ianinsane Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I tried to install HS Sierra on my E6220 and after several days of unsuccessful attempts, I used Enoch and this guide, which brought me to a succesful installation. However, during step 3) Post-installation fine-tuning, something must have gone wrong, since I've been receiving memory allocation errors on startup since. One thing where I had to deviate from the guide: When it said Quote copy all kexts from /Extra/Extensions to /Library/Extensions Expand the /Extra folder was empty aside from the two standard files, also there was no E/E folder. So I copied it from the USB Installer drive to this location and proceeded with the guide. So that happened after I installed Enoch on the new OS X HDD. Don't know if that might have been the problem? I then proceeded to copy all the kexts like it said in the guide, repaired permissions and rebuilt the cache and generated my own CPU-specific SSDT. But when I then tried to reboot I got this error: Right after the bootloader screen exits and OS X would start to load it crushes, without ever showing the Apple logo. The message reads like this: Memory allocation error! Addr: 0x180ffff0, Size: 0x10, File: xml.c, Line: 1176 This is a non recoverable error! System HALTED!!! Do you have any idea where I should start to troubleshoot? Either in the existing installation or - by avoiding the same mistake that led me here - by setting up anew? I already tried all the hardware stuff, swapping the RAM modules, trying with either one of them, cleaning and reseating them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 4, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2019 Try & boot without the cache through the following Enoch options & flags: KernelBooter_kexts=Yes -f -v Once at the High Sierra desktop, rebuild your cache: sudo touch -f /L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U / Then install the latest Enoch version r2921. It'll not remove anything from /Extra, merely update it if required. DSDT, SSDT & Enoch config files will remain the same. https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/71-enoch/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsane Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Yes , forgot to mention, I used r2921 from the beginning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsane Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 I don't know if that made any sense without installing a newer Enoch version, but I rebuilt the cache and after booting got the same Memory allocation error... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsane Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 I'm going to try to go back step by step und try to move the files one by one to the extensions folder, rebuilding the cache after each, then booting after each and see when the error starts to appear... EDIT: Didn't work, same error. I'll reinstall the system from the USB installer and start again from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsane Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Something seems not working with this Terminal command during post-installation: Quote cp -R /Extra /Volumes/<your fresly made 10.12 partition name> Expand in my case: cp -R /Extra /Volumes/Macintosh SSD I only get the "usage: cp" response... EDIT: Proceeded anyway and yes, there was no Extra folder on Macintosh SSD. Copied it from the USB Installer first thing after completing the 1st boot installation finalisation, booted then again, still from USB installer since no Enoch installed yet.

ianinsane Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 OK, what I tried now: - Manually copied Extra to Root HDD - Installed Enoch r2921 (Installer Log see post above) - Disabled Hibernation - Copied the Sierra patched AICPUPM kext to /System/Library/Extensions (I used 10.12.6 - hope that's right!) - Edited /Extra/kernel.plist and set KernelBooter_kexts parameter to No - repaired kexts permissions and rebuilt cache (did prompt some error messages...) - did a test reboot --> Memory allocation error. Do you have any idea where the problem is located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2019 Only that you're not installing the bootpack properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsane Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Yes, I'm just trying to find out at what step the problem is. When I installed the bootpack properly I had the same error, so I'm just trying it step by step, with my clumsy non-knowledge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2019 Having booted the USB Installer, at the main screen, open up Terminal and try: cp -Rf /Extra /Volumes/SSD/ or sudo cp -Rf /Extra /Volumes/SSD/ but I think sudo isn't supported from the installer.
