kyle morton Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi folks. I've set Bios to defaults, enabled AHCI, disabled virtualization options. I was never able to get the createinstallmedia option to work, so I've been using the macOS High Sierra Patcher to write the image to USB drives and then proceed from there to install clover. Bios version: 1.17.5 Specs: i5-6300u 1x8GB DDR4 Module Intel 8260 (waiting on wifi card purchased to replace this) 256gb m.2 Sata Used the method for High Sierra here and the E7470_1.17.5_HS.zip boot pack found in This Post. Using a USB 2.0 drive, installed clover v2 4k_r4429, setting up for UEFI and selecting the necessary driver as notated in the above guide. if I leave things stock, I get various kernel panics. I have tried various versions and mixes of different kexts and config.plist modifications, and it either get's stuck somewhere, or it KP's with various kexts loaded. I'm in the process of starting over with a completely different USB Drive from scratch. I've attached my current compressed EFI.zip folder that includes the latest DSDT extraction from clover. Thanks in advance for any help! EFI.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 29, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2018 From looking at your Origin folder, you should go with the alternate bootpack instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle morton Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 I'm attempting that now. Currently, it's been sitting on the attached screen for the last 10 minutes...how long should I give it before I call it a failed boot? Also, Should I be modifying the config.plist or should I be leaving it as-is? I saw a few changes that were mentioned in the tutorials I was attempting to follow, but I couldn't see exactly where I was supposed to modify what and the versions of configurator were different so mentioned locations weren't the same.

What do you look for? How do you edit your files/configs? I've always been fascinated by this world but never have had the time to dig into it very deeply. To give a status update, I am successfully and typing from a seemingly fully-working instance of High Sierra 10.13.6 with clover v2 r4449. As far as I can tell it's working as well as I'd hope. Now just to wait for the WiFi card to come in. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 30, 2018 Even though you have the same model, different BIOS version /settings and hardware configuration would require re-patching of your native files (DSDT/SSDT). That being said, when you replace your Wifi card later and it's not detecting, we'll have to re-patch again with new native files since the change in hardware.

kyle morton Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 That makes sense. Well, in any case, once the wifi card comes in, what will need to be changed? The whole thing? or just bits and pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 30, 2018 Well, let's see what happens after you replaced the card. If it doesn't detect it, then just send me the Origin folder after you hit F4 from Clover. Of course clear it first before doing so no duplicate files.

kyle morton Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Purchased and received a DW1830, installed it with literally zero changes to any of the settings and everything just worked OOB. So now, I am looking at what seems to be a fully-working install on this e7470. Is there anything else I should check? What are the typical "ok, I'm set" check list items? I haven't tested sleep, I haven't tested external displays. What's working: Wifi Mouse (both track pad and track point) Keyboard Sound Backlighting Booting from internal Webcam Hotkeys (although they're mapped to a Mac keyboard, not a huge issue, and I'm sure this can be changed later) What else should I be checking for functionality?
