ancient underpowered T440s can still tackle Sequoia

Needed to take a break from my stable AMD Renoir laptop hackintosh so i scavenged an ancient haswell machine from my university’s basements

Never be afraid of a challenge! Oldest cpu architecture that can boot Sequoia (AVX2)

Made a booting EFI that booted Catalina, then kept the haswell-era SMBIOS and pivoted straight to sequoia with boot-args: -no_compat_check, injecting OCLP’s AMFIPass.kext, and copying OCLP’s csr-active-config. Installed sequoia just fine by using basesystem.dmg extracted from Recovery volume on 4790K + Vega 56 Sequoia build behind the laptop. Then installed OCLP’s new Sequoia experimental legacy metal root patches, and it booted right up!!

Everything works except for Not working: (can’t be bothered to fix even if it can be because this is just a little quick and dirty test machine to show people cool things computers can do around university) - webcam - sleep
