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.
