Can you compress and attach it here using the More Reply Options on lower right.? I can't access google drive my our proxy

@vanquybn Same, no change

Replace bootpack with this.

Indeed, your spec is different than most E5430 which has HD4000, good to know this bit of information. What's the display resolution?

It means it's no longer detecting your USB drive. Boot to the Clover GUI, hit F4. Then compress and upload the origin folder here. I'll patch the DSDT for you which is needed to get your USB detected at that stage. /Volumes/ESP/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Origin

Try removing the DSDT and SSDT, then boot without cache

Go to your BIOS. Click load Default, apply. Then go change SATA Operations to AHCI, apply again. Reboot to the USB installer and see if it makes a difference.

@cnrd, Is this the Skylake system?

A bit of update here. Just figured why it's not detecting my internal SSD (by the way, it's not NVMe). My DSDT patching was not correct and inadvertently disabled SATA drives. By removing my DSDT, I was successful in installing to the internal drive. Here's a screenshot of MacOS Sierra. Not quite ready, with some artifacts on the upper left corner, audio and brightness Fn keys don't work, sleeping issue, but promising.

Use an USB keyboard to complete the build. No sure why your internal keyboard is not work. VoodooPS2Controller is needed to get your Keyboard, trackstick and trackpad to work. You may use alternative PS2 controller kext but will only get generic mouse and touchpad movement. With the specific VoodooPS2Controller for Alps, you have 2 fingers scrolling, drag and drop... Though with the same name VoodooPS2Controller (confusing), there are numerous versions specific for Synaptics, Alps, Cypress...etc.

Seems all versions of VoodooPS2Controller are causing KP on 10.12. Replace it with ApplePS2Controller from my E7450 bootpack

The ACPI and Kexts folders and Config.plist should be placed in EFI_Clover/Clover. Then rename EFI_Clover to just EFI

I'll update the guide. You should be selecting the USB Installer (depending on your USB device's model), in your case, it's correct. Not sure why it rebooted, can you go through the boot step again, when you see the Clover GUI, hit spacebar. Then select boot without cache. Also make sure you have all the files in the correct directory.

Actually your patches are for AppleHDA and not VoodooHDA. Only thing is you're missing a extra patch for 10.11.x. Add this Name find* replace* Comment Type AppleHDA 8319D411 00000000 Additional AppleHDA patch for ElCapitan STRING

look for the hot patches in clover config KextToPatch in my Clover bootpack for E6420 or E6220. Just the AppleHDA patches.

No, it's already set to the correct ID Return (Package (0x06) { "layout-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x0C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },

You need to remove voodooHDA and AppleHDADisabler. Also make sure layout-id in DSDT under HDEF is set to 12 (hex 0x0C) In addition to that you'll need the hot patches added to the Clover Config.plist file. See my bootpack for the files if you don't have them.

@MikeGiff I"m assuming you're on Clover? and was working prior to upgrading? Boot without cache, repair permission and rebuild cache reboot in normal mode

Use Fn+F3 and Fn+Insert for brightness control

make sure the following are set in the config.plist <key>RtVariables</key><dict> <key>BooterConfig</key> <string>0x28</string> <key>CsrActiveConfig</key> <string>0x67</string> </dict>

Yes it should unless you don't have the EFI partition set up correctly and might be reading from other sources.

do you have SIP disabled? did you run permission fix and rebuild cache? 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 /

Use PlistEdit Pro just paste the whole thing right below so it looks like this <key>KextsToPatch</key> Comment 0x0a260006 9MB cursor bytes patch Find BgAmCgEDAwMAAAACAAAwAQAAYAA= Name AppleIntelFramebufferAzul Replace BgAmCgEDAwMAAAACAAAwAQAAkAA= Comment External icons patch Disabled Find RXh0ZXJuYWw= Name AppleAHCIPort Replace SW50ZXJuYWw=

Post the KP screenshot

Replace kext from update section AppleHDAIDT.kext
