Classic1337 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 First off, hello everyone please forgive me for all the mistakes ive inevitably made, this is my first proper attempt at making a hackintosh. CPU: i5 5300u GPU: Intel HD 5500 RAM: 8gb ddr3 1600mhz Wireless adapter: unsupported one (im using ethernet for time being) thats all the important information related to my laptop i can think of, if anyone needs sth else lmk The issue: I've gotten to the install page on Big Sur, issue is whenever the install gets to 12 minutes remaining (exactly 12 minutes every single attempt) it throws what i assume is a kernel panic and restarts the entire pc, but i cannot for the life of me figure out why, could someone more intelligent then me possibly give me assistance? thank you, need anymore information please ask I'll provide the minute I see it! [EDIT] forgot to mention, im also looking for a good wireless adapter which is supported, can someone tell me one that isnt too pricy (like the dell one) but can unlock all/most functions which require it (like airdrop etc) [EDIT 2] I've just upgraded my BIOS to the latest version (i was on 09 or 07 i forgot which) hopefully that'll fix it but cant say for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheousman Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 It should get to the install screen in about 2 minutes. That's the one where you pick your language and what hard drive to install to. After that it should continue install, and reboot after a few minutes, continue install from installer, then I think mine rebooted one more time after that. You're assuming yours is having a kernel panic? Post a picture of the screen when your error is happening. Also, attach your Opencore folder. As far as a wifi card. I highly recommend a Dell DW1550. They are about $22 US on eBay. If you don't need Bluetooth, you can get away with a $5 DW1520. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic1337 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm 100% sure im doing something wrong then because I don't get a choice to change the language, mind sending me the tutorial you used for yours? If you used one that is (I ask it doesn't have a Mac because I'm broke that's why I'm making a Hackintosh lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 24, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2021 what guide did you follow and where did you get your bootpack? Since you already have the USB Installer created, you can try replacing your EFI with mine here Use the latest OC 0.6.6 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic1337 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks for the response, I'll try your EFI, appreciate it a lot! this is the video i watched on how to do it, but i also had to cross reference with another video for things like the config and such i had to do the way where you add a folder and call it "com.apple.recovery.boot" idk if there are any other methods that don't require a Mac already but if there is then that's a problem where i'm going wrong out of all places. Well this'll be my last post until someone replies with more help as im now completely clueless, good news is it shows an apple logo, bad news, thats all it shows before it reboot loops im probably still doing something wrong so yeah sorry to those whos braincells I've demolished, hopefully once I've gotten it this one time I can do it more flawlessly in the future lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheousman Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Okay, to clarify. You start off of USB installer, "install macOS Big Sur". Should take about a minute to get you to a menu where you can choose install Big Sur. First you want to click on disk utility, choose your drive, (has to be an SSD), then highlight drive, select format APFS, then you choose install Big Sur. After that it should take about 20 minutes, and the computer will restart 2 or 3 times, then you get to choose language screen, install is almost done at that point. Use Jake Lo's Opencore folder, put both that and the Boot folder on the EFI partition of your usb installer. Make sure your Bios settings are correct before you start.

Classic1337 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 I don't think i have the right big sur installer, I got told to download a recovery thing, also I had formatted it as a APFS but it mentioned something about it needing to be a different type of format instead and it didn't let me continue also I had made sure my bios settings were fine + bios is on latest update so that eliminates that. I'm using Jake Lo's OpenCore folder; issue is it starts fine but just shows a Apple logo and doesn't go from there Update: im too unpatient, it just wasnt showing the process of it loading up, its installing and so far looks 2000x better than it did before, from the cursor not being "laggy" to being able to use APFS format, i appriciate it especially if it works, means alot to me!

Administrators Hervé Posted February 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2021 One has to wonder why you'd follow a guide for AMD Ryzen desktop where the guy clearly states "this will not work for a laptop"... We've got existing guides available for E7x50 in our Guides section and I would suggest you consult them. Eg: https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/8514-dell-latitude-e7450-uefi-only-clover-and-opencore Our FAQ section also contains hints and tips re: making an installer from Windows.

Classic1337 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 as i mentioned, im new to this, secondly i was sleep deprived and thirdly, the only bits i did follow on that video was the creating the boot drive and sth else that i cant remember, fourthly, i didnt know this site even existed at the time it was only when i started researching on what was causing it that i found the site and then i asked, either way ive got it sorted and it works brilliantly, as far as im aware not a single function doesnt work lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
