Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 22, 2016 Here are the patched files. Place them in /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched. Patched files.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdub Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Great, thanks so much. Unfortunately after placing the patched files in the correct folder and rebooting I get a 'still waiting for root device' error. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 22, 2016 Add SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext to /EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other You can get it from my Sierra guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdub Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 The kext you mentioned isn't in the 7470 sierra boot pack, I downloaded it from another post you mentioned though. I tried the kext and am still getting the root device error. I need to do a fresh install so I'll report back when that's done, I'm hoping it will clear the error.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 23, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2016 I think the issue is with my patching. This should fix it hopefully. Replace 3 files in post #12 with attached Disguard! Not working, stick with origin files from post #12! Updated_patches.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdub Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 I replaced all 3 files but still getting a "still waiting for root device" error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdub Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Heres where it's stalling in verbose boot mode: Maybe its something with the DSDT/SSDT patching? The disk is recognized fine without using DSDT so I don't think I have an unsupported chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdub Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 I created a new 10.11 USB installer following the E7470 guide using latest version of Clover, 7x70 10.11 bootpack and the latest supplied DSDT/SSDT +config.plist files posted in this thread. I can boot to the OS X installer but my SSD is still not recognized by Disk Utility. I've tried: - adding SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext to EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other - removing IOAHCISerialATAPI_Injector.kext from EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other - disabling/re-enabling Boot Legacy ROMs in BIOS - changing DropOEM to false (SSD still not recognized) I have 8gb of RAM installed (not 16gb as posted in specs), would that matter? not sure what else to try here, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 28, 2016 Administrators Share Posted November 28, 2016 so try finishing the install without the dsdt /ssdt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
