keyboard keyboard not working with AMD installer for Big Sur

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.

I am trying to install Big Sur 11.2 using the installer for AMD 2700x Asus b450 but my keyboard was not registering for me to be able to move cursor to install. I have used the EFI folder from Olarila since the original would give me kernel panic.
My keyboard is a US 102 keyboard. Any idea how I can get the installer to work with my keyboard?

try other usb port

I was thinking of that. I am wondering if the USB mapping is getting mixed up, will try this tomorrow. My machine wouldn't update from Catalina to Big Sur, it would just freeze, I'm guessing from kernel panic but can't seem to get the point where the installer panics. I had Big Sur 11.1 working, but lost it when I was trying to fix a Linux problem. I will try your suggestion tomorrow and let you know what the result is.

I was able to fix the keyboard issue with the installer. But, when trying to update or install Big Sur 11.5.2 I keep getting kernel panics. I had lost 11.5.1 which did install without issue. I have installed the updating/installation log, maybe you can figure it out.

u updated ur efi folder, kexts and kernel patches❓

sevenday4 · August 18, 2021

Yes I did, but I am wondering if I missed something. I'll let you know if I can find the issue. I'm too stubborn to give up.

I have finally succeeded in updating to Big Sur 11.2 on my machine. I needed the AMD kext as well as installing opencore 7.2.

I have a B450m Steel Legend and during the instalation, only usb 3 ports are working. Try to connect your mouse/keyboard only on usb 3 ports.
