Boot Loop after 1st Installer Reboot #7

Closed AwlsomeAlex closed 3 years ago

Hello, I tried using the latest release (v0.4-beta1) with macOS 11.2.3 and 11.4. I am able to boot into the macOS Installer and initialize the install, but after the first reboot my laptop goes into a boot loop. The boot menu will appear once and I'll select "macOS Installer", but after that it panics and goes into a boot loop, where the OC menu won't even appear. I also had some issues in 11.4 where it would mess with my EFI bootloader, with the BIOS having to recover some EFI variables. I can supply more information as requested. Thanks! The only thing non-baseline about my T440p is that it has an FHD IPS screen mod.

during installation, did you format the hdd in APFS?

No the HDD was formatted HFS+

i am not sure if AFPS must be used, but i would assume you need to use an AFPS formatted drive.

you need to format in APFS for it to work
