Realtek RTL8111 not working, says cable disconnected

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Not sure what else to do since the kext seems to be loaded into memory, what am I missing here to get it to work?

I would appreciate any tips!

Nejste si jisti, co jiného dělat, protože se zdá, že se kext načítá do paměti, co mi tady chybí, aby fungoval?

Ocenil bych jakékoli tipy!

Hi .. I have the same problem. My board GA-B150M-DS3H with Intel Core i5-5600, Radeon RX 560 4GB .. I've been looking for 3 days ..
And I also have a problem with booting the system. Even if Clover is installed, Catalina will not start. I also tried to overwrite the data from Install Flash to EFI, but to no avail .. Please help me ... I'm already desperate and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong .. Thanks a lot ..
