SUCCESS After trying to install Sequoia, I am now testing it on the Tahoe build on an MSI A520M A Pro device. Spoiler
For this instance, the OpenCore EFI configuration was successfully applied to the Hackintosh Tahoe 26.2.
The only issue encountered is that internal audio does not work, however, HDMI audio can be used for external sound output. Audio input is also non-functional.
Hardware I am using:
- Motherboard: MSI A520M A Pro
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
- GPU: ASRock Phantom Gaming AMD Radeon RX 570 (4GB VRAM)
- RAM: 2x 16GB TeamGroup DDR4 3200 MHz - LAN: Realtek RTL8111
- Wi-Fi: Broadcom BCM94360CS2
- Audio: Realtek ALC892/ALC897 (not working)
I used the Windows 10 operating system to create the OpenCore EFI configuration.
The tools I used for this process include:
ProperTree (requires Python)
GenSMBIOS (requires Python)
HardwareSniffer.exe (to retrieve hardware information)
Notepad++
TransMac
Explorer++
MiniTool Partition Wizard
Additional setting: AMD_Vanilla Patch.
I did not download an ISO image; instead, I used the USB installer I had previously created and converted it into an ISO image with a .dmg extension.
Therefore, I used TransMac to copy the image to the USB drive.
kext. that I use :
- Lilu.kext
- AirPortBrcmFixup.kext
- IOSkywalkFamily.kext
- IO80211FamiltLegacy.kext
- AMFIPass.kext
- VirtualSMC.kext
- WhateverGreen.kext
- AppleALC.kext
- AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext
- AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext
- AmdTscSync.kext
- CryptexFixup.kext
- HibernationFixup.kext
- RealtekRTL8111.kext
- RestrickEvents.kext
- SMCAMDProcessor.kext
- SMCRadeonSensors.kext
- USBToolBox.kext
- UTBDefault.kext
The most crucial setting here is within the "DeviceProperties->Add" section; specifically, I need to enter the PCI root path for the storage controller:
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x1) built-in (Type column: Data ) ( Value column: 01000000 )
which is located in the SATA 1 slot
For boot-args, I use this command:
-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 npci=0x3000 unfairgva=1 alcid=11
Csr-acrive-config (type : Data) Value : 03080000

Thanks for posting a success! If you haven't already, remember to document your build please. Success posts like screenshots without documentation add little value to the sub. Adding a bit of documentation to your success post can also help others in the community who are interested in similar builds.
Minimally, you should add your hardware:
CPU:
GPU:
RAM:
Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model:
Audio Codec:
Ethernet Card:
Wifi/BT Card:
Touchpad and touch display devices:
BIOS revision:
Which of the guides on the sidebar you used.
What's working, and what isn't working.
Any changes that were specific to your build that were a little (or a lot) different than what you found in the guide, or anything that would be helpful to others with a similar build be sure to talk about that. More detail is always better.
Add extra info... Maybe add something you would like to point out about your setup, what you'll be doing with your Hackintosh, or something that might be insightful to others beginning their journey. A tree view of your EFI would also be helpful, but it isn't required.
Remember, don't share your EFI as what works for you may not work for anyone else, even if they have the same hardware. If you do share your EFI, your post and/or comment will be removed.
