Hello,

I'm trying to make my first hackintosh and I'm having a bootloop when selecting my MacOS installer in the OpenCore interface and I need some help.
I'm using the OpenCore 1.0.3 debug version and have made my EFI folder following the guide.
I'm using an iMac with MacOS Monterey to setup my usb booter.
Here, you can find my EFI with all my configuration, my OpenCore log and also a video showing the bootloop occur.
In the (MSI) BIOS, secure boot is unabled, Above 4G memory enabled. The rest is still with default value (can specify other settings if needed).

That's my first post, i tried to respect the rules and give the informations needed, if that's not the case, do not hesitate to tell it to me.

Its not bootloop. The macOS did not even boot.

Your EFI is not as per the guide. Why are you using FixupAppleEfiImages?

You also seem to miss an important quirk for AMD systems which is "ProvideCurrentCpuInfo". You would also need to enable DummyPowerManagement. A few other important quirks are missing as well.

You should consider removing the miscellaneous kexts. The primary goal should be to be able to boot into macOS installer without any hiccups. The rest of the hardware/functionality can be addressed later during the post installation.
 
Ok so I remake my EFI as per the guide trying to have the minimum requirements to first boot macOS but it didn't work.
Here are my new EFI, opencore Log and a picture of the screen.
I just stayed on the photo page for 30 minutes and nothing happened, macos didn't boot.
