[sidodji]

Hello guys! Are there any news about rx560 version (i.e. it's support) of this laptop?

I had a working version of 10.14 but I tried to upgrade to 10.15.4 using clover r5107 with the latest drivers and kext. The upgrade installation is fine. But when trying to boot into the OS I am getting this error at the end:
"apfs_keybagg_init 1583 failed to initialized volume keybag, err=2" I have also added -disablegfxfirmware to boot flag. I also notice I get applekeystore operation failed when i use -v.

I fixed my issue by creating a new volume with in APFS container and using startosinstall method to install Catalina. Then it booted fine and transfer all data from broken volume.

Now I have Catalina 10.15.4 installed.

Hi, I am trying to install catalina on my legion Y520 (i7-7700HQ HD 630 + GTX 1050Ti) but i got "Please go to https://panic.apple.com to report this panic" when I am booting to the installation. could you share your config.plist? Thanks in advance.

Hi? I don't even know why. but now it works very well. So I used clover r5108 and after I replaced the driver and the kext from yours. now it works! Thanks a lot.

You're welcome. You might had old drivers which Catalina doesn't like. I will be removing the files from the share drive.

Good Day everyone. Well written guides from both @the-braveknight and @RehabMan. I've read most of the posts here and still have issues passing the first boot screen with the apple logo and 100% load bar. Currently performing first boot after installation using usb before patching. Screenshot of error below and EFI zip for USB attached.

You have some redundant drivers in drivers64UEFI/ , but they shouldn't cause these issues.

Is your Windows install asleep whilst you're trying to boot macOS?

EDIT: Did you configure your BIOS settings according to the guide?

Thanks for the quick reply.
My windows is shutdown. I'll try disabling some of the other power options in windows power management just in case. Yes i configured my bios according to the guide.
though my secure boot status is disabled its state is on custom mode.
SATA mode AHCI
Fastboot Disabled
And I just turned off Fast Startup from power options on my windows partition.
Hope this info helps

You are running a very old build of Clover (r4701), whilst this version would work with older builds of Mojave, it won't work with the newer ones, this includes Catalina.
Update your Clover from the official repository, latest build as of this reply is r5119.

Will do and get back to you on it thanks.

I've updated clover and it boots well now.
New issue, how do I set up to boot with clover instead of windows boot manager.
Cheers!
EDIT: Got it to boot. I had the tool already SMH(EasyUEFI).
I'm having a hard time setting up my touch pad and keyboard light.
Still surfing through posts here for a solution though.
