akshajb Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yes is for Dell, but you can follow all the steps for your Lenovo. Hey, What about DSDT patching?

Allan Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 DSDT is not obligatory. For example, you can use this flag nv_disable=1 (via Clover) for disable your Nvidia. We recommend DSDT only if any patch (via Clover/kext) not work for you.

akshajb Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 So this guide is graphic specific? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303578-hackintosh-on-lenovo-z50/#findComment-2098344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Oops! About DSDT you mean this: 18. Recheck if config.plist, dsdt.aml, ssdt.aml are placed correctly in EFI partition of internal drive. ?

akshajb Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Oops! About DSDT you mean this: ? Exactly all that, As Dell E7440 and Lenovo Z50 have different parts,processors and only the GFX is common how do you expect the guide to work fine?

Allan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 You can install the two bootloaders. Clover and Chameleon. But i recommend you install Clover in UEFI and Chameleon in Legacy. Start with Clover: Install Clover bootloader – speedstep and installing kexts (UEFI) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303578-hackintosh-on-lenovo-z50/#findComment-2098668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
