At least for me, with an ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3, Ryzen 9 3900X, 32GB of RAM, and OpenCore 0.6.5, I finally just left my computer running and to just see what would happen. This was after rebooting/interrupting it several times (and waiting) pretty much the whole afternoon and evening thinking that something was wrong since it was slow.
At first I thought it was a driver issue, but I saw in my logs that all my drivers loaded successfully. I had no idea what was going on.
So then I just waited. Even though I had to sit through a black screen before the boot selector, then wait as logs were slowly showed up, I'm finally installing Big Sur as we speak.
I'm not sure if it's just because I used a really bad USB drive, but it took about 25 minutes to get to the boot menu selector according to my logs, and took about another 15 minutes to get to the macOS installer.
I don't know if this is normal behavior, but watching installation videos and looking through forums, this process seemed pretty fast for people.
So I'm just here to warn people that if this process is going slow (and you don't have any errors listed in the OpenCore Boot Issues on Dortania's Guide), then you might just have to wait a while.
