Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme - Stuck at black screen - Pre-install

Hi guys.

I'm stuck at the black screen after selecting the option to boot the macOS installer. The macOS installer is: macOS Catalina 10.15.1

Here'is my EFI Folder. Any help or guidance is much appreciated.

I started with the started with the vanilla laptop guide from scratch via u/fewtarius : https://fewtarius.gitbook.io/laptopguide/

And here's my config:

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 1
  • CPU: Intel Core i7 8850H
  • Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q Design; 3840 x 2160
  • Storage: Drive 1: SamsungPM981 (Windows 10 Pre-installed) Drive 2: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB (blank)
  • RAM: 32GB Single channel

Note: I skipped that iGPU part and instead gave the invalid ig-platform-identifier just for the sake of booting the installer.
