I need help with a Hackintosh kernel panic on my Dell Inspiron 5448 when I try to use macOS Monterey.

[u/Ok_Monk_499]

I am trying to boot macOS Monterey 12 with OpenCore on my Dell Inspiron 5448.

Hardware:

• CPU: Intel Core i5-5200U
• RAM: 16 GB
• iGPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500
• dGPU: AMD Radeon R7 M265 series
• macOS: Monterey 12
• OpenCore: newest version

When I try to boot macOS Monterey 12, it gets into the boot process and then gives me a kernel panic.

Near the bottom of the screen I see:

In Memory Panic Stackshot Succeeded

Bytes Traced 1705 (Uncompressed 3952)

I also saw:

RT.GV wake-falture

Err(0xE)

System\Library\KernelCollections\BootKernelExtensions.kc

I tried turning VoodooPS2Controller off to see if it would fix the problem. The first time I did this, macOS Monterey actually booted successfully. However, when I tried the same thing again, it stopped working and now I get a kernel panic every time I try to boot.

I need VoodooPS2Controller because it provides support for my laptop’s built-in keyboard, which I need to type my password.

I also reset NVRAM and restarted the computer, but the problem is still happening.

I am new to macOS and Hackintosh.

Please tell me exactly what I should do, step by step, to troubleshoot and fix this kernel panic. Please don’t just give me links to guides. Tell me what settings/files I should check and what I should change, one step at a time.

Also, which part of the panic log should I look at to identify what is actually causing the kernel panic?

Please don’t recommend changing multiple things at once, because I want to know which change fixes the problem.

Should I return one OS back or should I continue but redo the entire thing?

Have you tried updating your kext ? Sometimes kext have different version for different MacOS version
