Hello,

My name is Samuel, I live in Germany, and I've been a Mac user since 2012 (MacBook Pro).
I've made successfully a intel hackintosh in the past (2013), but looks like a loot has changed.

I'm trying to make a hackintosh from a cheap AMD laptop that is giving me trouble now:
Lenovo ideapad S145
AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
AMD Radeon RX Vega 8
RAM: 8Gb
Storage: NVME 256Gb

Using proxmox and qemu I maged to do it, but now I want to have it running on metal.
ATM I'm fighting to create a instalation USB.
The process gets stucked at [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] (it's the last entry on the log file, even tho it usually goes a bit further before rebooting).

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello and Welcome to EliteMacx86!

Please provide the EFI you're using to boot.
 
Thank you for having me!

Sure, here it goes.

I know that vega support is still in the very early stages, I'm not sure if I should use NRed for the instalation, or just after that (and keep WhateverGreen until there).

Anyway it fails before the GPU is loaded (I guess?)

I extracted those SSDTS and mapped the USB ports.
My motherboard seems to not support MAT (it shows 0).
Whitelisting MMIO regions didn't work too.

Thank you

Your configuration is not as per the guide.

Start here:
 
Thank you, I'm reading the guide now trying to find where could be the problem.

Can you give me a clue? Or is it so wrong that starting from the beginning is better?

Starting from the scratch is better!

@SamThing issue was resolved on Discord.

Your configuration is not as per the guide. Pay attention to the Booter Quirks.
