michaelo1981 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Having a problem with OS X Sierra installation. followed jack/jake lo guide to make a USB install drive using clover and it boots up(see apple logo as shown on the images below). Then it goes to a pixelated screen with a mouse cursor in the top right of the screen(also shown on images below). Freezes there for about 5-7 seconds then reboots. also. Is there a way to let clover use both memory banks so I can use my full 12gb ram instead of just 8 or 4? My original problem was that it wouldn’t even get to the apple screen if both memory banks were full but now hat I have one of the two ram sticks in it goes to the apple screen then the problem above happens Latest bios is the one from March of this year that’s installed. my info for laptop dell latitude e6440 intel i5 4300m intel 4600 graphics 1 8gb ddr3 ram 1 4gb ddr3 ram 250gb msata Samsung 860 evo drive 500gb Sara Samsung 860 evo drive. Any any help is appreciated. If if you can iMessage my phone and help me iMessage me at 1-587-707-0886 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted April 10, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 10, 2018 Good old "2nd stage/final stage boot glitch". Fixed either by installing/injecting IntelGraphicsFixup.kext + Lilu.kext or by applying the following Sierra on-the-fly patch in Clover: Find: 0100007525 Replace by: 010000EB25 Target: IOGraphicsFamily kext - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelo1981 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 How do I do the on the fly patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelo1981 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Keep in mind this is happening when I try to boot into the installer to install osx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted April 10, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 10, 2018 Use Clover Configurator app and read up the Clover wiki to learn on the tool, what it does and how it works. This glitch does not prevent booting the USB installer or the installed OS in any way. It's just that, a display glitch. If your system fails thereafter, you have an issue elsewhere, probably at graphics initialisation. Boot in verbose mode (-v flag) to see where the boot process hangs/fails. You can also follow my Enoch-based E6440 Sierra guide available in the Guides section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelo1981 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 I’ll try your guide tonight. In the guides section you said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 10, 2018 Does your system have only HD4600 or HD4600 + dGPU? Are you using this bootpack? Goes into /EFI/Clover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelo1981 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm using the bootpack and no my system only has the intel 4600 no dedicated gpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelo1981 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 I also copied it into the clover directory as told by the guide you typed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 10, 2018 Then you shouldn't use that bootpack. The included DSDT has patches to disable the dGPU. 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 mode If this works, then you'll need to patch new DSDT/SSDT specific to your system without the dGPU but booting to Clover GUI, hitting F4. Then compress and attach /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Origin here for patching. Please specify BIOS version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
