How to Fix OpenCore stuck in a boot loop during macOS install on an SSD, but not on a HDD.

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:

For some very odd reason, macOS continuously restarts when I install it on an SSD. However when I install it on a hard drive it works perfectly fine. I’m currently using an HP 8300 to install this. Even if I clear the NVRAM or try to reinstall I still get the same result. I’ve never had this issue before (as I’ve done it in the past before). Any help?
