HP Z600 (desperately) trying Big Sur Opencore


Recommended Posts

Posted

Greetings Maldon! It's a stretch but I've wanted to upgrade this old beast from High Sierra (Clover) to Big Sur. Am hopeful that Opencore is possible, but cannot boot with this EFI. I have created the installer via USB-SSD and am trying to boot the Z600 off of the SSD via Sata or the internal slots. Any assistance and guidance would be most appreciated. Thank you very much!

Maldon, I've tried your Clover (Nehalem) EFI w/ Big Sur. Verbose completes to a black screen, however my monitor stays on. I have tried -igfxvesa, with the same result. Thanks.

Maldon, thank you for your patience. I figured out how to get this machine booting with OC using the boot install command on the installer drive. I've gone back to using the initial EFI in this post.  I'm still booting to a black screen with the display staying on. I've tried DP, DVI and HDMI. I've also tried with -igfxvesa. Any thoughts? Thanks again.
