Original Question:
Hello, I am having trouble installing Catalina 10.15.6 on my XPS 9500 (2020). I managed to install it before with my EFI and bootable USB. I tried to install Big Sur after. It worked up until the computer restarted and macOS would no longer boot (says it needs to restart).
I wiped my NVMe SSD twice, disabled my original Windows SSD, and made sure all my boot configs are correct (I followed the dortania guide and this:https://github.com/zachs78/MacOS-XPS-9500-OpenCore).
Right now, I can access OC and boot up the installation USB, which I am met with "macOS could not be installed on your computer", with this as my dump log: https://pastebin.com/Q6475wue
I have no idea why this is not working anymore? My original EFI config is not working, I started from scratch again and even copied a bunch online to test it out. I disabled both my NVMes to try and figure out if they're somehow interfering. Please someone take a look as I am stumped!
