Thanks for the file.

USB is not working after loading the Apfs. "still waiting for root device" is shown. i try it with enable/disable USB3 in the BIOS, an USB2 Stick, an USB3 Stick, try it on all 3 internal and 6 external ports (Docking) USB Ports docked and undocked.

 

Thanks for pointing out, how can I do that with the drop table? Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do this

found it

Hi @Jake Lo 

Based on the instructions linked by you I have created the USB stick. But unfortunately there is for OSX 10.13.x there is no template for my E7440.
I have now many attempts behind me, unfortunately I end up either a reboot or in a "silent waiting for root device"

I used Clover_v2.4k_r4586 for the installation of the USB stick

My steps were exactly as described in https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-vostro-xps-clover-guide/?tab=comments#comment-74275.

The files used were:
EFI_4558.zip
E7440_A20.zip - update with this AppleHDA_ALC292.kext

Installer is falling every time. Tomorrow morning i give El Capitan (a clone of an old installation for my desktop) a try and viola the system comes up with the fresh created USB Stick. 

 

 

 

Next steps:

- bring audio to run

- bring USB to run

- bring HDMI to run

 

much to do

Hello forum,

i have installed OSX 10.13.5 on my Desktop PC. Everything is fine here. Now I would like to bring my laptop to work here too.
I've already tried a few instructions from the Internet, but always stuck to the same point.

Here's the guide I came furthest with: osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/8...ab=comments#comment-74275

 

This is the point where I get stuck, no matter what the instructions.

 

 

What have I done:
- Bios changed to default, AHCI and security settings.
- Intel WLAN adapter removed and additionally deactivated in the BIOS
- Only one memory bar installed
- DEST read out of the bios with F4

 

Specs:
Latitude E7440
BIOS version: A20
CPU Type: Intel Core i7-4600U @ 2.1GHz
Processor ID: 40651
Memmory: 1 DIMM 8GB DDR3L 1600MHz

Video Controller: Intel HD Graphics
Video BIOS: 2178v15
Video Memory: 64MB
Panel: 14.0 "
Native Resolution: 1920x1080

Audio Controller: RealTek ALC3226

Wireless: Intel Wireless (replacement card is on the way)

 

On my desktop, this was not a problem, find the right Kexte, put in the appropriate folder and everything went fine, but here I can not get on. Unfortunately, I hardly understand what when it comes to patching, compile, etc.

Maybe someone can help me so that the installation goes through.
