Baggette Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) My laptop is a dell latitude e6530 My specs are https://baggette.cf/Report.htm my efi is https://baggette.cf/files/EFI.zip I have attached an image of what seems to show up just before restarting. I have tried a framebuffer patch and some assorted other things but all were unsuccessful. edit: forgot to say that keyboard/trackpad did not work in the installer so if theres a way to fix that that would be nice. Thanks. Oh I forgot to say that it does seem like a gpu related issue but I don't know how to solve it.

Administrators Hervé Posted December 18, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 18, 2022 This is an E6530 with nVidia NVS 5200M which is totally unsupported beyond OS X El capiton 10.11. You have to enable Optimus in BIOS, then disable the nVidia dGPU through ACPI patching (DSDT or SSDT) to run solely on HD4000 iGPU. HD4000 is last officially supported in Catalina but remained natively supported in Big Sur with a little trick on the SMBIOS and boot arg side. It's unsupported with special patches in Monterey and, I guess, Ventura. Your OC config is largely unsuitable to old E6x30 Ivy Bridge laptops. You're trying to apply an config meant for Broadwell or later platforms and that's incorrect. For instance: the graphics properties you inject for HD4000 iGPU in your OC config are incorrect: no need to patch fbmem or stolenmem the way it's done for Broadwell iGPUs and later; all you need to patch is reduce fbmem from 16MB to 8Mb to avoid graphics corruption on screen. you've specified the target Capri framebuffer layout incorrectly; use little endianness, not big endianness. no such thing as I2C keyboard or TouchPad on on the E6x30; you need to use good old kexts for ALPS TouchPads. SMBIOS MBP11,1 is for Haswell/HD4x00 platforms, not for Ivy Bridge/HD4000 ones What version of macOS are you trying to install and run? Please try to, at least, provide the bare minimum required to obtain support. Do consult the various Latitude E6x30 guides available in our Guides section as well as the Hardware info section where you'll find information about supported platforms, supported macOS versions, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggette Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 My apologies for not providing enough info, im trying to boot big sur, I have nvida optimus enabled in the bios. I believe I did patch it although I am not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 18, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 18, 2022 No, you did not, there's absolutely no SSDT that disables the dGPU and that's mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggette Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 How do I go about doing this? ignore that I found the section in the oc guide Alright. I did that and I did the rest of the stuff you outlined. but I am slightly confused about "you've specified the target Capri framebuffer layout incorrectly; use little endianness, not big endianness." do I have to change my AAPL,ig-platform-id?
