OpenCore 0.7.3 Install USB Boot Error on Z390 Designare, i9 9900k, 5700XT

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 have a problem with my BigSur and Catalina OpenCore Install when booting from USB drive, I get ''OC: grabbed zero system-id for SB, this is not allowed. Halting on critical error.

I already changed my Bios settings as in the guide and other comments [ Disabled Fastboot and Secureboot ]. I also put Vault to Optional.

I'm confused to what is the cause of this since I followed the Guide to the letter . I am using Opencore 0.7.3. I tried Opencore 0.6.6 same issue. I also downloaded the premade EFI for Coffee Lake on Olarila useful links but also not work. I'm currently on Olarila Clover Catalina 10.5.2 Beta 2. I have 2 USB drives [ one with BigSur. other Catalina ] and want to install Opencore on a different 256GB SSD to test.

Mobo: Gigabyte Z390 Designare
CPU: Core i9 9900k
GPU: Red Devil RX 5700 XT 8G GDDR6
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB x2 = 32GB
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 1TB M2 x2 [ one for Windows / one for Mac OS ]
PSU:Cooler Master V750

Here is my EFI : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1R7-ZDnX86yJvYEDeA43RjE3JZ3udBF8M?usp=sharing

Thanks a lot for the help.
