Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 1, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2017 Did you copy the Clover folder from the USB to the hard drive EFI partition? Might be your hard drive is missing the APFS.efi if you had formatted to APFS format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmith1966 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 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...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 1, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2017 were you able to add HFSPlus.efi back and see if it'll boot to the hard drive? Don't know what EFSPlus.efi is. You can get it here if you don't have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmith1966 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 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.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 4, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2017 Did you check to see if the BIOS disables Optimus after reboot? I believe A13 prevents that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmith1966 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Upgraded to Bios A13, Reformatted HD, Installed as Clean Install using new APFS file system, Installed Clover 4289 latest version CANNOT boot from HD Can only boot using the USB EFI partition Graphics Works, Keyboard Works, Trackpad Buttons work, Trackpad itself DOES NOT work, Audio works Remaining issues are Booting without needing to use the USB EFI partition... Use of Trackpad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmith1966 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 to use the updated OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller these instructions are specified... https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller/wiki/How-to-Install Do we need to follow them to get the trackpad working? Or just replace VoodooPS2Controller-R6B6.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
