seems your system is very old. If you are using efi instead of bios, you are still in luck. amd builds however, usually have a hard time with hackintosh. head over to tonymacx86 dot com

Hi, trying to install Mojave on my dell laptop (Intel skylake CPU with dual GPU - intel HD 530 + nVidia quadro), but at the final stage of booting from my SSD, I get stuck with the attached error. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Tf is wrong with you and why are you being rude? I created this thread, and I just wanted to be sure if you are not the other guy that commented on the thread for assistance when you posted your specs, as you can see clearly that I asked him to post his brand and model. You could have said no instead of mouthing off.

Good luck!
