HELP MacOS Sequoia on Ivy Bridge

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 build Sequoia final version on my Ivy Bridge (i7-3612QM) notebook but at the final boot I am getting the panic error with '/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib' (no such file). I have made the required changes suggested in the community for adding boot arguments revpatch=sbvmm and also changing the SMBIOS to iMac19,1. am I missing something? I am using all latest kext and opencore 1.0.0.

following are my boot args

-v -amfipassbeta revpatch=sbvmm -brcmfxdbg brcmfx-driver=2 brcmfx-delay=9000 keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 -wegnoegpu

and please check the actual image of the error this is the link for that : https://ibb.co/B3K57xy

processor i7-3612QM
notebook lenovo g400s

The same EFI works for building the Sonoma 14.5 without any issues
