I just want to make sure I’m not doing something stupid… which is entirely possible…
I’ve tried a few different versions of the EFI now (0.7.0, 0.7.1, 0.7.2) all modified as suggested and with the modifications that I could see needed to be made for my hardware.
Trying to install Big Sur 12.5.1, the furthest I’ve made it is about 20% from the end of the first stage of the install. It fails with a nondescript error, literally something along the lines of “cannot complete because of an error”.
On my most recent attempt, using a freshly rewritten USB (I tried to write it from my mum’s M1 laptop in case my older hardware was being an issue), 0.7.1, and freshly updated firmware on the motherboard (now running 4005), I received a notice about ‘no schema for GraphicsInputMirroring’, then once the installer started the mouse was a large glitch field and the screen was pretty much a 400x200 area of the normal install screen stretched to fill the entire display but offset by half the screen.
I’ve given up for the night being that it’s 2:44AM and mistakes are likely to be made, but any insights that may be helpful? The last thing I want to do is have to go back to having to use Windows
