs, but they look ok... I made them via SDTTime. The only thig I can say is that the EC and USBX are two separate files, but they say it doesn't matter...
Another thing I found talks about that damned CFG lock, for which I don't have an option in my BIOS. I do have the two quirks enabled to get around that though, so I don't thik that is the case.
At last, somebody says it could be a problem with the iGPU (which would explain why it lost signal before). I do have it enabled in my bios and 64mb allocated... I think that's it, the only thing I tried was removing the "framebuffer-fbmem" line that allocates 9MB, but nothing changed....
So I don't know what to try next, maybe there's something in the log that I can't read or maybe I did something wrong while setting everything up... I don't know, please help, I've been stuck for 2 days!
