Troubleshooting ACPI and Battery Management Errors on Ryzen 5 5600 Hackintosh

help?

The image you provided shows the verbose boot output of your Hackintosh process, which is stopping with ACPI errors and messages related to battery management. Since you're working with a Ryzen 5 5600 system, here's a step-by-step guide and title to potentially solve your issue:

Hackintosh Solution Guide:

Step 1: Review ACPI Configuration

  • Make sure your ACPI patches and SSDTs are appropriate for your Ryzen system. You may need SSDTs that are specifically crafted for Ryzen CPUs.

Step 2: Correctly Map Your USB

  • Use a USB mapping tool like USBMap or Hackintool to create a custom USB kext for your system. Incorrect USB mapping can lead to a variety of issues.

Step 3: Update Your Kexts

  • Ensure that all your kexts, including VirtualSMC, Lilu, WhateverGreen, and AppleALC, are up to date. Ryzen systems often require the NullCPUPowerManagement kext as well because standard CPU power management does not support AMD processors in macOS.

Step 4: Double-Check Your BIOS Settings

  • Verify that your BIOS settings are optimized for Hackintosh:
    • Disable CSM.
    • Enable UEFI booting.
    • Disable Secure Boot.
    • Set the RAM profile to XMP if available.

Step 5: Inspect Your config.plist

  • Use ProperTree or a similar plist editor to check your config.plist for any mistakes. Pay special attention to the Kernel section and ensure that the patches for AMD are applied.

Step 6: Remove Unnecessary ACPI Additions

  • If you have added DSDT.aml or any other unnecessary ACPI files, remove them unless you're sure they're configured correctly for your specific hardware.

Step 7: Check the OpenCore Guide

  • Refer to the OpenCore documentation for Ryzen CPUs. The Dortania guide is particularly helpful and offers a specific section for AMD-based systems.

Step 8: Look Into Battery Management Kexts

  • The error messages about batteries may indicate an issue with the SMCBatteryManager kext. If this is a desktop system, you may not need this kext.

Step 9: Troubleshooting Further ACPI Errors

  • For detailed ACPI errors, you might need to create or modify SSDTs manually or with the help of an ACPI hotpatching guide.

Step 10: Seek Assistance from the Community

  • If these steps do not resolve your issues, gather your EFI folder, the exact error messages, and your system details to seek further help from the Hackintosh community.

Conclusion: While Hackintosh on AMD systems can be challenging, with the right configuration and community support, you can often get your system up and running. Remember to take things step by step and to validate your changes after each major modification.
