Couldnt Get the Installer to wok #149

Closed sh0umik closed 3 years ago

sh0umik commented 3 years ago

I have been trying to install Big Sur 11.5.2 into my X1 Carbon for a day now and I couldn't get past the installation steps. My machine is the exact same machine except it uses i7-8550U with 16GB Ram.

So far I have replaced the stock SSD with Corsair Force-Series-MP510 and updated the bios to 1.51. I don't know how to mod bios and I don't want to go this route.

Each and every time the second phase of the installer ( Install from macOS HD ) gets stuck around 29-24 minutes remaining on the apple logo. I tried waiting 40 mins and more and more but noticed the machine is getting hotter and hotter ! Then I stopped the installer. Untitled

Also is there any way I can check the install log from this screen or from anywhere? if so then please let me know how. I want to submit as much data as possible.

I was wondering if this is an NVMeFix.kext a problem but tried the installer EFI with and without it and had no luck. I have also disabled wifi & Bluetooth from the bios but no luck.

I am currently using the Install EFI from the master branch for this install

You can go ahead and use the master EFI to install instead. All you need to do is to change ScanPolicy to 0

The install EFI is outdated and I've been meaning to get rid of it for a while now, just waiting on Monterey release.

I tried the master EFI and it works but after installation, it hangs if I use intel wifi kext(itlwm)

Also, One thing to point out the SSD I changed is also not supported in X1 Carbon 6th gen. It should be because I was using that SSD in my Desktop Hackintosh (Big Sur 11.5.2)!! ( Phison E12 Nvme Controller is also doesn't work in Thinkpad I guess )

I changed that SSD as well and the installation step is completed using the EFI below. https://github.com/kushwavez/lenovo-x1c6-clover-efi I am currently using this EFI because I haven't changed my wifi card and intel wifi kext(itlwm) works fine with this EFI.

Your main EFI works well too but hangs on boot screen if I install itlwn.kext in your EFI (OpenCore 0.7.2). I used OpenCore Configurator to install the kext.

I don't support OpenCore Configurator nor recommend using it. I suggest editing things using a plain plist editor if you want to learn more about how things work.

Intel Wireless should work without any problems as I am using it myself. See https://github.com/tylernguyen/x1c6-hackintosh/blob/main/patches/Network%20Patches/Intel.plist for the Intel Network patch.
