Black screen before picker, then boots back to windows
Skill Level: Intermediate
This guide aims to address the black screen and automatic boot to Windows when trying to install macOS via iATKOS on a Legion 5 laptop.
Step 1: BIOS Settings Verification
Ensure that the BIOS settings are correctly configured for a Hackintosh setup. This includes disabling Secure Boot, enabling AHCI, and prioritizing the USB boot.
Step 2: Bootloader Configuration
Check your bootloader configuration. Ensure that the correct drivers are loaded and that there are no conflicts, particularly with GPU settings.
Step 3: Verbose Mode
Boot in verbose mode to see detailed logs. This can give clues as to where the boot process is failing.
Step 4: Reviewing Debug Logs
Analyze the debug logs for any errors or critical messages. Pay special attention to ACPI errors or kernel panic messages.
Step 5: Bootloader Update or Reinstall
If issues persist, consider updating or reinstalling the bootloader. This can sometimes resolve compatibility issues.
