GrumpyGuy Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Folks, pretty new to all this. I have inherited a Mac mini late 2014 which is crap and an E6440 which is pretty decent. I'm trying to Hackintosh the E6440. My issue is the install stalls at Unsupported CPU and Unsupported PCH. After waiting a long time it eventually boots to the MacOS Utilities, however, my keyboard doesn't work, touchpad doesn't work (mouse plugged into usb does work) and the Disk Utility does't see my internal hard drive. BIOS Version: A23 default settings except AHCI selected fo SATA operations Processor: i7-4600M Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4600 HD: SSD Toshiba THNSNK 256GCS8 EFI folder and screen shot attached. As mentioned I'm pretty new and have been reading tonnes of stuff on the web but any help would be greatly appreciated. EFI.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGuy Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Update. Bios was not set to AHCI. After setting it the systems boots as above (stalls and eventually boots). The Hard Drive is visible in the the disk utility but wWhen I try to erase the HD and reformat for MacOS install, it crashes when it unmounts the drive (screen freezes, usb mouse and keyboard stop working CPU fan run high).

Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 1, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2019 Give this a try. Set BIOS with following settings UEFI enabled Legacy Option ROMs enabled AHCI enabled Secure boot disabled XD CPU support enabled Wake on AC/USB/WWAN/WLAN/LAN Off Now, REPLACE the attached contents into /EFI/Clover Note: If your model does not have Discrete graphics ( IE AMD or Nvidia dGPU), remove SSDT-Disable-DGPU.aml from /E/C/A/Patched Boot with verbose mode until finished E6440_Catalina.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGuy Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 Thank you Jake Lo! Mojave successfully installed. Everything works except wifi. I have ethernet so I can sort that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 2, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 2, 2019 Don't forget to move or copy all kexts in /E/C/K/O/CopyToLE to /Library/Extensions Repair permission and rebuild cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
