Hi I'm trying to install Catalina 10.15.7 using OpenCore 0.6.1 on the following hardware: - Asus z370-a (latest BIOS) - Intel i7 8700k - Rx590 8GB - 2x 8GB 2400MHz DDR4 - 240GB Corsair MP500 PCIe3.0 x4 NVME SSD This machine is currently running Mojave 10.14.6 via Clover 4910 but I want to perform a clean install (wipe the current SSD). I followed the guide on Dortania to create the USB installer including all kexts, config.plist, etc config.plist However, upon booting on the USB installer and selecting "macOS base system (external)" I get a (kernel?) panic (see screenshot) I don't know how to troubleshoot this. Could you please help? NOTES: The following settings are apparently absent from the BIOS and thus I couldn't change them or check whether they are set to what they should: - Parallel port (-> disabled) : there is no parallel port on this MB - Intel platform trust (-> disabled) - Execute disabled bit (-> enabled) - EHCI/XHCI hand-off (-> enabled) : I believe there are only XHCI controllers on this MB Thank you very much in advance for your help Best, -a-

It suggests you might be missing some .aml files in the EFI/OC/ACPI sections, possibly related to AWAC/RTC. The fact that 13 AML tables are successfully loaded indicates you're on the right side of this issue.

Do you have the chance to turn off CFG-Lock in your BIOS? Regarding XHCI Handoff, I activated a feature that releases USB ownership from the BIOS to XNU(ReleaseUsbOwnership). However, if you don’t have the ability to disable CFG-Lock, you can keep AppleXcpmCfgLock and AppleCpuPmCfgLock enabled. If you do have the option to disable CFG-Lock in BIOS, you must turn off AppleXcpmCfgLock and AppleCpuPmCfgLock. Should you have disabled those settings and still fail to boot, try disabling RebuildAppleMemoryMap. Note: use the find option in plist edition to locate these settings inside config.plist. Anyway, here’s the configuration with the changes mentioned earlier. Modified config.plist: Looking closely, I strongly recommend generating SMBIOS info for PlatformInfo using the GenSMBIOS script from corpnewt to create a serial and the rest needed for a proper Mac that can access iServices (iMessage, Siri, AppStore, FaceTime, etc.).

You've turned off the CFG-lock in BIOS. I followed the suggested steps: disabled the relevant settings and released USB ownership. Still no changes.

I received this file to see if it works with the installer. There are many variations compared to the one I made using the OpenCore guide on Dortania. Could you help identify the key differences?

Found it! I had to turn on EnableWriteUnprotector even though the instructions suggest against it. The memory map rebuild option doesn’t appear to matter.
