Plasma2k9 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I'm new to OpenCore but not to Hacintosh's, I'm trying to install Monterey on a Lenovo M80q (CometLake chipset with an i5). I have followed the Dortania GitHub guide to dump and patch the DSDT, and prepared the USB as instructed. I also altered all the BIOS settings I could find that lined up with the suggestions. The stick boots to the menu, and on selecting "Install macOS Monterey". It goes through a good few screens of booting then I get a blank screen and loss of signal, I believe it's when the installer would usually bring up the GUI. The board apparently has an Intel® UHD Graphics 630. There's a video of the end of the boot sequence just before the screen turns off I tried altering the 'AAPL,ig-platform-id' from '07009B3E' to '00009B3E' as suggested here, this made no difference to the above. Anyone got any ideas / suggestions? Thanks in advance! :) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350825-installing-opencore-on-a-lenovo-m80q/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmju Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I'd suggest checking CFG Lock - see Dortania guides.
