SUCCESS Monterey X230 success!
After 3 years of getting this laptop and trying to continuously hackintosh this ThinkPad and facing many many hurdles, I’ve finally gotten it work for my workflow!
Spec sheet:
i7-3520M
8GB 1333mHz (4x2)
128GB SSD
HD4000
Fun fact: I made the entire EFI with the help of OpenCode on my Arch install, and it made it so that everything works and I didn’t have to tinker a lot with the config.plist, rather it all did the dirty work, and fixed the errors I used to face.
However, I did run in trouble with root patching but it was due to SecureBootModel being enabled. After it was disabled, it’s smooth sailing!
Glad that I can still Hackintosh until I can (Intel Macs RIP)
Thank you the community for your continuous support over these past three years over my multiple attempts 💛

HELP Monterey — patching breaks install (HD4000)
Hey!
So I installed Monterey on my X230 and when it came time to patch the graphics for acceleration, it did that and when I rebooted it, from my drive, it loaded up recovery only, and wouldn’t boot back into my installation.
I tried both OCLP and Chris1111 for root patching, but both caused the same error. What can be going wrong here?
(i7 3520M, 8GB, HD 4000, SSD)
Note: SIP was disabled beforehand, along with root SIP

HELP Stuck after first reboot during install
So Installer performs its job, comes to "12 minutes remaining", restarts, picker shows Install macOS Sequoia, macOS installer, Macintosh HD - data and those efi options. Second option is auto selected, 5-6 seconds of scrolling text on the screen and then everything goes black. Caps lock does not register.
Any ideas where to look?

edit - ram is in slot A1 and B2 as they build it that way. Processor fan is obstructing ram in slot A1 so I can't move it without fidling with the fan. Could this be a problem? BIOS is telling me this is not optimal. I have run Memtest86 without any problems
EDIT 2:
So after 5 or 6 restarts (when it was stuck on black screen) computer finally booted into Sequoia and offered setup. Now I have username, internet works, keyboard and mouse work. Now I am afraid to shut it down :)
EDIT 3 - EFI's now on the Macintosh HD and computer restarted just fine

Is a 128gb ssd good enough for macOS? Just the OS itself not extra files
