OK, so I've been on a real journey with this for the past 5 days. I bought a dell 9020 specifically to make a Hackintosh with because it had everything that works with macOS and I found a "easy" Hackintosh guide for it before I bought it. This path led me astray and I gave up with pre made stuff (EFI folders for example) after 2 days. I've learned to use propertree, gensmbios, OpenCore and a lot about apple products! I got it to boot to GUI apple installer today so thats a bit of a win for me. I may still not be completely there yet though, so if you may:
My setup: dell optiplex 9020 USFF - Dell motherboard - CPU: Intel Core i7-4770S - iGPU: Intel HD4600 graphics. - Trying to install latest Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina.
I know this has had many inquiries already, so I apologize, but I am getting the macOS could not be installed error with nothing else with it. The Dortania guide: I have tried getting the newest copy of macOS, the date thing, I manually changed the CSM in propertree because I don't have that BIOS setting.
Also of note when I was first trying to do this the guide I followed had me change hidden BIOS settings. I'm not sure if that is helping or hurting, but I loaded the defaults and went with Dortania's BIOS recommendations, not sure if those settings are still like that or not.
I'm really not sure how to tell if this is happenening: "Stuck on or near IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLock.../gIOLockState (3..." - is there an option that would show me that like the verbose thing?
I AM trying to use the iGPU with a intel HD 4600 embedded graphics. So it could be "ig-platform-id and device-id " - To where do I go to make sure my 4600 is working with these? These are settings in propertree, right? This doesn't seem to be a display issue but who knows?
I'm sorry but for me right now the Dortania guide kind of goes off with the help a bit towards this stage I'm in, between kernel issues and post install. The userspace issues (https://Dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/troubleshooting/extended/userspace-issues.html) provided aren't really helping me with my issue. Admittedly, some of this is still going over my head and I would appreciate ANY help!
Thanks!
