How to Fix Someone... Please... I need Help
This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites
- Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
- Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
- Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.
Original Question:
I have spent over 40 hours trying to get this to work. Please someone smarter than me tell me what's wrong.
- Installing Big Sur
-Xeon X5650
-Chinese x58 MOBO
-Nvidia GTX 650Ti
I can get to the install screen fine, format my drive and start the install. It will run through the install, but after the the first reboot and I select the new macOS bit on the OC booter, it will run some more verbose script, then the apple logo again (appearing like it's installing), but then turns off. I thought it was just installing fine but needed help rebooting manually, but it is definitely in a loop as it cuts out at the same place every time and I've rebooted it 10+ times.
