How to Fix [HELP] How to add boot flags in this case
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:
* Hardware: Acer Aspire 5742
* CPU: P6100
* GPU: not sure
* RAM: 4Gb
* What guide/tool followed: https://www.academia.edu/39050610/How_to_Install_Niresh_macOS_Sierra_on_PC
* What part I got an issue with: soon after booting from USB installer, getting a continuous message Still Waiting for Root Device
* What files/config I am using: Using Hackingtosh-Sierra-Zone.dmg restored to a USB per the instructions above
* Extra Info: guide says "in case of USB device detection failure, your OS X installation flash drive will not work and you’ll be left with a continuous message Still waiting for rootdevice, USBBusFix=Yes may fix it in chameleon"
My question is: to add this boot flag (USBBusFix=Yes), should I edit a file inside this USB installer I created? Is there a tutorial on how to edit these files? Which one? Which software should I use?
Sorry if this is very basic question, first attempt here.
