Mojave won't boot from ssd

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.

Hi! I have a problem with boot macOS from ssd. I followed this tutorial "Hackintosh Guide - Install MacOS with Vanilla Olarila Image"(legacy bios). When I try to boot from ssd it gives me this error: https://prnt.sc/10fg7lv

But when I booting from USB it works. I tried to replace config.plist from EFI USB to EFI SSD, but that not worked, I got same problem.

Thanks for support.

I solved the problem by reinstalling clover. This time I downloaded this version Clover_v2.4k_r4972 and I selected these settings for Legacy Boot:

Select Install Clover in the ESP - Do not select CLOVER for UEFI Booting only.
Select Boot Sectors> Install boot0ss in MBR
Select Clover for Bios (legacy) booting> Clover EFI 64-bit SATA
You do not need to worry about any of the other selections, as these will be set by your existing CLOVER folder contents.
Continue to Install CLOVER in Legacy Mode.

After that I copied the CLOVER directory from EFI on USB and replaced it instead of the CLOVER directory from EFI on SSD and I succeeded!

Now I need to solve a problem with audio driver. Maybe I will open new post :D.
