ricksimpson Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hi All, I am new to the Hackintosh community, so first off thank you for your hard work! Especially Jake Lo! I am having issues trying to get my boot disk working. I have tried following the steps explained here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-xps-clover-guide/&do=findComment&comment=54632 And a bit of: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/10099-mini-guide-dell-latitude-e7270-update-sierra-to-high-sierra/ With 10.13.3 I will get the Apple Logo, nothing more. (1) I tried a 10.12.6 installer, and managed to get the OS Install loading up, but then when it gets to the end, it Kernel Panics. (2) I am not sure whats causing the issue, I am sure I must of messed something up. I have attached my Clover Config in form of ZIP File. Attached is my general BIOS settings with BIOS v1.15.4 - (3), (4) Please help. EFI.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksimpson Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hi Jake, Gave it a go unfortunately got the attached results - either glitches with prohibitory sign or just boots in verbose mode. Any ideas? Maybe I am getting confused with the use of the generic EFI, am I using the right Generic EFI? The steps I took were: - Made install disk with terminal as per instruction - Installed Clover with UEFI Booting only, Clover in the ESP, and Drivers64UEFI selected. - Copied contents of EFI_4369.zip to EFI. - Copied contents of E7270_1.17.5_HS.zip to CLOVER. Is this correct? Appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 27, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2018 Boot to Clover menu. Hit the F4 key. Then compress and attach the Clover folder here for review You might have to upgrade the BIOS to 1.17.5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 27, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2018 Try going into Options when you see the Clover loader, use the right arrow to navigate Select ACPI patching-> Tables Dropping-> Go all the way down and deselect Drop all OEM SSDT Check all the Drop "SSDT-xx" below that Select Return Change DSDT name: BIOS.aml or anything other than DSDT.aml Select Return, Return Hit spacebar to select Verbose mode + debug 0x100 What the above does is to not use the patched DSDT/SSDT if it's a BIOS dependent issue.

ricksimpson Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hi again, Tried to do the above, gives me multicoloured scrolling text and the eventually comes to the attached picture. I will update the BIOS and retry tonight and loop back. Will advise. Thank you again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksimpson Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hi Jake, Unfortunately no go after BIOS Update, boots in verbose mode and then freezes. What could be the cause? To eliminate me as the cause, (I hate to ask this) could I ask of you to join the EFI_4369.zip and E7270_1.17.5_HS.zip and attach the file for me to copy straight in? Again I appreciate your assistance and patience helping me out. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 27, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2018 Clear /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Origin folder Boot to USB, when you get to Clover GUI, hit F4. This will get you a new set of DSDT/SSDT dump with the new BIOS you just updated. Compress and send me the new Origin folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksimpson Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi Jake, Please see attached new EFI folder with Origins cleared. Also, attached is a photo that shows what the laptop does before booting into verbose mode - this might help in the troubleshooting area. Thanks for your help.
