E6400/El Capitan: panics with seemingly a one line kernel panic

I'm trying to hackintosh a Latitude E6400, and it crashes really early into boot. I believe it's a kernel panic, but I could be wrong because it's way shorter than a normal kernel panic. The panic mentions VoodooInput, so I tried disabling everything related to VoodooPS2, and then got a single line panic log, which I've never seen before. Does anyone know how to fix this? Before someone questions the airportitlwm, I'm using a fork that has support for El Cap.

I don't want to use a prebuilt EFI, and I'd rather keep OpenCore if possible. Yes I know El Capitan is ancient. config.plist is attached as a zip since site doesn't allow me to upload plist files.

 

Panic log with VoodooPS2 enabled:

Try and use kexts from the era of El Capitan; you may refer to guides/threads posted for similar models.

 

As stated in a previous E6400 thread, OpenCore should be avoided on C2D systems since it has no support for power management of those old CPUs. I would recommend you stick to Clover which is perfectly fine and suited to this type of laptops.
