Help with ThinkPad T490 OpenCore

I'm using https://github.com/5T33Z0/Thinkpad-T490-Hackintosh-OpenCore to install macOS Sonoma and I'm running into a problem with finishing the installation.

I can boot from the USB, I can format the disk, I can connect to my WIFI network and start the installation. It takes a while, then the laptop reboots and bring me back to the installer menu with the usual options to restore from time machine, reinstall macos sonoma etc..

Instead of completing the installation (I think it should reboot a couple of times and resume the process all by itself) I can only restart the installation over and over.

I think I did everything right in regard to BIOS settings in my T490, I followed the instructions on the page above. Should I set the BIOS to always boot from the USB?

To create the USB I followed https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ . I pasted the content of my USB installation media here: https://pastebin.com/WkriWgiK

As for editing plist, again I followed the instructions on that T490 repo, I'm only unsure about this step:

Generate MLB, Serial and ROM for MacBookPro15,2 using GenSMBIOS or OCAT.

I'm using GenSMBIOS, I load my config.plist and do:

3. Generate SMBIOS

4. Generate UUID

5. Generate ROM

But then when I try

6. List Current SMBIOS

it always returns empty info...

My config.plist is here: https://pastebin.com/s3QwFyq4

Another thing I don't understand is why Windows always shows up in the OpenCore initial menu, I formatted the disk, should be empty now...

Any ideas?
