How to Fix Hackintosh does not boot after install

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:

I successfully installed hackintosh on T480, but the problem occurs after I remove bootable flash, it won't boot. I see black screen for 20 sec and then I see some menu with ability to choose boot source. Neither of provided(Ubuntu, OpenCore, Widnwos,...) are working. Once I plug in the usb and reboot the pc, I am getting apple menu, the same one that is displayed if you hold option key.

can you please help me to fix this issue?
thanks :)
