I have a Lenovo Thinkpad E470 and I need some help with post-install.

I have followed initially the guide below (it helped me a lot). Thank you guys for this !!!!

 

 

 

After a successful Catalina installation, I've used the CLOVER folder from the guide but it never boots up.

So, I did a clean install and used a config.plist from RehabMan. So far, so good (er, more or less).

During the boot I can see lots of ACPI errors.

 

I'm writing this message from the Lenovo E470 itself :) I've buy a SSD and I'm just waiting for it.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to make it (almost) perfect.

 

What's working:

  • network - only cabled (ethernet)
  • keyboard - although it is a ABNT2, I'm using it as a US International
  • trackpad - not as good as I need - sometimes the click is not working
  • trackpoint - works but not the buttons
  • video - activated and using an external monitor through HDMI 
  • screen brightness (with keyboard keys too)
  • SD Card Reader

 

However,  some things are not working:

  • sound - only through headphones - using layout 15 (have tried all possible layouts)
  • battery - not showing status
  • wifi - not using - maybe I buy some wireless card in the future (also have 2 different usb dongles to test)

 

Here is my current CLOVER folder and also codec_dump I made using Linux.

 

I want to make it fully functional and learn some new tricks during the journey.

I also want to make a more detailed guide to help other people.
 

Any help is welcome.

Thank you very much @Jake Lo. Everything is good now ! Wow ! The only thing that needs some working is audio. I've just injected layout 15 (at least I have sound through headphones).

 

One dummy question - why did my CLOVER folder won't work in another similar Lenovo E470?  It is something related with DSDT ?
