[Solved] Dell Precision 5510 error could not allocate runtime area

Recommended Posts

I have been trying to install catalina on my dell precision 5510 the whole day but i'm always stuck during boot with error "could not allocate runtime area"
I followed vailla guides as well as guides specific to precision m5510 and xps 9550.

I tried all varients of aptiofix. tried to find my own slide value by getting hex values of my memmap though i might not have been able to get correct value.
I also tried open core alternative to aptiofix with no luck either.
i read other topics and can confirm i have two ram slots occupied.
bios settings are also set accordingly
Any help would be appreciated

 

Current System

Dell Precision 5510

Core i7 6820

2x8gb ddr4

512GB nvme SSD Liteon

Follow my vanilla Clover guide for Catalina here, including BIOS settings

Use bootpack from here, goes into /EFI/Clover after you installed Clover 

Update Lilu.kext + Whatevergreen.kext, VirtualSMC.kext, SMCBatteryManager.kext, AirportBrcmFixup.kext, USBInjectAll.kext

Remove AppleBacklightFixup.kext

Your LiteOn NMVe drive might be causing issue. Try this Config, added a patch for the bit swap block size

right now it looks like it is stalling out on audio. disable whatever you are using to load the audio and see if you get further.

Confused. do u mean i disable audio from bios?

ok. with this i was able to land on installation screen
now there are two  issues

  1. catalina cant be installed without internet connection. is it normal?
  2. when erasing the drive where i need to install, it fails saying

    MediaKit reports not enough space on device for requested operation.

    i have single 512 gb nvme drive which i want to dual boot with windows 10. i dont want to format the drive. is there any other solution?
