vpquebec Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Upgrading from Sierra to High Sierra. Using Clover V4359 and Clover Configurator ( for FixHeader). Keep old partition format (HFS) Everything work like before as in Sierra. Before upgrading I changed the motherboard with i5-3340M to a new one with i7-3540M. Do I need to generate a new DSDT.aml for the i7 or keep the old one? Any advantage to move the kexts from the EFI to the L/E? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 22, 2017 Administrators Share Posted December 22, 2017 Different CPU, so you have to generate a new SSDT. DSDT should not have to change provided the other hardware specs remained identical. The advantages of moving the kexts from the Clover EFI folder to /L/E will be to cache them rather than inject them at boot time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpquebec Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 So simply copy the kexts from the EFI to the /L/E ? Do I have remove them from the EFI folder and update the config.plist not to inject the kexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 25, 2017 Administrators Share Posted December 25, 2017 That's what "move" means, in contrast to "copy"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpquebec Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Since I have moved from an i5-3340M motherboard to the i7-3540M one, do I have to change product name MacBook Air 5,2 to MacBook Pro 10,2? Any advantages?In a Hackintosh point of view, are there any differences between a MacBook Air 5,2 ,a MacBook Pro 9,2 and a MacBookPro10,2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpquebec Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 during the middle of booting process with High Sierra, i have a boot graphics glitch for a very short instant. I did not have it with Sierra. Secodly, when I move the kexts from the Other folder of Clover to the /L/E , I get the Apple menu and nothing happens, I have to move all the kexts back to the Other folder to be able to boot normally.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 9, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 9, 2018 The short glitch during boot is normal. When you moved the kexts to /L/E, did you also repair permission and rebuild cache? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 9, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2018 The short graphics glitch (aka final or 2nd stage boot glitch) has been in existence for years now; it's just that, in High Sierra, the fix is different than it was in Sierra and El Capitan: In: IOGraphicsFamily Find: 0100007522 Replace by: 010000EB22 Just adjust your patch accordingly in Clover.

vpquebec Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 To Hervé : thank for the fix. No more glitch. To Jake Lo : I did repair permission and rebuild cache. I will try again. Do I move all the kexts to the /L/E folder or leave some in the Other folder. And the other thing, the three kexts I moved from LE folder of the Other folder, AppleBackLightInjector, AppleDA_IDT and DisableTurboBoostBattery, only the AppleBackLightInjector is not loaded ??

Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 10, 2018 No, leave the kexts in ../kext/Other, no need to move. For the injector, launch IOReg Look under PNLF/AppleIntelPanelA, you should see the injector. If not, run the permission fix and rebuild cache.
