Need help OC Sonoma installation.
I’m trying to run macOS Sequoia installer using OpenCore on an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (ASUS ROG X870E-E Gaming motherboard, 64 GB RAM, RX 6900 XT).
I’ve gotten to the point where it shows the picker for the Mac and Windows partitions to boot, and reset NVRAM, etc., but it keeps hanging during the boot process. I am enclosing copies of the verbose output, config.plist, the OpenCore output file and EFI folder.
I definitely need help fixing this. Thank you.

Two Windows boot options showing in OpenCore boot picker
Hey everyone,
I’m facing a weird issue with my Hackintosh on a Dell Optiplex 3070 Mini PC — in the OpenCore boot picker, I’m seeing two separate Windows boot options even though I have only one Windows 11 installation. Please check attached snapshot for OpenCore boot picker menu.
BootPicker Menu
The highlighted one is a dummy Windows logo which restarts and loops it back to picker menu. The second one is the correct one.
How should I proceed with it to correct this one. My OpenCore Boot EFI is present in Windows Partition and mac EFI is present inside Windows EFI to make single EFI file to boot both Windows & macOS.
I've used below command to make this combined EFI work.
CMD dual boot Command used in Windows
1.> bcdedit
2.> bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \\efi\\boot\\bootx64.efi
Thank you in advance for your help in this regard.

Post Install: Resolution is only starting at half of the native display resolution.
Ive had my hackintosh a while now, but after recently tunring on secureboot and setting that up, my macos is starting up at 30hz either 1080p or 720p with hdmi or displayport cables
upon unplugging and replugging them in, everything works fine and jumps to 1440p 144hz but i cant figure out how to get it to just start at this resolution.
any help or ideas are appreciated!
im using a msi b560 with a rx 550 disguised as a 560 with the plist

2x xeon 6154 gold - Dell 7820 - working but very poor performance
Hey all,
This my first xeon build. But I have hacked many i series chip builds with good success.
I have a persistent kernel_task (in activity monitor it shows around 70% CPU and overall cpu user usage is around 3-4% at idle. Any task seems to overwelm the system making it clunky.
It seems like it has a issue with real time processing.
I am to use this machine for a DAW (digital audio workstation). On other machines (with far less cores) a mixing session uses approx 50% of DSP (digital signal processing - real time) - on this dell it is max'd out at 97 to 100% on the same session and mouse movements and clicks are extremely slow .
At this point I have no idea where to start to sort this out. I have searched (and read and re-read opencore instructions) for months trying to sort this out.... I Would really appreciate help from someone with experience in dual xeon skylake configs.
Specs:
Dell 7820 tower
Dual Xeon 6154 gold (Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors - Products formerly Skylake) - Hyperthreading is off. 36 cores total.
128 GB ECC ram
AMD WX 7100
macOS - Sequoia
128 GB ECC ram
Some of the things Ive tried (without improvement):
Single CPU config
MacPro 7,1 and iMacPro 1,1 SMBIOS
SSDTime
CPUfreind.kext - fails to build despite following the directions (doesnt mean i didnt screw something up though haha)
CPUdataprovider.kext and CPUfriendfriend.kext - build fails
CPUTSCsync.kext
Multiple EFI configs from others with xeon builds.
Many diff kext configs - even minimum kext's - updated kexts
resetNVram - many times between kext changes.
Current Kext in working config (but with very poor performance-using minimum kexts did not help)
Airportitlwm.kext
AppleALC.kext
AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext

got Mac OS 11 running, can I upgrade to 12?
so I got Mac OS 11 running on my pc with open core simplify, compatibility check said its fully supported up to 26 with open core, and without it can go up to 12, i tried from 10.15-15 and I only got 10.15 and 11 to work and install, 12 restarts moment before entering the setup, and the rest just kernel panics, now idk if open core is the fault for 13-15 but I just couldn't get them to work. rn 11 is installed and fully working, but I got a pop up for a update to 12, is it safe to do that update? or will this brick my install?
