I'm trying to install macOS Sonoma instead of my Windows 11 installation. My PC is an HP (oh no, you guessed it right) ProDesk 600 G3 SFF. It has an HDD and a 256GB SSD M.2. Windows 11 is currently installed on the SSD, and I want to replace it with macOS (full hardware info is mentioned at the end).
So I did research, found OpenCore, and started setting it up. My CPU is Intel Core i7-7700 (Kaby Lake), so I added Kexts and other stuff relevant to my PC specs.
I also downloaded macOS Sonoma Recovery Image (because I have no Mac, I had to go with this). I faced a lot of problems with OpenCore not booting and other things, but I finally got the OpenCore boot manager to work.
So I clicked on my USB name suffixed with "(external) (dmg)" to get into the installer, and this happened (Image at the bottom): The system was logging the same error all over my screen, and this was the error: [AHCI][PRT][00170010] AbortCommands::5382 Port 1 - called, deviceWithError 0, errCode = 0xe0030005
I instantly looked up on the internet to see what is the cause of this error, and it seemed that I was the only person on the planet who got this error in a Hackintosh installation.
I tried using prebuilt ACPIs, built them manually, using SSDTTime, and remade the whole EFI folder, using 2 prebuilt EFI folders for my PC model (sorry I didn't know it was forbidden at that time), but nothing seemed to work. I have no idea what is this problem for, and fun fact that just now I realized that ACPI != AHCI lol.
This is the link to the error screenshot, my full system info dumped using System Information in Windows, and the whole folder structure of my USB Stick: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C4DpQsnhv2zwOWnbwQkg4Yz9TRcGwQL5/view?usp=sharing
The Hackintosh community has always been nice to newcomers, and they helped me with a bunch of other obstacles to reach this point for me. Thank you for not leaving me alone. Any guidance is extremely appreciated ❤.
