Hi, I'm posting this as a last resort before giving up installing Mac OS Mojave 10.14.1 on an old E540 Laptop.

CPU: i7-4700MQ
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ "Hyundai"
Motherboard: Lenovo 20C6008FGE

Downloaded full Mojave 10.14.1 into USB and installed using Clover config & boot loader tools.
I couldn't for the life of me get the installer to pass the section of the "End Random Seed ++++"

Tried different Memory fixes (OsxAptioFixDrv(/2/3)-64.efi,
OsxLowMemFixDrv-64.efi, ApfsDriverLoader-64...) and different combinations between them.

Also tried copying as much as I could from this repository
https://github.com/ZzMark/Thinkpad-E440-Hackintosh
As I thought E440 would be very similar.

However, the -v option in the clover boot loader only gets me so much information.
I understood this might be related to the memory. but someone suggested it maybe has to do with the CPU as well?

Should I try a different OS version? I'm pretty hopeless at that point

But i HAVE seen evidence of this laptop working with Mojave. very strange

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks ahead
