Boot failures are most commonly caused by firmware settings, incorrect OpenCore configuration, or USB mapping problems. Here is a structured approach.
Step 1 — Boot with Verbose Mode
Add -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 to your boot arguments.
Step 2 — Check Firmware Settings
Disable Secure Boot, Fast Boot, and CFG Lock. Set SATA to AHCI. Enable UEFI boot mode.
Step 3 — Validate OpenCore Configuration
Run ocvalidate on your config.plist. Use ProperTree to perform a clean snapshot.
Step 4 — Test with a Fresh USB Installer
Recreate the installer on a different USB drive and try a USB 2.0 port.
Expected Results
- Verbose boot passes the previous stopping point
- The installer sees the target disk
- Keyboard and mouse respond during the installer

Original Question: "Frozen at apple logo when trying to install catalina"
I've been following this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/unibeast-install-macos-catalina-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.285366/#create_unibeast and am using the following build:
- Gigabyte Z490 I Aorus Ultra
- Core i3-10100
- Crucial 8 GB
I am using clover with catalina and when I run in verbose mode it stops with the following lines of code:
Err(0xE), 0 @ LocHB 71B4903C-14EC-42C4-BDC6-CE1449930E49
and
LOG:EXITBS:START]
If I turn off verbose mode, it basically just freezes at the apple logo.
This is my first hackintosh build so I don't entirely know what i'm doing, but does anyone have any tips or suggestions for me?
edit: I tried googling around but other people are having the same issues.. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/help-install-stuck-on-apple-logo.308072/
