Which macOS version would run best on my Hackintosh setup?

I’m planning to install Hackintosh on my system and was wondering which macOS version you would recommend. I’m thinking about going with Sonoma, but I’m not sure if it will run smoothly or if I should consider an older version instead.

My specs:

i5-4590 Processor
16GB RAM
120GB SSD
500GB HDD

Thanks for any advice! :)

Kernel Panic on Lenovo Yoga 530 (UHD 620) with macOS Sonoma – “No mapping exists for frame pointer” during framebuffer init

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to install macOS Sonoma on a Lenovo Yoga 530-14IKB (Intel Core i5-8250U + Intel UHD 620 graphics) using the latest OpenCore.

I generated the EFI with OpCore-Simplify, added the usual kexts (Lilu + WhateverGreen + AppleALC + etc.), did a proper Snapshot, and set SMBIOS to MacBookPro15,2.

Current situation:

• With normal graphics injection (AAPL,ig-platform-id = 00001659 + device-id = 16590000) → immediate kernel panic right after “Darwin Kernel Version” during early framebuffer initialization.

The panic says:

• “No mapping exists for frame pointer”

• “handle_debugger_trap”

• “panic occurred prior to initialization”

Boot-args I’m using:

\-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 -lilubetaall alcid=16

• When I add -igfxvesa it should boot in VESA mode, but I haven’t tested it extensively yet.

What I’ve already tried:

• AllowRelocationBlock = true + standard Booter quirks (DevirtualiseMmio, RebuildAppleMemoryMap, EnableWriteUnprotector, SyncRuntimePermissions)

• Clean config + fresh Sonoma recovery

• Different USB ports

Questions:

1. What is the recommended AAPL,ig-platform-id and device-id combination for UHD 620 (Kaby Lake Refresh) on Sonoma in 2026?

(I saw conflicting suggestions: 00001659, 00001B59, 0900A53E, etc.)

2. Are there any specific framebuffer patches (framebuffer-stolenmem, framebuffer-fbmem, framebuffer-patch-enable, etc.) needed for this model on Sonoma?

3. Any other common causes for this exact panic on 8th gen Intel laptops with UHD 620?

4. Should I try a different SMBIOS (e.g. MacBookPro15,1 or MacBookPro14,1)?

Any help, working EFI examples, or links to recent guides for UHD 620 + Sonoma would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Suggestions Wanted

Hi guys so I bought a 2019 i9 with 16/1TB for really cheap like 350 or so, was this a bad purchase and should I opt for a MacBook Air M1 8/256 instead … Idk but a lot of ppl are saying that I should have taken the M1 but the more RAM and storage made me just get the 16 inch and the display as well.

Let me know what you guys think and sorry if this was a bit irrelevant to the hackintosh community but from so much hate I’m so 😵‍💫
