Issues with long boot time after updating to macOS Sonoma 14.5 (maybe Wifi/BT related)

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Q: What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

Q: What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Q: Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Q: Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

Hi everyone,

I recently updated OpenCore from version 0.9.5 to 1.0.0 without apparent issues.

Following this, I installed the macOS Sonoma 14.5 update from 14.0 but unfortunately, I have encountered several problems since then:

Long Boot Time: The most critical issue, it seems to get stuck somewhere (possibly related to the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth issues). The sequence is as follows: boot -> the Apple logo -> the loading bar completes -> then the screen goes black for 1-2 minutes before it finally reaches the login screen and everything else works fine.
Bluetooth Issues: My Magic Mouse has limited functionality. Specifically, the scroll wheel feature no longer works.
Wi-Fi Problems: The Wi-Fi is not functioning, and I see the icon with an exclamation mark.

I'm uploading my config.plist for further assistance.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

U need update Wifi drivers

EdoardoConti · May 24, 2024

What you mean by updating the WiFi drivers?

I have already updated to the latest versions of the kexts using OCAT and applied the latest patch with OC Patcher. Is there anything else I need to update or configure? Any specific setting I might be missing?

Thank you for your help!

edit: solved by updating IOSkywalkFamily.kext to version 1.1.0, apply "Modern Wireless" root patch of OCLP 1.4.3 and reboot.
