前言
在经历了一系列尝试与调整后，我终于成功地在我的HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini上安装了macOS系统。这篇文章主要记录我的安装过程、遇到的问题以及解决方案，希望能对有类似硬件配置的朋友提供一些参考。
硬件配置
我的电脑是HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini，具体配置如下：
| 硬件 | 型号 |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i5-6600T (Skylake) |
| 主板 | HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini 内置主板 |
| 显卡 | Intel HD Graphics 530 (集成显卡) |
| 内存 | 12GB DDR4 |
| 硬盘 | 500GB HDD |
| 网卡 | 无网卡 |
安装准备
必备工具
- 16GB以上U盘（用于制作安装介质）
- 稳定的互联网连接
- 备份重要数据（安装过程可能会涉及分区操作）
BIOS设置
我首先将BIOS更新到最新版本(2023年版)，这是非常推荐的步骤，因为它提供了更好的兼容性和稳定性。
以下是我在HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini上的详细BIOS设置：
安全相关设置：
- TPM Embedded Security - 设置为hidden
- Intel Software Guard Extension (SGX) - Disabled
- Secure boot configuration - 设置为Legacy Support Enable和Secure Boot Disable
启动选项：
- USB Storage boot - Enabled（确保可以从U盘启动）
- PXE boot - Disabled
- Fast boot - Disabled
- CD-ROM boot - Disabled
- 启动顺序根据个人需求设置
系统选项：
- Turbo-boost - Enabled
- Multi-processor - Enabled
- VT (VTx) - Enabled
- M.2 SSD - Enabled
- Allow PCIe/PCI SERR# Interrupt - Enabled
- 虚拟化选项保持启用，这些设置安全且稳定
内置设备选项：
- Embedded LAN controller - Enabled
- Audio device - Enabled
- Internal speakers - Enabled
- Video memory size - 增加到512MB（这对于黑苹果非常重要）
端口选项：
- 所有端口选项全部启用
可选ROM策略：
- 全部设置为Legacy
电源管理选项：
- 除了"unique sleep state blink rates"外，其他全部启用
远程管理选项：
- 所有选项均禁用
注：如果找不到某些选项，可能是因为不同主板的BIOS界面差异。更详细的BIOS设置可以参考tonymacx86.com上针对特定主板的指南。
OpenCore引导准备
首先，我们需要下载OpenCore引导包。可以从官方GitHub仓库获取最新版本：https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases
下载后，我们会发现OpenCore包含以下几个主要部分：
OpenCore包结构
- Docs：存放OC最新的配置文档、版本更新变化、ACPI示例文件以及Sample.list配置文件模板
- IA32：里面放着32位老机器使用的EFI引导文件
- Utilities：OC官方集成的小工具都放在这里
- X64：里面放着64位目前主流机器使用的EFI引导文件
OpenCore提供了2个配置文件模板，分别是Sample.plist和SampleCustom.plist，通常我们使用Sample.plist这个配置文件。
EFI文件夹结构
EFI部分是OpenCore的重头戏，下面是EFI主要文件夹的作用：
BOOT文件夹
BOOT引导文件夹，包含BOOTx64.efi引导文件。
OC/ACPI文件夹
存放SSDT编译好的文件，格式均为.aml格式。这些文件用于修复和完善ACPI表，确保硬件能够正常工作。
OC/Drivers文件夹
这里放着一些驱动文件，这些驱动均以.efi后缀结尾，OC官方默认提供了多个驱动文件。
OC/Kexts文件夹
这里放着Kexts内核扩展文件，格式均为.kext文件。这些文件是黑苹果能够正常工作的关键，用于驱动各种硬件设备。
Resources文件夹
这里放着OC的第三方主题文件，我个人一直使用官方主题，简约美观。
Tools文件夹
OC小工具文件夹，包含了一些实用工具如CleanNvram.efi和ResetSystem.efi等。
配置OpenCore（针对HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini
对于我的HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini与Intel Core i5-6600T处理器，我需要以下关键Kext：
基础/核心Kext
- Lilu.kext - 核心补丁引擎，许多其他Kext的前置依赖
- VirtualSMC.kext - 模拟Apple SMC芯片，黑苹果必备组件
显卡相关
- WhateverGreen.kext - 用于Intel HD Graphics 530显卡驱动和修复
声卡与网络
- AppleALC.kext - 用于声卡驱动和布局识别
- IntelMausi.kext - 用于Intel以太网控制器驱动
USB与电源管理
- USBInjectAll.kext - 用于USB端口注入
- CPUTscSync.kext - 用于多核CPU时钟同步
- HibernationFixup.kext - 修复休眠问题
其他功能Kext
- NVMeFix.kext - 用于改进NVMe驱动支持
- RTCMemoryFixup.kext - 修复RTC内存问题
- SMCProcessor.kext - VirtualSMC插件，提供CPU温度监控
- SMCSuperIO.kext - VirtualSMC插件，提供风扇监控
ACPI文件配置
对于Skylake平台，我需要以下SSDT文件：
- SSDT-PLUG-DRTNIA.aml - 用于CPU电源管理
- SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml - 修复嵌入式控制器
OpenCore配置工具
如果您使用Windows/Mac系统准备EFI分区，推荐使用：
- OCAuxiliaryTools (OCATs)
- 替代ProperTree的更现代化选择
- 提供图形化界面编辑config.plist
Kexts（内核扩展）是有加载顺序要求的，并且有些 Kexts 之间可能会发生冲突，导致系统无法启动。
尾声
到目前为止，我们已经完成了HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini的基础设置，包括BIOS调整、OpenCore引导准备以及必备的Kexts和ACPI文件。这样，我们的黑苹果系统已经基本具备了启动的条件。
然而，OpenCore的config.plist配置才是决定黑苹果能否正常引导的关键。错误的config.plist可能会导致卡在苹果logo、无法识别硬件，甚至直接黑屏。
在下一篇文章，我将详细讲解如何正确配置config.plist，让你的Hackintosh更加稳定，避免常见问题。敬请期待！
Introduction
After a series of attempts and adjustments, I finally succeeded in installing macOS on my HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini. This article mainly documents my installation process, the problems I encountered, and the solutions I found, hoping to provide some reference for friends with similar hardware configurations.

Note: If you cannot find certain options, it may be due to differences in BIOS interfaces across different motherboards. More detailed BIOS settings can be found in guides for specific motherboards on tonymacx86.com.
OpenCore Boot Preparation
First, we need to download the OpenCore boot package. You can get the latest version from the official GitHub repository: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases
After downloading, we’ll find that OpenCore contains the following main components:
OpenCore Package Structure
- Docs: Contains OC’s latest configuration documents, version update changes, ACPI sample files, and Sample.list configuration file templates
- IA32: Contains EFI boot files for 32-bit older machines
- Utilities: OC official integrated tools are stored here
- X64: Contains EFI boot files for 64-bit current mainstream machines
OpenCore provides 2 configuration file templates, Sample.plist and SampleCustom.plist. We typically use Sample.plist as our configuration file.
EFI Folder Structure
The EFI part is the main focus of OpenCore. Here are the main EFI folder functions:
BOOT Folder
BOOT folder containing BOOTx64.efi boot file.
OC/ACPI Folder
Stores compiled SSDT files, all in .aml format. These files are used to fix and improve ACPI tables, ensuring hardware works properly.
OC/Drivers Folder
This contains driver files, all ending with the .efi extension. OC officially provides multiple driver files by default.
OC/Kexts Folder
This contains Kexts kernel extension files, all in .kext format. These files are key to making Hackintosh work properly, used to drive various hardware devices.
Resources Folder
This contains OC’s third-party theme files. I personally always use the official theme, which is simple and elegant.
Tools Folder
OC tools folder, including useful utilities such as CleanNvram.efi and ResetSystem.efi.
Configuring OpenCore (for HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini)
For my HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini with Intel Core i5-6600T processor, I need the following key Kexts:
Basic/Core Kexts
- Lilu.kext - Core patching engine, a prerequisite for many other Kexts
- VirtualSMC.kext - Simulates Apple SMC chip, essential for Hackintosh
Graphics Related
- WhateverGreen.kext - For Intel HD Graphics 530 driver and fixes
Audio and Network
- AppleALC.kext - For audio driver and layout recognition
- IntelMausi.kext - For Intel Ethernet controller driver
USB and Power Management
- USBInjectAll.kext - For USB port injection
- CPUTscSync.kext - For multi-core CPU clock synchronization
- HibernationFixup.kext - Fixes hibernation issues
Other Functional Kexts
- NVMeFix.kext - For improved NVMe driver support
- RTCMemoryFixup.kext - Fixes RTC memory issues
- SMCProcessor.kext - VirtualSMC plugin, provides CPU temperature monitoring
- SMCSuperIO.kext - VirtualSMC plugin, provides fan monitoring
ACPI File Configuration
For the Skylake platform, I need the following SSDT files:
- SSDT-PLUG-DRTNIA.aml - For CPU power management
- SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml - Fixes embedded controller
OpenCore Configuration Tools
If you are using Windows/Mac systems to prepare the EFI partition, I recommend:
- OCAuxiliaryTools (OCATs)
- A more modern alternative to ProperTree
- Provides a graphical interface for editing config.plist
Kexts (kernel extensions) have loading order requirements, and some Kexts may conflict with each other, causing the system to fail to boot.
Conclusion
So far, we have completed the basic setup for the HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini, including BIOS adjustments, OpenCore boot preparation, and essential Kexts and ACPI files. This way, our Hackintosh system basically has the conditions to boot.
However, the config.plist configuration in OpenCore is the key to determining whether the Hackintosh can boot normally. Incorrect config.plist may cause it to get stuck at the Apple logo, fail to recognize hardware, or even result in a black screen.
In the next article, I will explain in detail how to correctly configure the config.plist to make your Hackintosh more stable and avoid common problems. Stay tuned!
