Black screen after the apple logo and status bar. Using the 1366x768 TN panel on the t420. i5-2520m, 1 tb ssd.

what macOS version? and if on Mojave or Catalina did you use the dosdude1 method to create the installer? last question - did you replace config.plist with the config.1366x768.plist version:

unix-vokar commented 2 years ago

Using High Sierra. Tried it with opencore and clover. Where is plist? Couldn't find it.

tluck commented 2 years ago

what? the files are in this repo under EFI/CLOVER/config.plist - there are several options in this folder. Replace config.plist with 1366x768.plist for your box.

unix-vokar commented 2 years ago

Will try it out. How about opencore? Appreciate your time.

unix-vokar commented 2 years ago

So how would the folder structure look like for the *.plist?

unix-vokar commented 2 years ago

Using 12G of RAM.

unix-vokar commented 2 years ago

Tried renaming the plist. How should I replace it?

tluck commented 2 years ago

uh?? i presume you copied this repo to your USB so on the command line:

1) mount your USB ESP or disk ESP

2) rename the file cd /Volumes/ESP/EFI/CLOVER mv config.plist config.orig.plist mv config.1366x768.plist config.plist

3) boot from USB to install macOS

Thanks. I actually was able to install High Sierra successfully! Thank you. I used Open Core and edited the plist. Removed the values for the Graphics (Dual Link and something else, it was right underneath/above). Have a issue with absolutely no network. Opening another issue.
