orbislacteus Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hi folks, this is my first post on this forum. Did some Hackintoshing before, but don't know all the stuff. At the Moment im trying to get Sierra or High Sierra working on a E7270. I managed to install SIerra, but then I switched the ssd against a 512 GB Toshiba m.2 PCIe, which is not recogniced in the installer of Sierra. After tryying some patches for Sierra (Pike R Alpha) which did not change anything, I tried High Sierra since support for NVMe should be better there. Finally I reached the installer there too, but no SSD showed up. Any suggestion how I can make it visible during installation? I would be satisfied with Sierra or High Sierra. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 17, 2017 Go with High Sierra but with HFS+J instead of APFS. See here how to do that. Make sure to use latest Clover and latest kexts. Enable UEFI + AHCI + Legacy Option ROMs disabled in the BIOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbislacteus Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 I do not see any ssd drives, so i can't format it neither apfs nor hfs+. The hardware is simply not recogniced by MacOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd1024 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Same here, strange... I need to go back to Sierra because of my music software and tried a fresh install but no disk is found in the installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 17, 2017 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2017 hake sure to have hfsplus.efi and or apfs.efi in clover/drivers folder you need them so the os sees the drive. also make sure sata is set to ahci in bios.

orbislacteus Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Yes, i have hfsplus and apfs.efi on the Stick. But that would only be a Boot issue as far as i understand it. The drives should also show up without them in Disk utility. Sata is set to ahci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd1024 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Those were my first thoughts too but nope. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. This device was already hackintoshed before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbislacteus Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Ok, I got it working. Partitioned the disk under Linux and finally showed up under Disk Utility. Thanks for the support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 17, 2017 Have you look under the new option to show all devices from the drop down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 17, 2017 @edd1024, for Sierra, you need additional SSDT patch and kexts. See here, I have a bootpack for NVMe, it's for 10.12.4. If you need it for 10.12.6, you'll need a newer kexts. See here for that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
