1slickvdc Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I'm about to start trying out OSX on my Lenovo Yoga 2, and I'm wondering if DSDT/SSDT patches/mods are required or would make things considerably easier. I'd like to figure this out before I go for installing it, because I'm going to go 'go for broke' and blow out my Windows OS before I try this, and therefore will have difficulty pulling the tables once I do that. I have the base model Yoga 2 with the Pentium N3520 (with only the integrated graphics), 4GB of RAM, a 250GB SSD, and an Atheros 956x wireless card. Any tips, tricks, ideas, or "don't attempt"s?

1slickvdc Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Man, I'm lazy and impatient. That takes too long... There's also a lot of chaos out there and a thread having 20 people asking questions about 35 different computers. I tried this on my old Aspire V3-771G and it was a pain in the ass. Totally trying not to sound like a prick, but I like avoiding chaos and confusion, especially when it leads to stuff not working. I also saw nothing about this particular model, or Yoga models in general, hence a new topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1slickvdc Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 The biggest problem I'm running into is that there is absolutely no way to boot in a "legacy" mode, only UEFI bootable. Also, clover doesn't seem to want to work at all. On a verbose boot it hangs at "root device uuid = (etc)". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSR333 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Is your Yoga 2 the one with an ultra-high-resolution 3200x1800 screen? If so, what is your integrated graphics processor? If it is an Intel HD 5000/5100/5200, keep trying and ask around. Should work. If it is an Intel HD 4600, nothing doing... It has been attempted on several other machines with similarly high resolutions (i.e. 2014 Razer Blade) and the screen just doesn't work with the HD 4600.

1slickvdc Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Sorry for the long "vacation". No I've got the boring little Yoga 2, not the Pro. Low res 1366x768 screen, with what's identified only as "Intel HD Graphics", no model identifier other than that. It's a Pentium N3520 though, Bay Trail chipset, kind of a hopped up Atom chip.

InsanelyJSCoder Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Any update to this thread? I have the Yoga Pro 2 with the High Res Graphics Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emueller Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Solution see: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306402-lenovo-yoga-2-pro-hd4400-qhd-qeci-working/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1slickvdc Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 The issue is mine's not the Core i# with the ultra-high-res screen. Mine's the Bay Trail based cheap one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEVINMAC Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I have an acer e5-511p, cpu = pentium n 3520. It looks like osx kernel doesnt support those cpu by default (it's not aware that they exists), so we need a patched kernel, look at this thread http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/307240-1095-pentium-celeron-atom-kernel I tried the 10.10.5 patched kernel with clover from a usb, not working, hangs on "root device id ..." Im gonna try the 10.9 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
