Hi there, I am on Big Sur with Opencore and Ga EX-58UD3R/ i7920 and GTX 770 and i am using MacPro 6,1. Till now -no_compat_check or everything i tried to use MacPro 5,1 smbios ends to reboot or Unsupported Mac during boot . I tried Opencore and clover.Same results. I saw a lot of videos and guides but all of them are about original MacPro machines and patching BG with Micropatcher or some kind of patch. Is it possible to use Smbios 5,1 with opencore on my build ? Thanks

Yes i did but it didn’t help. It seems only one port to function so for now i attached a hub and plug mouse-keyboard-printer and BT/Wifi Broadcom card on that and it’s working . Not a permanent solution but it did the trick for the moment .I will keep searching and come back for feedback if i come up with a solution Cheers and thanks for your help.

Some good news, i used the restore method, latest opencore and the EFi from my first post (+USBInjectAll.kext) +your DSDT and finally i got BigSur installed on my SSD. The problem now is that my USB mouse doesn't work... Any idea or did you face a similar issue ? Thanks again for your great hep and suggestion to use the restore method, regular installation in my case never passed the 12 minute error and the reboot loop after that.

Ohh thank you so much, Mediafire link works just fine. After the download finish I guess I have to rename raw to dmg ? Is it the same file from the google drive ,I can see that's 13Gb and the other one was 22+? I mean restore method works with this one as well?

Unfortunately Google Drive Creating copy doesn't work for me, and torrent has no seeders. Any other way to reach the files ? Could any BigSur DMG do the work or it's a modified/patched one? If so it would be great if you could re-uploaded some time. Thanks in advance and thanks for your help here.

Thanks for answering and sorry for my bad English I am not a native speaker but I will try my best. So I have downloaded your folder and saw that we have a different DSDT and some kexts but as far as I am concerned that's not the real problem. I am guessing that because the USB stick boots just fine, it's not a DSDT or a config issue.I don't have KP or other errors. I did your suggestion but removing whatevergreen.kext gave me black screen after the usb boot. ( or this kext has nothing to do and i messed up other things during copying?...) By reading your post I came to an understanding that without resolving the 12 minute issue ,I can't go on. And since you did solve it with a kind of trick, I mean without a setting or a kext or something like that I can't do it. I have to find another hackintosh ? or you did it on a real Mac ? (explaining some steps would be great if you may) On Catalina which is the OS I am running now with clover, it did reboot 2-3 times before the end but after the reboot choosing the HDD partition kept the installation going contrary to what I am facing now. Do you have any clue if the 12 minute is an error or it's part of the procedure ( as I've said with clover on Catalina) and the error is the one I am dealing with during the boot with HDD (the one you said related with IOGraphicsFamily.kext ) Needless to say I tried with Clover as well, boot again just fine with the stick, installation just fine...12 minute reboot and then choosing the new partition gave me again the error above. I know too many questions Anyway thanks for your help.

I have a similar build but till now I didn't manage to make it works any help would be appreciated .I am on Ga-EX58-UD3R (differences on our mob I think is only the audio alc888 vs alc889) with an i7-920 LGA1366 and a Nvidia GeForce GT 710 . I am using opencore 0.6.4 ,the usb stick boots just finely am getting in the installer, format the new disk as APFS but 12 minutes before finishing every time, I am getting unable to get fs for /Volumes/MyVolume/Macos install data and then after a few lines in the installer log the system hangs and reboot. So I thought ok, in Catalina as well with clover I was getting 2-3 restarts before the end of the installation and after choosing the new partition the installation kept going. In this case after the restart , I boot from the usb again and i chose the apfs HDD with the name now bigsur installer. Choosing this gives me a kernel panic after a few commands and the system restarts. Photo Here is MYEFI We have very similar builds so maybe it's possible to install BigSur in this old guard.I don't thing it's an EFI issue or opencore config error because the system boots till the installer fine, no error.The installation begins and 12 minutes before the end (at that point boot loader doesn't have a lot to do with the whole procedure ) it fails. I don't want to hijack your thread, shall I open another one ?

I forgot to add my specs on my profile, I think its ok now

Hi there, my hackintosh doesn't shutdown properly so any help would be appreciated . I have a very old build which worked fine till sierra but then i had to change my GPU GTX285, with the Asus GT710 to boot into Catalina. Shutdown pretty much work as restart. Sometimes I can here the PC fans stop and then restart again, or the system hangs and then restarts.I read that most of the times are PowerManagement or usb issues. I run RunMeapp and attach a zip file that may be useful. i hope my whole EFI folder are not a great mess. Can you please help me or give some advise? Thank you RunMe-SendMac
