Hello guys,
i followed the tutorial of nicksherlock to install catalina on Proxmox using opencore.
Unfortunately it doesnt get past the Apple Logo, instead it reboots after loading about 50 Percent. Now im stuck in a bootloop.
Can you help me?
My CPU is a i5 3570, I dont have a GPU.

The error could also relate to the Configure Proxmox Section of this guide. Thanks for your Reply
I'm having a similar issue with boot dying at the apple logo. the progress bar gets to a certain point then the halt and support.apple.com/mac/startup URL.
Worth noting - in my config, the VM will not start and the status message says:
kvm: -device usb-kbd,bus=ehci.0,port=2: Bus 'ehci.0' not found
TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1
I can remove that line and the VM will start.
My config:
args: -device isa-applesmc,osk="ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" -smbios type=2 -global nec-usb-xhci.msi=off -global ICH9-LPC.acpi-pci-hotplug-with-bridge-support=off -cpu host,kvm=on,vendor=GenuineIntel,+kvm_pv_unhalt,+kvm_pv_eoi,+hypervisor,+invtsc

Edit: I got further by updating my args to:
args: -device isa-applesmc,osk="ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" -smbios type=2 -device usb-kbd,bus=ehci.0,port=2 -cpu host,kvm=on,vendor=GenuineIntel,+kvm_pv_unhalt,+kvm_pv_eoi,+hypervisor,+invtsc
and added machine type to q35
looks like it's installing!
The machine model changes the layout of the built-in emulated devices like the PCI bus, plus a bunch of other platform settings. It's like choosing a motherboard generation.
With the much older and cruder i440fx model, things look quite different and buses have different names, I don't think macOS likes it either.
Hello,
I have a similar issue, like estebanSmith, when i try to boot my VM with OS X Catalina.
Here is the "qm config 102":

Could anyone help me fix this problem?
Kind regards.
I’m facing an issue following the installation guide. I used the Ventura-Recovery.iso because the Full Version was too large for me. I was able to create the VM and run the macOS installer successfully.
However, when I click on the formatted HD to start macOS, it shows the white Apple logo, and then the VM restarts.
I’m not sure what I need to do next, and I also don’t know exactly where to upload the files for
CryptexFixup.kext
.
My server is an HP ProLiant with the following specifications:
CPU(s): 12 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5645 @ 2.40GHz (1 Socket)
Kernel Version: Linux 6.8.12-5-pve (2024-12-03T10:26Z)
I’ve done everything and followed this exact guide. Every time after installation, when I click on the Mac HD to boot into macOS, it shows the white Apple logo, and the VM restarts, bringing me back to the same point again."

I was able to successfully install and run MacOS Monterey. Then I tried to install Ventura as an iso file from the recovery. The installation worked perfectly. But now when I click on the MacOS HD to start it, I get this boot loop again. What should I do?
