1 year ago +1. This was causing me problems for hours until I caught a comment mentioning kext order, which got me past some kernel panics I couldn't make sense of.
This issue compounded by the widespread mantra of 'you must use ProperTree', so a section on kext order would be valuable! Thanks
At this point here, where the guide discusses Kext loading and order: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/comet-lake.html#add-3
In the 'More in-depth info' dropdown is the following statement:
A reminder that ProperTree (opens new window) users can run Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R to add all their kexts in the correct order without manually typing each kext out.
This statement is false.
Maybe it's a bug in proper tree, but using CMD+SHIFT+R to add Kexts does not add them in the correct order.
I had three days of troubleshooting before I realised I had been blindly following the information above, and looked at someone else's config.plist to realise the ordering was incorrect. (ProperTree had added everything in alphabetical order from what I could see.)
Maybe not a big deal, but should be updated to help anyone else in future who has used the ProperTree command and messed up their config.plist
