mpotturi Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hello Gurus out there... I have recently successfully setup hackintosh on my Dell Latitude E6540 with great help from Jake Lo. Now trying to do the same with my Lenovo T540p. As I do not understand the intricacies of SSDT/DSDT and do not have ability to patch them, I am hoping to get help from you guys. The attached zip contains my ACPI files. Hope somebody would provide the boot pack for my machine. My specs: CPU i5 4300 2.6Ghz IGP - HD4600 15" 1920x1080 500 Gb Hard disk origin.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted May 7, 2017 Administrators Share Posted May 7, 2017 You'll have to identify the exact specs of your hardware elements (LAN, wireless, bluetooth, audio, card reader, trackpad, etc.) so that the right kexts can be provided.

mpotturi Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Appreciate your response. Here are the devices present in my system: CPU - i5 4300M 2.6GHz quad core IGP - HD4600 15" 1920x1080 2x2 11b/g/n Wileless LAN M.2 Adapter Intel ® Ethernet Connection 1217-LM Realtek Blutooth 4.0 + Highspeed chip Realtek ALC3226 Audio Realtek PCIE CardReader Synaptics Pointing Device (trackpad) Synaptics FP Sensors (Fingerprint Reader) SunplusIT Integrated Camera (webcam) Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader It has 4 USB3 ports (one is ON always - charging port) Mini display port and VGA port 16 Gb memory (2x8Gb) I hope I have covered it all. Please let me know if I have missed out any. Once again, thank you for taking time to respond to my request. Mohan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted May 8, 2017 Administrators Share Posted May 8, 2017 Ok for CPU (Haswell i5-4300M with HD4600 integrated graphics), LAN (Intel i217LM) and audio (ALC3226 = ALC292). The rest remains to be specifically defined (wireless, Bluetooth, Card reader). If you run Windows, I suggest you identify the PCI vendor + device ids through apps such as CPUZ or Aida64 or through the device manager. You'll need to: 1) apply the Haswell kernel patch to boot your system properly and avoid KP or boot loop 2) apply the HD4600 tuning: fake Desktop HD4600 id 0x0412 and use Rehabman's FakePCIIDxxx kexts. You have a HiRes screen, so make sure to set DualLink to 1. 3) use Mieze's IntelMausiEthernet driver or AppleIntel1000e kext for the LAN card 4) apply ALC292 AppleHDA patches and use dummy ALC292 kext for audio 5) for Keyboard and TrackPad, look-up the latest Synaptics kexts on the forum The rest will depend on the other hardware being properly identified. You can refer to my E6440 guides to grab kexts (FakeSMC + LAN + audio + CPUPM-related SSDT) from the published bootpacks or your existing E6540 build since those Dell laptops are based on similar hardware as your Lenovo T450p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpotturi Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Thanks for the instructions. I will start working on it tonight. Here are some more details I could grab from the system after seeing your instruction to look up vendor & hardware IDs Wireless: Vendor is Realtek and it has the following h/w ids------------PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_818B&SUBSYS_001B10EC&REV_00PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_818B&SUBSYS_001B10ECPCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_818B&CC_028000PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_818B&CC_0280 Blutooth: Vendor is Realtek------------USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8761&REV_0200USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8761 Card Reader: Venor is AlcorMicro-----------------USB\VID_058F&PID_9540&REV_0120USB\VID_058F&PID_9540 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 9, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 9, 2017 Try this T540p.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpotturi Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Thanks for your response Jake. I prepared the USB using the boot pack override you sent me. The installer booted up but it did not have the install option to install macOS. It behaved as if it did not have the macOS install package on the USB stick. I am 100% sure I followed your clover guide just like I did for my Latitude. However, I noticed that the size of the config.plist is significantly larger for Lenovo than for the Dell one. I know it could have been due to the fact that these two are different hardware configurations. Am I supposed to keep or delete the dsdt and ssdt files in ACPI\patched directory on the USB? I kept them. Did not try removing them yet as it was late last night by the time I got to that point. Thank you. Mohan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted May 9, 2017 Administrators Share Posted May 9, 2017 You must of course delete all BIOS tables applicable to another system such as your Dell E6540 when booting the USB installer on your Lenovo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpotturi Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I was talking about the ssdt and dsdt files that Jake included in T540p.zip file attachment. I was not sure if they are meant for post install on hard disk ony or they are to be used for both installer usb and post install hard disk. I do not remember what exactly I did for my Dell. That is the reason I was asking about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 9, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 9, 2017 Leave them in the Patched folder. You could try without to see if it will install since you ran into a snag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
