Hello Everybody. Using opencore 1.0.4 with Sequoia, after some time not using OSX decided to update opencore... After that the boot progress bar was stuck.. On verbose.. well, I post pictures. Tried to use some sanity checker, upgrade kexts, but can't find what the point where I messed it up. Something I noticed is that the system booted to the desktop, but doesn't show on screen, the utility of my keyboard recognizes the light profile of the keys, I have sound, but no image showing the desktop.
Please help.

You need to provide a copy of the EFI folder you are using to boot your Haswell-E system, before anyone can help you.

Just remember to delete the Serial Number and other SMBIOS data (MLB, ROM & SystemUUID) from your config.plist before posting a copy of your EFI here.

Black screen with an RX 6600 (XT) graphics card is normally fixed by adding ‘agdpmod=pikera’ boot argument to the config.plist.
 
Sorry, for some reason the efi zip didn't upload and didn't check the post. Here it is.
The agdpmod=pikera setting was already present.

I will have a look at this when I am at my desk later today.
 
No, I got side tracked with a couple of other things and family life. I will definitely have a look at the folder tomorrow.
 
Your EFI folder is a mess. You have mixed the drivers, tools and the main BootX64.efi and OpenCore.efi from a number of OpenCore releases.

Screenshot 2026-06-08 at 19.04.27.png Screenshot 2026-06-08 at 19.05.03.png screenshots showing the contents of your EFI folder!

As you are using NootRX.kext for your RX6600 XT you don't need the agdpmod=pikera boot argument, it is included in the kext. You should also remove WhateverGreen.kext if you are using NootRX.kext.

Where did you get the SSDT's in your ACPI folder?
Did you create them using your system DSDT.aml?

Your USB configuration is also a mess. You should be using SSDT-EHxx-OFF.aml so the EHC1 & EHC2 ports are pushed to the XHC controller and those two old/obsolete controllers are not used.
I assume the ports under the 8.0.0 USB controller are from a third-party PCIe card you have installed in the case.

How many other OS's do you have in this Haswell-E system?
Can you boot in to the other OS's without any issues?
Do you use OpenCore GUI to select the other OS boot option?

Short of building a completely new EFI folder I am not sure how to help you.
