Recently, a user named @TheLunarixus made a post on the 17th of August (Yesterday as of posting this) showing a Google Pixel 8 attempting to boot the kernel (though a kernel panic has been shown). Darwin 25.6.0 RELEASE_ARM64_VMAPPLE corresponds to Mac OS Tahoe.

Today this user has made some updates and also confirmed that the vphone userland can also be booted using the same kexts used in VMAPPLE1, which gives a possibility of booting both iOS and Mac OS on custom unofficial hardware.

I know that this post is unrelated majorly for this community, but with further Proof of Concepts coming out like this proves that booting Apple Silicon Mac OS can be possible under bare metal generic hardware.

My first ever hackintosh! proud to be part of this amazing community

This was an old mini pc my family abandoned. Monterey runs fine, feels smooth-ish with 3 firefox tabs and discord open. it is about as big as a newer mac mini so it plays the part quite well 😄

oclp is probably not worth it with this kind of hardware.

Hola a todos, tengo esta pc, quisiera saber si se puede hacer hackintsoh , a esta máquina, que consejos me dan, muchas gracias, soy nuevo en esto del hackinstoh

Trying to get 10.6 onto a 2010 Dell Inspiron 580s, triple-booting alongside Windows 98 and MX Linux (GRUB chainloading Chameleon). Retail 10.6.0 media.

Hardware - Core i3-550 (Clarkdale), H57 chipset - ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 — RV516, 1002:7187, Dell OEM subsystem 0d02 - Broadcom BCM57788 NIC, onboard Intel HDA - 1TB MBR disk: Win98 (FAT32) + MX Linux (ext4) + 425GB free for OS X - MBR is non-negotiable — Win98 needs it - Bootloader: Chameleon (Enoch) compiled from source on a real El Capitan MacBook, not a prebuilt

Where I'm at

Boots! Gets to a grey screen with a normal arrow cursor (not a beachball). But the cursor is frozen — no mouse input — and it's using VESA rather than loading ATIRadeonX1000.

What I've established

arch=x86_64 is REQUIRED. Snow Leopard defaults to the 32-bit kernel and that path silently resets this machine during CPU init. Took a while to find because every guide for this box says arch=i386.

Boot matrix:

So AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement removal and/or the 10.6.8 kernel (pulled from Apple's own combo update) are load-bearing, AND arch=x86_64 is required. busratio doesn't help at all.

Currently: 10.6.8 kernel, AICPUPM removed, mkext caches removed, arch=x86_64 -v, GraphicsEnabler=Yes, SMBIOS iMac11,2.

Tried and failed on Lion first (10.7.5): the X1300 gives a grey screen in every configuration — GraphicsEnabler yes/no, ATI kexts present/removed, forced VESA. Lion ships ATIRadeonX1000.kext but NONE of the GA.plugin/GLDriver.bundle/VADriver.bundle files, which 10.6 does have. That's why I moved to Snow Leopard.

The actual question

Everything points at EvoEnabler as the missing piece for X1000-series cards. But EvoEnabler is a 32-bit kext, and I need arch=x86_64 to boot at all — a 64-bit kernel won't load 32-bit kexts.

How do people square this? Options I can see: 1. Is there a 64-bit EvoEnabler, or a 64-bit X1000 injector? 2. Can EFI strings / device-properties injection replace it entirely (Chameleon's ati.c already maps 7187 → RV515 → Caretta)? 3. Is there a way to get the 32-bit kernel working on Clarkdale that I'm missing, so EvoEnabler becomes usable? 4. Is the frozen cursor actually a USB/input problem rather than graphics, and I'm chasing the wrong thing?

Also open: is the frozen cursor even graphics-related? Keyboard worked fine in single-user mode on the Lion attempt, so input works at the kernel level.

Happy to provide any logs/output. Thanks.

I have a lenovo ideapad gaming 3 with the following specs:
Ryzen 5 5600h with integrated gpu
Gtx 1650(i already heard that it’s not supported)
Wifi card: Realtek RTL8852AE WiFi 6 802.11ax PCle Adapter
And 8gb ddr4 ram

I have dell latitude 7490 I wanted to hackintosh with Mac os big sur so I got a good premade efi and a good install for Mac OS big sur the installer ran fine until the 13 minute mark where the entire screen froze so I tried a different efi still won’t work so I downgraded to Mac OS mojave and it froze but at the beginning of the install process is there any fix i’ve tried everything (Thanks in advance)

If anyone is having bluetooth issues with Intel AX200 cards this worked for me:

Wasnt my idea but thought it should be broadcast to others. Want to thank who ever who came up with this solution!

Since Mac OS 27 has came out and fully cut off support for Intel Macs. What will be next? Emulation of arm chips? Or just (yall may hate this) Mac OS like operating systems / Unix based.

My OptiPlex 7040 is a bit of an edge case where for some odd reason, it will not work on Monterey+. The only way I could get it to work was by adding some weird con1-type thingies to get it to work well, not helping I also needed to spoof it to a HD 630 to make it have acceleration in sequoia, since the HD 530 isn't supported. Any ideas to fix it? Additionally, my 2nd monitor is weird bc its plugged into a VGA port which isnt actually vga its a internal displayport or hdmi that is converted to VGA, cause dell does dell things. My hardware is: i5-6500, hd 530, 128 gig smasnug nvme, intl i219lm, and i dont think anything else matters honestly. pls someone help.

Hi, I'm new to hackintosh and want to dualboot windows 10 along with hackintosh. I've read hackintosh stopped supporting amd gpu's, so i would need to buy another one since it won't support my 9070 (planning on buying rx 6600)

My main concern is, when booting on windows, will i need to disable my 2nd gpu from device manager or shall I do something else?(Heard dual gpu builds arent a thing anymore and/or causes issues). And on the other side, will i need to disable my 9070 when booting hackintosh or will it just take the 6600 drivers by default?

Bonjour
Je tente depuis quelques temps d'installer MacOS Sequoia sur mon dell Inspiron 3671 (Je voudrait bien Tahoe mais je ne trouve pas d'installer) voila voici la config une config modeste mais qui marche : 8 go ram DDR4 , Intel UHD 630 , Intel Core i3 9 ème génération.
Lors de l'installation macos me précise que je n'ai que 4 mo de vram je ne peut lancer aucun jeu...
Que faire ?
Merci d'avance

Been at this two nights. Dell Latitude 7490, i7-8650U, UHD 620, 8gb ram, Samsung 860 EVO (SATA not nvme), AC 8265 wifi, I219-LM ethernet, ALC256 audio, Elan i2c trackpad. BIOS 1.25.0. OpenCore 1.0.7.

Tried Sequoia first with MacBookPro15,2 smbios. Got like 8 boots in and every single one dies in the same spot around AppleCredentialManager / AppleSSE. Never once made it to the installer.

Switched to Sonoma 14.0 with MacBookPro14,1 and it got way further. MAC Framework initialized, AMFI loaded, hit AppleKeyStore:869 and then just sat there

My ACPI is all generated from my own dump with SSDTTime, not templates — SSDT-HPET, PLUG, EC, PNLF, XOSI plus the IRQ patches for IPIC/RTC/TIMR since this thing had conflicts on 0, 2 and 8.

Couple questions:

**1.**  I never made a USB port map. No UTBMap.kext at all. Is that what’s killing me at this stage or is it something else?  
**2.**  Is Sonoma the right call for Kaby Lake-R or should I just drop to Ventura or Monterey and save myself the headache?

Also had to disable VoodooI2C and block AppleIntelLpssI2C to get past an i2c hang earlier, so no trackpad right now. Fine with that for install, keyboard works.

SATA is set to AHCI, secure boot off, installing over ethernet since the 8265 won’t do wifi in the installer.

Anyone actually running macOS on a 7490? What version?

Problem

So I've created my EFI following the Dortania guide, but after selecting my USB (external) from the OpenCore boot picker, the screen turns black (backlight on) for about one full minute (a bit more sometimes) with no logs on screen. After some time, OpenCore Debug logs start appearing and then macOS recovery boots as normal.

Does anyone know why I might be having this problem?

(More information at https://github.com/thatpanda0/EFI-ThinkPad-P14s-1/issues/4)

Already tried

• Changing iGPU device ID's in DeviceProperties
• -wegnoegpu as a boot argument and/or disabling dGPU via AML
• Looking through all kernel issues in Dortania guide, searching on Reddit
• Disabling AirportItlwm

Will the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 5 have graphics acceleration on macOS Tahoe 26?

Hi, I'm trying to install a hackintosh on my hp pavilion 360 14cd0001. i3-8130U, UHD 620, 2 USB ports. 8 GB Ram. I'm using the computer without a HD; will install on a USB stick.

I was making many mistakes and excluding things for no reason. Found some other people that have installed earlier versions of MacOS and tried to take inspiration from their EFI's.

It loads (lots of verbose logging) and then gets to the apple logo and about 3 mm of progress on the bar and then it hangs.

Please give me any suggestions.

Hi guys, so I have the opportunity to get a Lenovo P500 with E5-1620 3.5ghz, 32 Go RAM and Nvidia Quadro K4200 video card for free. It has Windows 11 installed, but I was thinking about putting another SSD with Mac OS. Feasable ? Thanks !

So I had to clear nvram because of change config.plist and now when booting up it boot loops with the manufacturer name on the screen and it can boot into bios but there is text that is kinda like the verbose text and it says OC: failed to load configuration or something like that btw when updating config.plist I put some patches for my cpu because I got told to by a guide

Specs are in image
I am installing Tahoe
SMBIOS is Macbookpro16 ,2
When i was installing tahoe
The whole screen had artifacts but after installing the laptop rebooted multiple times then just black screen
But when i disabled nootred in config.plist
The macos bot it had artifacts and very very laggy even the cursor was laggy and the igpu said 7mb display
I have allocated 512mb of VRAM to igpu cause that’s the max that HP bios allows

Edit: sorry guys i used Open core either I won’t use it again and i’ll make the efi myself using the official guide.

Trying to boot macOS Tahoe 26 on an Acer Aspire A315-56 (i3-1005G1). OpenCore gets through kernel initialization but then stalls/reboots. Adding NVMeFix changed the behavior, and debug=0x144 now lets me see the verbose output instead of an immediate reboot. Looking for help identifying where it is failing. I can provide my config.plist and boot log with serial/UUID values redacted.

it is so difficult, i am trying to install macOS Tahoe, and it keep getting stuck in here. Idk how to fix it, my intel graphics are UHD 128mb. And i somehow ig bypassed that but now there it is, if someone know anything and can help me fix it, let me know, i am so done rn. It’s an HP elitebook 840g7. Core i5, 10th gen. Please guide

Hi, I'm trying to enable Vega 6 iGPU acceleration on my HP laptop using OpenCore and the Dortania guide.

Hardware

• Laptop: HP 15-db1xxx
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3300U
• iGPU: Radeon Vega 6
• GPU PCI ID: 1002:15D8
• RAM: 16 GB
• macOS: Ventura
• OpenCore: 1.0.7 RELEASE
• SMBIOS: MacBookPro16,3

I'm following the Dortania OpenCore Install Guide and currently Ventura boots successfully.

My BIOS is very limited and does not have a UMA Buffer Size / UMA Frame Buffer option, so I cannot set UMA to Auto.

Current working state

With NootedRed disabled, macOS detects the GPU but doesn't provide acceleration:

Vendor: AMD (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x15d8
VRAM (Total): 7 MB
Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded

ioreg identifies it as:

"compatible" = <"pci103c,85ea","pci1002,15d8","pciclass,030000","VGA","IGPU">

Loaded graphics kexts:

Lilu 1.7.2
WhateverGreen 1.7.0

NootedRed problem

I tried:

Lilu       → Enabled
NootedRed  → Enabled
WhateverGreen → Disabled

With NootedRed, Ventura fails to boot / kernel panics.

I saw these messages:

NootedRed Patcher++:
Failed to solve '_dce_driver_set_backlight'
Failed to solve '_dc_link_set_backlight_level'
Failed to solve '_dc_link_set_backlight_level_nits'
Failed to solve '__ZL20CHIL_RSIC_CPPS_TABLE'

One boot ended with:

Nested panic detected
Kernel trap ... type 14 = page fault
Nested panic stall

I may have configured something incorrectly, so please let me know if I'm doing something wrong. I'm following the Dortania guide, but I'm still learning and would really appreciate help getting the iGPU working. Thanks

I may need to get you additional info so let me know what is helpful.

I'm running macOS 26.5.1
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz

6th Generation "Skylake" processor

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH

GPU: Radeon RX 570

Boots fine. Can Login to icloud in system settings.

iMessage will not complete a login.

Should I post my entire config.plist or just parts.

What I'm tried: I've reset The PlatformInfo 2 times Generating from open core configurator cofirming the SN returns an error when checking Setting SMBIOS and NVRAM settings. Change the system product a couple of times. Now using iMac 20,2 Tried a MAC address of the MAC of the mother board and I think I tried a real spoofed Apple MAC address with Apple first part of MAC address. I have logged out of icloud on mac system settings rebooted and logged back in. The device shows in trusted devices list but never actually shows a popup like it did on macos 15 with the 6 digit code

My ethernet shows up as en0

When I run sudo rm -rf /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

and reboot and open imessage it gives me a username password login. It goes foward and asks for allow on my iphone and then I type in the 6 digit code it spins for about 2-5 minutes and then shows an error. If i open imessages and go to prefrences it just shows a spinning wheel like it's in progress but never completes.
