Original Question:

On my way to test the W480, I seem to have encountered a problem installing macOS, where I get stuck near "IOConsoleUsers". Per the Dortania suggestions, I have: Disabled CSM in the BIOS Set ig-platform-id ("PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)" "00009B3E") and device-id ("PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0xIC,0x4)" "F2150000") as per recommendations Added boot arguments of "-igfxmlr" and "igfxonln=1" to no avail. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks! ​ https://preview.redd.it/6x91rc9ng8u61.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=142d2c276241baab4af80b2f14a56d8ff0b46890 submitted by /u/ckrueger99 [link] [comments]
