Unable to finish Catalina install - ASUS z490 & i5 10400 with iGPU

Can someone give me some advice on this current install? I'm using "EFI for Catalina" from @Middleman and I can't seem to finish. The install gets to about 2 minutes left and then restarts. I attached an image below of the message that flashes before restarting. After it reboots, if I select my Samsung SSD I am installing to, it will throw up what I'm guessing is an error (2nd image attached). I keep getting that same error if I continue selecting my SSD drive at boot.

How to Prepare for Big Sur

As many people have been running system-definitions - the model of Apple Mac your Hackintosh is emulating - which will no-longer be supported under Big Sur, if you would like to upgrade when the time comes you will need make some changes to your config.plist.

I've been happily running system-definition iMac14,2 for many years but this is an old Mac model which will not be supported going forward with Big Sur. So I need to prepare now.

To get this thread started I'll show you what I...

AMD Radeon RX 580 Updated preparing for BigSur - Opencore update.

It's been a long time since I immersed myself in this world. I needed to upgrade from high sierra, but then pandemic times came, there was no GPU available and I had to stick to the issues with the old software, but NOW, finally! I already changed my GPU to a Radeon RX 580 and I'm preparing for the os update (I'm scared! hahaha).

First, I need to change my system definition (Clover), from iMac 14.2 to iMac 15.1

I have some guides here to follow, but I need to know how I can backup my boot...

Random OCB: Start Image Failed...at startup

Hello my catalina system is working quite well, however I randomly have this message at statup (screen attached)... a little stressful, has anyone experienced this before ?

Here are some general steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

Check Your Config.plist: This file contains all the settings for OpenCore. Ensure that it's properly configured for your system. Using a tool like ProperTree or OpenCore Configurator can help validate your configuration.

Update OpenCore and Kexts: Make sure you're using the latest version of OpenCore and that all your kexts (kernel extensions) are up to date. Sometimes, issues are fixed in newer releases.

Verify Boot Arguments: Check the boot arguments in your config.plist to ensure they're appropriate for your system and there aren't any typos or incorrect settings.

Check ACPI Patches: If you're using any ACPI patches, make sure they are correct and necessary for your system.

NVRAM Reset: Sometimes, clearing NVRAM can resolve boot issues. You can do this from the OpenCore boot picker if you have the option enabled.

Review the OpenCore Guide: The OpenCore Install Guide is an invaluable resource. Review the guide to ensure all steps were followed correctly for your specific system.

Seek Help from the Community: Hackintosh communities like r/hackintosh on Reddit or forums like tonymacx86.com and InsanelyMac can be very helpful. Provide them with details about your hardware, your OpenCore version, and the steps you've taken to troubleshoot.

Feedback and Suggestions for Mojave Build Upgrade

Hi there. I am currently on Mojave 10.14.5 and more and more sites and programs are telling me nothing under 10.15 will be supported. Safari stopped working on a ton of sites long ago, Plex as well, Chrome just popped up the other day saying no more upgrades, etc. This computer used to be my daily driver, Plex server, and security center, and now it's just a Plex server as my M1 Mac Mini does my daily driver stuff.
