Viez Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I'm trying to install HIGH SIERRA, open core 0.7.9 on dell e6430, but it doesn't start. I use efi from this thread: https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/14166-e6430-efi-for-opencore/ the installation fires normally, so its works. When I update to the latest version open core 0.7.9 I get this message: do you have any advice?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 26, 2022 Administrators Share Posted March 26, 2022 The EFI you seem to refer to is not for OC 0.7.9 but for a much older version of OpenCore; you'll have to build an OC 0.7.9 EFI, using the same principles as those used for the older one. But you cannot re-use the files. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 27, 2022 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2022 @Viez You probably updated the driver and opencore.efi, but no the config.plist. You can't mix and match. Should all be from the same version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viez Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 Thanks for the answer !!! Based on https://dortania.github.io/ and EFI E6x30 A24 LoRes OC 0.7.5 - Jake Lo I managed to create a new config.plist and update kext to version 0.7.9, when I run opencore I have no errors, I managed to install high sierra. Currently, everything works, except the turbo core and cam. I think the camera works on smbios 9.2, but I don't remember exactly. I tried different smbios 9.2, 9.1 and 10.1 and 10.2 ,each change of smbios was preceded by nvram reset and generating a new ssdtPRGen.sh script. (generate with flags -c 2 or 3) When i do Geekbench test, Intel Power Gadget only shows 2.7 Ghz, When My spec: Dell e6430 CPU - i7-3740qm RAM: 8G 1867Mhz GPU: intel 4000hd 1366x768 OPENCORE 0.7.9 I include acpi and configACPI.zipconfig.plist.zip edit: I have SSDT-PM.aml Disable, after switching on Cpu is 800 mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 27, 2022 Administrators Share Posted March 27, 2022 Webcam is USB based. Can't remember if there are a couple of different models that were fitted to the E6430 like there were on the E6420. As long as your USB ports are properly mapped, Webcam will work either OOB or not at all depending on the model. Look it up in SysInfo->Hardware-USB or in IOReg. In your case of an E6430 with a quad-core CPU, the best SMBIOS to use in my opinion Is MBP10,2 but BMP9,2 will do fine too (not MBP9,1 or MBP10,1 because these used a Kepler nVidia dGPU). Make sure you make your USB port mappings after you've selected your SMBIOS, the 2 are linked. Re: CPU power management, it does not look like you got it right: you sure generated the proper SSDT table with Pike R Alpha's generator script, but you've not enabled it in your OC config file... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 27, 2022 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2022 As stated by Hervé: The include USBPorts kext is hardcoded. So if you change the SMBIOS, make sure to edit the USBPORT' info.plist to match it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viez Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 CPU : After a few reboots and unlocking in config.plist SSDT-PM (stupid mistake) Cpu started with turbo USB: As for the USB, I changed all smbios from 11.1 to the one I use 10.2, the camera and all the usb are working fine Thanks a lot for all the suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
