Hi All!
So i've been given a Panasonic CF-D1 by a friend who doesnt need it anymore and thought it'd be a cool idea to try turn it into a hackintosh setup, like a much newer ModBook lol!
I seem to be having some issues however which i'll list below along with what i've tried thus far.
First the specs of the machine:
Intel Core i5 6300U
16GB DDR3 RAM
Intel HD 520 GPU Graphics chip
1TB SSD
Now what i've done/tried, and where i am currently at:
1.) Created a Mojave install USB and got OpenCore onto this USB using the Dortania guide
2.) Setup the SMBios so the machine thinks its a MacBook Pro13,1 as the CPU is a close match (At least i think? Guides when looking at making the SMBios all seem to say to get as close as possible to official hardware spec that Apple use) - Quirks and other settings are mainly at their defaults. Downloaded SMCBatteryManager and some I2C files in order to ensure battery monitoring and touchscreen would work at least in basic form. Also downloaded and enabled OpenHFSPlus. Also set security to disabled, scanpolicy to 0 as well.
3.) Tried to boot the USB, OpenCore loads up fine and i select the USB installer. Some lines of text come up and then the system boot loops. I know the last line of text likely isnt important but everything reboots after "EndRandomSeed" , doesnt even get to starting the installer.
4.) Tried various quirks like the cfglock ones as i remember from before this same reboot loop was fixed on a Lenovo system i had where with that quirk disabled - Doing it here however did not alleviate the issue
5.) At this point i decided to try the Clover bootloader - To my surprise this actually worked! I got the installer to boot with little to no editing of the config.plist - Now i actually have Mojave installed - However now i need to start personalising that config.plist - This is where i'd like some help please
If anyone could advise on any specific settings like the type of SMBios to use (right now the system thinks its an iMac lol - was the SMBios settings i used in OpenCore ok maybe?) or any specific UEFI drivers or kexts i should perhaps grab that would be a great help. All i really want to get working at first is Audio and Graphics Acceleration. The rest i can slowly work on myself like Wifi, touchscreen, proper USB port mapping etc....
