sambow23 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hey, I've been trying to boot the macOS Catalina installer for some time now but always been getting stuck on the following message at the end of the OpenCore boot process. 09:366 00:035 AAPL: [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] 2021-08-15T07:54:09 I've made sure to turn off any problematic settings in the BIOS according to the Dortania Laptop Comet Lake guide (including MSR and CFG-Lock) EFI.7z opencore-2021-08-15-075346.7z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambow23 Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 That got it to boot into the kernel! Though it seems to be getting stuck either on Thunderbolt (which is completely off in the BIOS), or the ACPI errors) I was able to eliminate the ACPI errors by using the correct .aml's from Dortania (was previously using ones created by SSDTTime) Though it's still stuck in the same spot of the boot process.

sambow23 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Any suggestions? I haven't really found any information to figure out why it hangs here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambow23 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Your EFI got stuck in the [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] part again, but the moment I placed the Cpuid1Data and Cpuid1Mask values into the config.plist it booted into the installer! Time to enable the NVME drive and see if it installs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
