viking1304 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 1. There was some issue with APFS and SSD trim on hacks. Recommended solution was to disable SSD trim or to use HFS+. I have no idea if that still applies or not. Personally I am using HFS+ because I am constantly using Clonezilla to backup and restore images of my partitions in order to safely play with my system and to be able to revert it quickly to perfectly working state. 2. Jake's bootpack contains all kexts that you need. 3. A bunch of warnings and assertion failures, even a long delay between RAM disk initialization and mounting of existing partitions is perfectly normal. After you generate SSDT.aml in post-install steps, your system will boot much faster and with less warnings (most of them are perfectly safe to ignore). If you want to use APFS be sure that your EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI folder contains apfs.efi. I advice you to use Jake's Generic EFI folder EFI_4359.zip and Bootpack for your system, since all needed files are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acquarius.13 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi everybody! As described on my signature, I successfully updated my E7450 to High Sierra (10.13.2), keeping the HFS+ file system, in order to avoid any problem still present for APFS and hackintosh. I used the USB media update method which worked basically immediately (after a couple of reboots). I want to thank you everybody for support and suggestions, in particular Jake Lo. One (hope so) final question: in this moment I'm able to use HWMonitor and sensors and I see a difference between macOS battery percentage and HWMonitor battery percentage. Are you able to explain this issue? Is there any fix? You can find a picture in attachment. Thanks again a lot Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 7, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2018 Add this to boot arg abm_firstpolldelay=16000 This is also in my bootpack config, if you're using it. It's a new issue with HS + ACPIBatteryManager.kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acquarius.13 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Currently I'm using my old config.plist (from El Capitan) with many on-the-fly patches and a way to use iMessage/Continuity/Handoff. I forgot to put that boot flag and now the values are perfectly synced. About my old config.plist, are there some patches/etc. that can be deleted? Thanks Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 7, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2018 If you're using AppleALC + Lilu.kext for audio, then you could remove all the AppleHDA patches. Also can remove SecondStagePatch 10.12 patch, as it's noted, it's for 10.12. All AirPortBrcm4360 - PCI Error # can be remove FVCO - wireless 10.12 can be remove as well.

acquarius.13 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 I removed the suggested on-the-fly patches and I tried to "sync" your config.plist to mine but I see that there are some differences that I don't completely understand. Is there any other suggestions to improve the config.plist? Small update on battery status: charging the laptop takes the issue back out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 9, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 9, 2018 You can try increasing the delay value 16000 abm_firstpolldelay=16000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acquarius.13 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Thanks Jake I will try. Any further suggestion about config.plist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acquarius.13 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 I increased the delay value to 32000 but no way.. Any further suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumster Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 im on a e7450 with a usb drive containing the boot pack in the efi folder, latest clover, using apfs.efi hfsplus.efi and 10.13.2 installer on the main partition. i cannot format my drive to apfs, only hfs+. sometimes drive utility shows i have no free space and fails to erase/partition unless i select the drive itself and not the volumes. after video initialization screen goes blank until i close my screen and re-open it. after the installer copies the needed files to the drive and reboots, it tells me osinstaller.pkg is missing or corrupt and says mac os can’t be installed. would you please advise me on what to change? am i missing something?
