If you’re kernel panicking when you start the download it’s likely a compatibility problem with your SSD. Since it’s a Samsung 980 it’s probably incompatible, Samsung NVMes are not supported. Some might work but others like the PM981 are absolutely not supported and despite what a few people who hav

tried nvme=-1, it doesn t work, the bootloader gets stuck(but doesn t throw a kernel panic though), the bios sadly doesn t support disabling pci e lanes, but i will look into the ssdt files. the thing is one of my nvmes is a Samsung pm981 which seems to be notorious for this kind of kernel panic, wi

It runs very smoothly. And I feel your struggle with the NVMe – my T480s came shipped with an incompatible 512G Samsung PM981 NVMe, ordered a 512G WD SN730 a week ago but still didn't arrive so I ended up saying "fuck it" and buying a 1T Kingston NV3 from a local store and this one works like a char

You're using a Samsung PM981 (MZVLB...), which is notorious for freezing at the 12-minute mark in macOS. You might needNVMeFix.kex

I had a similar issue when I installed OpenCore on the Thinkpad T480 but the only way was to use a different SSD. Edit: the SSD that refused to work was Samsung MZ-VLB2560 (PM981)
