How to change partition name in OpenCore boot picker?

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

  1. Boot with -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 to identify the exact kernel panic.
  2. Validate your config.plist using ocvalidate.
  3. Ensure your EFI matches the Dortania guide specifications for your CPU generation.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

Hi everyone! I decided to Hackintosh my laptop recently and, with the help of a friend, I got it working! One little thing though - after installing macOS, I changed the name of the partition (both "[partitionName]" and "[partitionName] - Data"), but the OpenCore boot picker still shows the old name. My friend told me to try running sudo diskutil apfs updatePreboot / - I did that, and it said something along the lines of 'operation complete'. But then I rebooted and I still see the old name in the OpenCore boot picker. How can I get it to change?
