Hackintosh on Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2

[Puba Cajhen]

Hello, I get a wild idea to install mac osx Catalina on my grandfatherish GA-P55M-UD2 motherboard with 16 GB of RAM, i5 760 Intel CPU and Radeon RX 480 graphic card. Is this hardware compatible to do that such a thing and what setup is recommended for installing it? Thanks in advance for your answers and suggestions.

Hi, I could install macOS Monterey in the same motherboard but with different CPU and GPU. Check my GitHub repository and see if it can help you.

Edit: If you install macOS Catalina instead of Monterey, it's much more easy to make it work I spent lots of hours making my hackintosh work with Monterey.

Well, I'm not sure about the clover version (because I used OpenCore mainly), when I installed macOS Catalina I used the EFI which was in the premade image and then I modified it with kexts to make some things work. You can try using the Opencore EFI in the GitHub link I shared with you and see if it works on catalina, if it does please tell me and I can add the compatibility in my repository.

Tried to boot the osx from USB, but got graphic error, 0x3(0x51) and unspopported cpu error, than monitor just got blank with no activity at all. Is this solvable ?

Are you using Clover or OpenCore? And you are trying to install Catalina, right? Check if you have injected intel graphics or ATI or nvidia option enabled. If yes, disable it because you GPU is natively compatible.

Tried with Clover, like MaLd0n suggested, injection of intel, ATI, nvidia graphics are not enabled. Will try open core installation with your efi folders in it. The operation should be done like so:

1. make bootable USB with Catalina installed

2.  mount EFI folder

3. copy your efi folder inside it

4. make necessary changes with open core configurator

5. boot to installation

Probably I missed something. Thanks for help, appretiate it.

Gave up with opencore, give it a try with clover, no joy, this time got panic

error

Was wondering if this errors/exeptions are caused by incorrect/old  BIOS version ? Vhich BIOS version are you running on your motherboard?

Tried to install Olarila Catalina raw image with @ru379 efi folder. Open core install picker menu shows up, with four menus, the first one shows olarila catalina external, choose that, monitor screen  shows apple logo, and after few seconds reboots system. Yelp ?
