"Sorted Order" field is for patched SSDT tables that you may inject in a specific order. By default, all will be loaded so no need to do anything in the present case. If, for reasons I cannot explain, the patched DSDT causes renewed issues, simply remove the file from Clover's EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder. that or you specify "BIOS.aml" in the DSDT field of the ACPI section of your Clover config (you'll see this in Clover Configurator app).

With the revised DSDT posted last Sunday, yes. But if it still fails for you for some reason, you can bypass it by opting for "BIOS.aml" as DSDT name in Clover's Options->ACPI patching menu available from the main menu at startup. The DSDT is only patched for Fn-F11/Fn-F12 brightness control and I've posted all the details of the patch, so folks can patch their own extracted DSDT if desired.

It does not look like a KP actually, does the laptop reset/reboot afterwards? Are you using the revised pack I posted on Sunday? Because the DSDT I had posted before caused that... Just in case, you can try and go to Options->ACPI patching->DSDT from Clover main menu and bypass the patched DSDT by selecting "BIOS.aml" as DSDT name.

1st thing 1st, about the process: I've very clearly stated that you copy the files and folders of the posted Clover pack to the EFI/Clover folder of your mounted EFI partition. So, you do not "copy whole EFI" from my guide per sé, no. It's probably just poor/shortcut writing but it's important to be very precise and specific in everything you do in Hackintoshing matters. Now, the main info... Your signature states that you have a DW1820A wireless card and you therefore need to inject the necessary properties to boot the USB installer and your subsequent macOS installation. These properties not present in the Clover config of the pack since all 7490 cannot be expected to be fitted with that kind of card. Please refer to my BCM4350 guide will all due attention and adjust your Clover config accordingly. But, given that you may still have issues depending on the exact DW1820A model fitted to your 7490, you may want to temporarily disable wireless in BIOS until you've installed macOS, identified the exact model you've got at hands and, if applicable, injected the required properties. You may then engage in DW1820A troubleshooting but of all 3 x models I tested in the 7490, only part #OVW3T3 was fully and properly supported. If you do not have that model, I suggest you replace it by a DW1560 card which is fully supported.

We re-re-re-re-re-re-re-confirm: to this day, no kext, won't work. Feel free to buzz Sinetek on the matter and donate if you wish. He had kinda briefly resurrected work on those Realtek card readers last May.

You may follow what I described In my Latitude 7490 or Latitude E6230 guides.

And the message about USB devices is perfectly normal: USB ports do not usually retain power when the laptop sleeps... At least when running on battery.

I meant a complete saved output from SysProfiler but never mind.

Dell Latitude 7490 with Transcend MTS420S M.2 2242 240GB SATA SSD (SATA-III connection @6Gb/s)

Dell Latitude 7490 (PCIe v3.0 x4 M.2 slot) with Samsung 960 EVO M.2 2280 250GB NVME SSD (Gen3 x4)

I really can't say more than what I described in the guide. The kexts I posted in my Clover pack all worked Ok for me (and for other people too).

Post zipped IOReg extract + SysProfiler saved output.

Clover versions older than r4911 should not be used beyond Mojave 10.14.3.

So far, the E6230 runs Catalina beta versions with same set of kexts used with preceding macOS versions. For TouchPad, you're expected to stick with the same VoodooPS2Controller kext that we've been using for a few years (Dr Hurt's R6 version, compiled by Bronxteck). We've had guides for this model for years and I recommend you follow what we've posted in them. Do search the forum before posting, you'd highly likely find what you need, especially for older models such as this one that have been Hackintoshed for years.

Mojave does not officially support neither Core2Duo platforms, nor old nVidia Tesla dGPU such as the Quadra NVS 160M (not Metal compatible). You can run Mojave on C2D platforms with special tricks but getting old non-Metal dGPU got harder and harder to the point where it's cumbersome. Your E6500 with NVS 160M will support and run High Sierra perfectly and my advise is that you stick to 10.13 to begin, especially if you're not an experienced Hackintosher. It remains a fully modern, appropriate and usable macOS version. Of course, you'll have to replace that Intel wireless card since Intel cards are not supported at all. Please refer to our R&D->Wireless section for non-exhaustive inventories of supported models. Cellular, well, "compatible" means nothing... You'll have to identify the model. But that's totally secondary. I invite you to refer to our existing guides for similar C2D laptop models (eg: Latitude D630 or D830 of the previous generation) for which the detailed process will 100% apply, you'll just need to adjust some of the kexts (drivers) to match your E6500 hardware (eg: LAN, audio, etc.)

No. It's also already been discussed at great length on the forum as you must have seen... Those Fermi chips are not properly supported in macOS so the buck stops at El Capitan. NB: Please don't post in Sierra threads that have been dead for 3 years to share about your High Sierra experience. Thank you.

We already have this covered on the forum, including a full installation guide and a High Sierra Clover pack for E6420/E6520 with NVS disabled through patched DSDT/SSDT. Please use the forum Search facility with the obvious keywords that you seem to know already (tags).

Since it's not I2C and that the driver also applies to older Ivy Bridge/Haswell Latitude laptops, it's fair to say you can give Dr Hurt's VoodooPS2Controller R6 kext a try. You'll find it in our R&D->kexts section.

What kind of TouchPad/TrackPad is this model fitted with? Keyboard brightness control is more a matter of DSDT than PS2Controller kext. I've detailed the patch I use in my E6230/7490/E7250 in each relevant guide. Patch info comes from the post made by @jpz4085 in Dr Hurt's PS2Controller thread. Works well in those laptops and will probably be relevant to your laptop too. No harm in trying, at worse it'll change nothing...

If you still have it, sure. But, here, I was able to boot my USB installer with pack #6, leaving the DSDT aside. Mojave is now installed and bootable without the DSDT.

It's the patched DSDT causing problem; I need to investigate. You should be able to boot if you select BIOS.aml rather than DSDT.aml through Clover's main boot menu->Options->ACPI patching.

Hold on, I added the device properties for my DW1820A and I'm getting KP all the time now when booting the USB installer. Same if I remove those DW1820A properties. Let me check...

I get to the Mojave installation screen without issues with my Clover pack #6. There must be something you've not followed in the process detailed in the guide...

I've got a new NVME SSD; let me put it in my 7490 and try a fresh Mojave installation on it with my pack #6. I'll let you know if there's something odd with it.

Is this a vanilla installation or a distro?
