Hackintosh Shop 312 Posted October 14, 2020 There are two legacy bootloader in the High Sierra USB, You could also try booting with Clover After selecting USB as Primary boot device keep pressing number 6. It would boot into Clover bootloader. You might want to add GenericUSBXHCI.kext like previous time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After that i added GenericUSBXHCI.kext folder from your file into /BOOTLOADER/EFI/CLOVER/CLOVER/kexts/Other and /BOOTLOADER/Extra/Extensions and when i booted my laptop in boot section i added -v 6 , But unfortunately i still have a same problem : Still waiting for root device Edited October 14, 2020 by alt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hackintosh Shop 312 Posted October 14, 2020 After some internet research the Pentium T7500 does not support SSE4.1, which is required in MacOS High Sierra. So unless you can replace your CPU with one that supports SSE4.1, you can't run High Sierra on that machine. The latest OS you can run on that machine is El Capitan. When the USB kexts are based on SSE4 it can not be loaded by your processor. It might be causing still waiting for root device error. Please confirm your processor’s Instructions Set. You can try to Install Hackintosh Yosemite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alt 3 Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Thanks for helping. It is possible to install "Catalina" on my laptop?Or i can just install Yosemite? In any case i am trying to download Yosemite 10.10.1 ISO.zip. Edited October 14, 2020 by alt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackintosh Shop 312 Posted October 15, 2020 Hi, The latest macOS versions requires SSE4+ So my advice would be to Install Yosemite. Catalina requires SSE 4.2 so you can not Install on this laptop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
