Tahoe install failing on same build on which Sonoma & Sequoia installed

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to install macOS 15 Tahoe on my second PC but I keep running into issues during the installation process. The system seems to hang with errors related to “Base System is read-only” and the installer can’t proceed. I’ve tried different config tweaks but no luck so far.

Here are my system specs, which can be seen in previous successful built.

https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/s/3TaT7zuWuk

Providing details again for quick reference: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.0 GHz GPU: AMD Radeon RX 590 8GB RAM: 12 GB DDR3 Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII Ranger (Z97) Audio Codec: Realtek ALC1150 Ethernet: Intel I218V2 Express Gigabit Ethernet WiFi/BT: TP-LINK Archer T3U Plus USB Wi-Fi + TP-Link UB400 Bluetooth USB

What I’ve done so far:

OpenCore 1.0.0 with latest kexts (Lilu, WhateverGreen, VirtualSMC, AppleALC, IntelMausi, USBInjectAll).

Tried iMac15,1 SMBIOS with SecureBootModel = Disabled.

Disk formatted as APFS (GUID).

Checked APFS driver + OpenRuntime.efi are present.

Boot args: -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=1.

The issue: During install, the log keeps throwing lines like:

Error: couldn't mount disk0s1s1 because the volume macOS Base System is read only

And then it just stalls.

Here’s a screenshot of the verbose boot where it gets stuck: 👉

Booting Stuck

Has anyone faced this on Tahoe with Intel i7 4790K + AMD RX590? Am I missing a quirk or specific driver for this chipset?

Any help or shared EFI examples would be hugely appreciated 🙏

Thanks in advance!

I love Hackintosh, but performance and bugs are killing it for me…

Hi everyone!

I’ve installed Sequoia 15.7 on my i7 7700k CPU and RX 570 GPU and so far I’m loving it.

I used OpenCore simplify to create the EFI, added a couple kexts, troubleshooted a bit and voilat! The real, exceptional macOS experience.

Now, since it is not something “official” (I have no other way to call it), support is really limited to forums and guides, so here I am asking you experts for some guidance:

1) How come that every time I boot into macOS, after inserting the password (the lock screen loads up instantly), a black screen with verbose on it appears and it keeps showing strings for at least 5 minutes and after that it needs another 5 minutes before fully loading up the desktop?

2) I wouldn’t say that it performs terribly, but somehow I expected better. For example, when I click the settings it takes a full 10 seconds to open up and clicks are delayed by a couple of seconds. I know that this is probably related to the first question, yet I can’t explain to myself why after 20/30 minutes of usage it becomes faster. Am I missing some performance kext?

3) Bugs: I really didn’t have that much time to test it, but for example my Spotify app that I installed really doesn’t want to load up, meaning that the window would show, but it’s empty.

Config.plist is pretty much brand new, so I cannot find any other reason…

Does Mac OS on a pc allow device continuity?

Edit: Incase this is needed to answer my question;
-cpu is an amd ryzen 7800x3d
-gpu is Msi 5070ti
-mobo is rog strix b850-i

So I have the full Apple ecosystem, Mac, iPad, iPhone, AirPods, the full package basically. My Mac and iPad I use for school, recently I got a pc that’s mainly for gaming, but I also built it for work as well. And honestly windows OS kinda sucks. It’s probably not actually that bad, and I’m just too far gone and used to Mac OS.

The greatest thing about Mac OS is the continuity feature. Seamless integration between ur different devices. Literally my favorite thing about it. AirDrop, file sharing, screenshots between devices, iCloud sync, etc. AirPods multipoint connection between Mac/ipad/iphone is seamless, using AirPods on windows sucks. And yes, it’s obvious that AirPods would work better with Apple devices than windows, it’s not windows fault. I get it, but it still sucks.

Alright I’m kinda ranting, but my main question is if I switch my windows pc to Mac OS, would it be able to integrate into the Apple continuity ecosystem, or is that exclusive to Apple devices only?

ProBook 640 g3 struggle

I'm trying to boot osx Ventura from few different USB sticks on different ports on my ProBook 640 g3 with 'simplify' and recovery image, without success. It mostly stuck at the same point, doesn't matter what change i make with config.plist or BIOS. Please help.

According to 'simplify' everything is compatible, up to Tahoe, except SIM module.

Hackintosh is banned?

Tried to connect my apple account and create apple account, but getting message that there is "unknown error, try again later", I tried that on High Sierra, Catalina, Ventura and Sequoia on different devices and different wifi routers and different internet, what should I do?

EDIT: My friend have the same problem, he had connected account, but today he got his account disconnected and getting the same error

What SMBIOS Do I Use?

SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS: Intel Core i5-6400 CPU, Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 (💔💔💔), 16 GB DDR4 DIMM RAM (Dual Channel), Realtek HD Audio, Realtek PCIe Ethernet, WD_BLACK SN770 1TB NVMe Solid State Drive

GOAL: Get macOS 26 Tahoe running and fully working (Graphics Acceleration, Sound, Ethernet, etc)

DILEMMA: iMac or Mac Pro? I'm leaning more towards Mac Pro for a couple of reasons (the 2019 Mac Pro being closer in terms of release date to my CPU and also being the same year as the SMBIOS that was on my Sequoia install, being iMac19,1), but I'm also considering the 2020 iMac SMBIOS purely because the SMBIOS on my Sequoia install was also an iMac SMBIOS.

Any input is greatly appreciated! :3
