[Solved] D630: Sierra not booting

[Jake Lo]

Hervé's D630 guide

 

In post #3 you mentioned that you're following his guide and I assume you're using his bootpack.

In the bootpack, there's a file in Extra call SMBios.plist. You can preview it by selecting the file and hitting the spacebar. You can also view the file with Chameleon Wizard

I'll check it, thanks!

[TheRobster5555]

I just looked and SMBios.plist isn't there... I'm going to see if I can find a download

[Bronxteck]

you can generate your own smbios .

[Jake Lo]

Are we looking at the same guide?

Here's the link to the bootpack

I see SMBios.plist is already set to MBP7,1

[TheRobster5555]

That's weird, for some reason the pack I downloaded from the guide didn't have the smbios.plist, but that link did. Anyways, it got me past the root device thing, but it Kernal panicked...

Okay i dont know what on earth i just did, but i made it to the installer!

Looks like I celebrated too soon, I've reinstalled Sierra twice exactly like the guide and if I boot with no parameters I get a memory allocation error, but if I boot with -f, I can get in, but i would like it to boot up without me having to intercept the boot up sequence to type in -f.

Ps: I did try reseating the memory

Repair permission and rebuild cache, then try booting without -f

      sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E*

      sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E*

      sudo touch -f /L*/E*

      sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E*

      sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E*

      sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E*

      sudo kextcache -Boot -U /
