[HELP] Boot hangs after "Couldn't alloc class AppleKeyStoreTest" - i7-10750H/GTX1660Ti Ventura

[Noor Elsayd]

Hi all,

Working macOS Ventura SSD from Laptop 1, moved to Laptop 2 (fresh EFI via OpenCore Simplify). Need help with a boot hang.

Specs (Laptop 2): HP, i7-10750H, Intel UHD 630 (iGPU) + GTX 1660Ti (dGPU, disabled), SMBIOS MacBookPro16,1, macOS Ventura 22.6.0.

Already fixed: an early Kernel Panic (vm_packing_pointer_invalid in PE_init_iokit) caused by VoodooInput.kext being injected twice (both VoodooPS2Controller and VoodooI2C plugins enabled). Disabling the PS2 one fixed the panic.

Current issue: the boot now hangs (not a panic, just freezes, fans still on) right after this in verbose mode:

AppleCredentialManager: probe: probed KE[1] (ready=NO) -> true (score=0).
Couldn't alloc class "AppleKeyStoreTest"
[freezes here, no further output]

Tested and ruled out (each isolated separately):
- All ACPI SSDTs/Patches disabled -> same hang
- Adding CpuTscSync.kext -> made it worse (earlier hang)
- Adding ECEnabler.kext -> no effect either way
- USBInjectAll instead of USBToolBox/UTBMap -> same hang


Attaching both EFIs (old=working on Laptop1, new=hanging on Laptop2 with OpCore-Simplify-main).
