Kernel panic right after install

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.

Try this one

https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-realtek-network/downloads/

If it doesn't work, try RealtekRTL81xx, RealtekRTL8000SL or AppleRTL8169Ethernet.

"RehabMan-Realtek-Network-v2-2017-0322.zip" is working like a charm, but I'm still having the iMessage/iCloud issue :/

I believe iMessage/iCloud issues are not related to network driver, but to SMBIOS and ROM/MLB values. Use Clover Configurator to generate valid serial numbers in SMBIOS section and ROM/MLB values in Rt Variables.

I've managed to follow some tutorial on youtube doing that but I get this message :

You cannot sign in to iMessage on this Mac at this time.

my Ethernet is on "en0"

No idea then. Are you sure the config changes are applied? I mean, the generated config file is in correct place in boot partition. Also make sure the serials are unique (use "generate new" button).

apparently, a lot of high sierra users are having the same issue, so I'll just wait until someone figure out the problem and share the way to fix, I'm fine now with everything working but that

Thanks a lot for help !
