Thomas Knight Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hi I am after some help please. I have followed Dortania guide to create the EFI folder for the above install but it keeps failing early on in the install. My EFI folder is here on google drive and attached log . Any help would be much appreciated.

Thomas Knight Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Sorted! Thank you so much MaLd0n. I can't believe I have spent 2 weeks creating EFI folders, editing the config.plist and searching for EFI folders when the answer was here!
