Hi,
I tried installing Sierra previously and ran into some issues so I tried using High Sierra which had a bit more success, but now I'm running into an issue where when booting, it gets stuck on IOConsoleUsers. I'm guessing it is a GPU issue. I prepared my boot loader with the instructions for laptops and I created the Discrete Graphics spoof file, and can't get pass this. Install didn't fail at all, but now I can't set up the "Mac".

in your config.plist:

<key>Inject</key>
<dict>
<key>ATI</key>
<false/>
<key>Intel</key>
<true/>
<key>NVidia</key>
<false/>
</dict>

should be:

<key>Inject</key>
<dict>
<key>ATI</key>
<false/>
<key>Intel</key>
<true/>
<key>NVidia</key>
<true/>
</dict>

Even with the spoof script that disables Nvidia?

apparently that is needed for the spoof to work according to Rehabman the other day when he mentioned in another post

go back to the guide where you downloaded the appropriate config.plist and use as is without making any changes and see what happens

I used the config.plist for Intel 630 graphics and got the same exact screen again.

try changing:
<key>ig-platform-id</key>
<string>0x591b0000</string>

to

<key>ig-platform-id</key>
<string>0x12345678</string>

I changed that and it got rid of the {IGPU} issues but now I get stuck here.
