[SOLVED] Dell E5550 stuck on FakeSMC


Joost Blok

Recommended Posts

First Hackintosh laptop so please bear with me.

I exactly followed Jake Lo's High Sierra guide and added the clover settings, generic EFI and used the E5550_A15.zip bootpack.

I also updated all the kexts to the latest version (otherwise I got a KP).

However, now my system is stuck on a fakeSMC initializer.

I have uploaded a photo of where it hangs and my EFI.zip any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay some information has been truncated / missing due to our migration. It should have include information for setting DVMT for system above Haswell. In your case, Broadwell, needs to to set in the BIOS DVMT Prealloc.. see here

OR use IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext + Lilu.kext

Add IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext to /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other

F4 did extract the files to Origin but one of the SSDT is corrupted. Probably give it a couple of seconds to fully extract.

Go to /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Origin, clear the folder. Reboot it and hit F4 again.

Compress and attach only the Origin folder here

Is A15 the latest?

If you plan on upgrading to the latest BIOS, do so first before sending me the Origin folder.

I used diskutil terminal command to erase the disk to a Journaled HFS+ partition with GPT:

diskutil erasedisk jhfs+ Hackintosher gpt /dev/disk1

It erased it with those parameters then I used: 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Hackintosher --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app --nointeraction

After that I installed using clover and Jake Lo's High Sierra guide .

 

Updated my BIOS to A19.

Extracted the clover folder using F4 (gave it ~5 mins)
