Hi there.
Recently I just followed up the guide which was for GL551JW but works flawlessly for me on Mojave.
However today when I tried to update to Catalina the system won't boot and it crashes after outputing "IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3,hs 0,bs 0 ,now 0,sm 0x0",which the log was got by enabling "debug=0x100"
With platform-id=0x12345678 I can get into the system however since the config.plist from the guide has set the resolution to 1024*768 so it looks crappy and I can't use at all.
And because the resolution was set to 1024*768 so I can't really get more logs.
Files in attachment and I would try to get more debug information as I can.
(Also apologies for mistaking the Enter to the Ctrl+Enter and sent my draft)

MacBookPro11,1 would be a better choice of smbios

see if you can change DVMT to 64MB in BIOS

Nope.The problem remains and the last screen of the log was about the same.

After trying to throw all the kexts into Clover the problem still persists. Any other ideas please?

"throw all the kexts.." sounds a bit reckless

you have a graphics issue

have a read up here:

That's because the original guide have kexts installed in /L/E so I just wanna have a try.
I would try to look through the guide and see if I could work it out myself.

lols, it just sounded like you found loads of kexts and used them all :)

yes, using Catalina, have the 3rd party kexts you need installed to clover/kexts/other and not /L/E :)
