Anyone have success with Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q Tiny and OpenCore?

[asleb]

I wonder if anyone has a working setup og M910q Tiny using OpenCore. I had great success with OC 0.5.8 and M93p Tiny but that is a Haswell i5. The M910q is a Kaby Lake i7-7700T and even if I followed the OC guides I am not able to boot into my install USB. Maybe there are some BIOS settings I missed.

Thanks. I have a m93p which must be newer than yours (?) i5-4570T running OpenCore 0.5.8. The easiest hackintosh I ever did. Seems the m910q i7-7700T is a completely different affair. Bios is different also. No help from that build to get my m910q running. I am able to get to select drive and a lot of scrolling info. Then when the Apple logo should appear I get a black screen. At least this solved getting past the "End RandomSeed" block:

RebuildAppleMemoryMap switch it OFF
SetupVirtualMap switch it ON

Here is my working EFI on OpenCore 0.5.8. I plan to publish a guide as soon as I get my Broadcom wifi/bt card replacement. So for this folder I have no wifi/bt kexts. I also included a working USBports.kext to map the USB ports. Hope I didn't exclude my internal wifi/bt card. Will fix that later. I think m92p is a cpu gen. lower so my EFI folder should work. I am amazed at the boot time. I have never seen so fast boot. You can of course turn off the verbose messages. No serials in the config.plist so fix that first. iMac14,1. Was hoping my m910q would be so easy but alas what a pain it is at the moment.

Here is the wifi/bt card I have ordered for the m93p. For my m910q I have a Dell DW1820A. You can be lucky with DW1802A but it is a chance to take, I have had problems with some and just had to dump them. If you can afford it choose a BCM94360NG.

I updated my EFI to OC 0.5.9 now that I got my wifi card. With the 4 Brcm kexts you see in kexts folder. This card was much cheaper than the M.2 cards I bought for my other hackintoshes. I get great speed with this cards and BT is stable. Included USBPorts.kext for USB mapping. This is a nice Hackintosh. Wish I could fix my m910q

Did you try the EFI and did it work? I am upgrading as soon as I get the WIFI card and will update the EFI. I upgraded to OC 0.5.9 on my other hackintoshes but did not see any difference and the upgrade did no fix any of my issues, mostly related to sleep and dual-monitor. On the m93p I have dual-monitor working fine and sleep is no problem. I mean the monitor sleeps, the PC never goes to deep sleep. That is no problem for me as long as it never crashes. Of all mini PCs m93p just works. I have also ordered a quad-core Intel Xeon E3-1275L V3 QS 2.7GHz. That will in theory double the performance. It is 45W compared to 35W on the current. According to what I have read it should work fine.

Uploaded a new EFI folder with OC 0.5.9. Everything works for me, dual monitors, sleep (not deep but never crash), wifi/bt, iMessage, AirDrop, perfect.
