trying boot without caches...

that worked...

 

I have sound...

have keyboard

do not have trackpad...

 

Cannot boot from hard drive, must use USB with EFI partition...

 

Get "invalid partition table" when trying to boot from HD

 

So using USB drive to boot...

Can boot only without caches...

this was a direct upgrade...

 

the same EFI partition is on the USB and on the HD...

 

upgraded without the reformatting to APFS format... (the terminal command)

 

Strange the EFI boot loader folder "drivers64uefi" is missing the HFSPlus-64.efi and EFSplus.efi drivers...

 

I did not remove them...

I have reinstalled High Sierra a few times.

 

This is what I have encountered :

 

1. Using that dsdt file DSDT-NVS_Off.zip, the Nvidia card was disabled...

 

2. each time it seems I get display using HD4000 only a few times...

 

3. it seems to turn itself off and hitting fn up arrow or down arrow does not turn the display on.

 

4. sound seems to work

 

5. ethernet seems to work

 

was able to install a clean High Sierra ...

 

But as soon as I added additional kext, encountered the screen turning off again.

 

So main problem seems to be the screen turning off upon reboot.

 

Not sure how to fix this.

  1. Upgraded to Bios A13,
  2. Reformatted HD,
  3. Installed as Clean Install using new APFS file system,
  4. Installed Clover 4289 latest version
  5. CANNOT boot from HD
  6. Can only boot using the USB EFI partition
  7. Graphics Works,
  8. Keyboard Works,
  9. Trackpad Buttons work,
  10. Trackpad itself DOES NOT work, 
  11. Audio works

Remaining issues are

 

  1. Booting without needing to use the USB EFI partition...
  2. Use of Trackpad...
