Hello there, newbie to the Hackintosh scene here. I wanted to give Catalina a try (and maybe debug some code). My mobo is a PowerSpec Haswell i5 board. I tried everything I could throw at it (reconfigured the config.plist, swapping ram, changing bios settings). The poor thing gets stuck in a boot loop. I have gotten OpenCore to start successfully, but I can't seem to enter the Catalina recovery/base image file. Embedded below is the last screen shown before the system reboots (this was a very hard shot to take) BTW, here is the specs I'm working with here:
I'm using the OpenCore vanilla guides, and My flash drive is a generic 32 GB USB 2.0 flash disk (though I have tried a SanDisk Ultra 32GB USB 3.0 drive). Any help would be helpful. Pardon the potato camera: Had to find a use for my iPod Touch 5G.
