Hi,

I am trying to install Tahoe on an Intel i7-14700KF CPU. I previously did this successfully using this EFI https://github.com/Stick-Study/Universal-EFI-for-Intel-Hybrid-Architecture from this BarTech TV tutorial:
(note that the author of the Github EFI and the tutorial are two separate people).

The EFI's author recently published an updated version with OpenCore 1.0.5 and support for Tahoe, so I tried to do what I did when installing Sequoia. However I can't even boot into macOS Installer. I can select the "Install macOS Tahoe" option from the OpenCore picker, but then it gets stuck (see attached image) at some ACPI step.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? I'm assuming there's some step I'm missing since the original tutorial I followed was for Sequoia (even though the EFI on Github has been updated for Tahoe), but not sure where to start.

Thanks!
