How to Fix OpenCore 0.6 / Yosemite Installer Not Booting

Boot failures are most commonly caused by firmware settings, incorrect OpenCore configuration, or USB mapping problems.

Quick Fix Steps

1. Boot verbose: Add -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 to see where the boot process stops.
2. Check firmware: Disable Secure Boot, Fast Boot, and CFG Lock; set SATA to AHCI; enable UEFI mode.
3. Validate OpenCore: Run ocvalidate or ProperTree clean snapshot to catch config errors.
4. Recreate installer: Use a fresh USB drive and try a different USB port.

Verification

• Verbose boot passes the previous stopping point.
• The installer sees the target disk.
• Keyboard and mouse work during recovery.
