Please note - EFI is just for reference, kexts etc. may not be current.
Replaced the failing Broadcom BCM94360CS2 WiFi/BT PCIe adapter with a Fenvi FV-HB1200. Works perfectly right out of the box.
All of a sudden I had the dreaded 'Couldn’t allocate runtime area' boot error, after months of trouble free hackintoshing. Despite a variety of slide values calculated from a memmap output, nothing seemed to work. I tried disabling a few things in the BIOS (LED lighting, USB legacy support, etc) but nothing fixed it. I finally disabled the iGPU and the system booted fine again. Owing to that, I've now changed to iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS and all seems well again - power management looks to be fine, previews work great and us the dGPU, as does video encoding, Premiere Pro, etc. I updated Clover and some kexts that had updates too before upgrading to macOS 10.15.2 which is running great so far...
Updates for 10.15.4 and NVRAM support, everything is latest and greatest, still working perfectly.
Updates for 10.15.4 supplemental update
