New(ish) to this forum here, got back into wanting to attempt this project again over Spring Break.
Back around October 2018 I tried multiple methods to getting my recently acquired E7440 working with Mojave but have never been able to even load the installer. First I tried a Vanilla install by following RehabMan's guide, which first had an issue with the boot media (despite using a USB 2.0 Drive), then had an issue which would make the installer hang up on something relating to ACPI and the battery. Then I tried JakeLo's bootpacks, which admittedly got farther in the progress bar but would still hang.
I've since redownloaded and tried again with JakeLo's latest E7440_Mojave.zip bootpack. Much like the last time, what I get here that ends the installer is:
And the kextd stall loops indefinitely.
I'm on the latest version of the BIOS, A27, and have the settings configured accordingly. Previously I was on BIOS A15. My hardware is:
Intel i5 4300U
Intel HD Graphics 4400
8GB RAM
I would like to also learn a little bit about what is going on and how it can be fixed. Apologies if something like this has been asked before, but I did a thorough look through a lot of posts on reddit and OSXLatitude and troubleshooting before coming to this conclusion.
Thanks
