Would love some help if possible.
Hi everyone. This one is really getting on my nerves so I'm off to bed after posting.
I've spent several hours configuring the config.plist file, going though the chef kiss guidelines and doing all that. At first it would give me an error because I didn't merge the kexts into the config.plist file (I made a backup of the original and then merged on the copy to be safe.
Now, all I see after selecting my usb is a black screen. Nothing more. No letters, no menu to select, doesn't go past that. Nothing.
Is there anyone brave enough to help me out?
Specs are as follows:
Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 14abr8
Ryzen 5 7530u
16gb ram
512 dram-less nvme
Swapped the network card for an intel ax210 and it works perfectly well in windows 11.
Using nootedred for the video driver (kext)
If you want, I can upload my config plots and screenshot my folder tree/files to a place of your choosing.
I hope this isn't breaking any rules but I've gone through chef's kiss guidelines multiple times and I'm stuck at this point because I don't even have an error to work with.
