How to Fix macOS boots with CFG lock locked and CFG kernel quriks set to no
Boot failures are caused by firmware settings, incorrect OpenCore configuration, or USB mapping problems.
Quick Fix Steps
- Boot verbose: Add
-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100. - Check firmware: Disable Secure Boot, Fast Boot, CFG Lock; set SATA to AHCI.
- Validate OpenCore: Run ocvalidate or ProperTree clean snapshot.
- Recreate installer: Fresh USB drive, different port.
Verification
- Verbose boot passes the previous stop.
- Installer sees the target disk.

Original Question: "macOS boots with CFG lock locked and CFG kernel quriks set to no?"
I realized my laptop can boot with both kernel quirks (AppleCpuPmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock) set to "NO" while at the same time the CFG lock in my BIOS is locked (VerifyMsrE2 reports back "locked").
does anyone know how that´s possible? I thought it wouldn´t be able to boot with the XcpmCfgLock quirk set to "no" and the CFG lock locked.

Lenovo Ideapad 330s-15ikb with i5-8250u/ UHD620
