Unable to boot into OS X with bootloaders in Lenovo Z570

Yes, so we might have a very slight difference on the DSDT and a complete different SSDT.

The rest of the configurations and kexts can be the same, for our happiness

By the way, which version of OSX are you using?

[SOLVED]Unable to boot into OS X with bootloaders in Lenovo Z570



It is already completed... Without any of the boot flags we can install in this Laptop with both the methods (Clover/Unibeast).

And the issue was unable to boot with Chimera/Chameleon. Still the issue is there, only possible to boot with CLOVER.

If you want any help for this laptop then let me know.. Thanks for your update

Hi RehabMan,
I have installed your FakeSMC.kext and now i am able to boot through CLOVER without any issues. Thanks a lot for kind help and guidelines. Can you please suggest, if i am installing one of the windows version (8/8.1) along with current mavericks, what are the extra drivers need to add in CLOVER?

Thanks In Advance,
Jithin Chandran

Hi Jithin.C.V
Can you please post how you installed osx on your laptop ? What are the modifications you did to make it work? If possible please post a quick summary of your installation & post installation methods. I had tried installing , and everything just worked, except booting directly from HDD, so I gave up! I just saw your post(this thread) and thought it is possible, so I am planning to hackintosh my laptop again. Please post a summary of the procedure you used to install osx on your lenovo z570.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello Jithin.C.V and masterparth (CC: Rehabman).

I have an Lenovo Z570 myself, and i can say i have almost a perfect system, just working to finish some few details.

For your main start, if you can boot into the setup, you can boot into your installed OS.
The trick is: Follow Rehabman´s guide into preparing the Clover Bootloader for the usb install, and in order to boot (inicially, start only with cpus=1). You will boot on 100% (if you follow the guide correctly).
After instalation, just copy the EFI folder you used on the install to the PC and from that, you will need to customize the Clover bootloader to work for a beter and more aproximate MacBook Pro (Graphics, Audio, HDMI Audio, SMBios, the boot args, themes, DSDT/SSDT, kexts, etc).

I will make a guide as soon as i managed to do everything and will explain how to get there.

Until then, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Cheers
