Does anyone know which kext I should possibly use for this board? And with the prebuild empire efi 1.085r2 I always get a kernel panic. I have tried to use cpus=1 but it still doesn't work. Can empire efi make it use a different kernel during boot that works?

So you are going to include Chipset kexts?
It is no problem you can use Mkext Tool by pcwiz to extract and recreate Extensions.mkext & the following command to rebuild the ISO:
sudo hdiutil makehybrid -o custom.iso yourfiles/ -iso -hfs -joliet -eltorito-boot yourfiles/cdboot -no-emul-boot -hfs-volume-name "CustomEFI" -joliet-volume-name "CustomEFI"Sources & Contributor Provenance (2 credited usernames · Thread #6203)
