Latitude E7270 - KP with OC Big Sur install

[zogthegreat]

@Bronxteck I tried your suggestion, however, on boot, I get only two options, "Clear NVRAM" and "Reset NVRAM" with no other options.

 

@Jake Lo I also tried adding the kernel patch as you suggested, but I had a KP on reboot. I'm attaching the config.plist that I am using, along with a screenshot of the KP.

Looks like the old NVMe patch is not working for Big Sur.

You can follow this thread, looks like someone has already asked the same question..

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I just have a list of things to deal with, so I don't have the time to work on this right now, although I do plan to come back to it once I finish up all the other things that I have to do. For right now, I'm going to run Big Sur on my Hynix SC300 drive, it works, so...

 

My problem now is that the touchpad isn't working. Not sure what the problem is, I had it working with Catalina but I get nothing with Big Sur. I tried using Hackintool to try to troubleshoot, but it didn't show any information on the touchpad. I then booted with a Linux Live USB and I got the folloing information:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I have also tried enabling/disabling various Voodoo kexts, with no results.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

According to your last Config, you have both ApplePS2 and VoodooPS2 enabled.

Pick one or the other, not both.

And maybe disable SMCDellSensors.kext, seems to disable the trackpad on some system.
