That's nothing to worry about.

@aggoy, please stop the off-topic and open up your own thread. I remind you that this thread is entitled "E5520 CLOVER BOOT MENU DOES NOT RECOGNIZE KEYBOARD AND TOUCHPAD". Thank you.

We have a Search facility on the forum. Don't hesitate to use it... You'll then be able to refer to the existing thread on the matter posted in the R&D->Card readers forum sub-section. Re: kexts: for kexts injected through Clover: you simply trash them for kexts cached through /L/E (or /S/L/E): you trash them and rebuild the cache

The "invalid signature" messages are all to be expected and all Ok since you're caching add-on kexts that were not signed by Apple. This has been the case since Yosemite or El Capitan... Again, there would appear to be a fairly substantial difference between kexts injected by Clover (in the Clover kexts folder) and those shown on your screenshot of /L/E. It's going to be difficult to help you until you start giving the complete picture...

There seems to be several kexts that shouldn't be there... And your cache clearly does not rebuild. Are you sure you've copied kexts to /L/E? They seem to be in /L ... Try and use the following commands (copy/paste them): sudo cp -Rf BrcmPatchRAM2.kext /Library/Extensions/ sudo cp -Rf BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext /Library/Extensions/ sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E* sudo touch -f /L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U / It seems you had somme dodgy hidden character in "-Boot" statement...

VoodooHDA only operates with AppleHDADisabler, not without. You cannot have AppleHDA + AppleALC working alongside VoodooHDA + AppleHDADisabler. That should go without saying...

Well, your USB ports are clearly not setup properly. Try the usual fine-tuning: USBInjectAll kext or generation of your own USB injector, USB3/USB2 multiplexing, DSDT USB device power settings, etc.

Probably not enough power to the USB ports; very common. Might work if you have a dual-port cable. Compare the "Current" values displayed on your Macs and on your 9020SFF.

MyHack cannot be run in any OS X version beyond Mavericks. You'll have to run an older OS X version in your VM.

Realtek RTL8723xx are unsupported. You'll have to replace that card by a supported model or USB adapter. Please consult the FAQ section on the matter.

I only have Nawcom's modCD/modUSB, nothing else. Conti's original web site remains fully available. http://myhack.sojugarden.com/guide/ We've also kept a copy of myHack v3.1.2 and v3.3.1 here at OSXL.

Yeah, I have a copy of Nawcom's modCD/modUSB somewhere too. That put me through my 1st vanilla SL install on a D420...

I think OP is looking for old distros memorablia. You know, the old Hazard, iDeneb or Leo4All of days gone by. I should still have an old iDeneb 10.5.6 DVD somewhere. That's what got me started a few years ago on Pentium M...

Absolutely. You can then boot High Sierra through Enoch but all updates will require that you use your Clover-based USB key to finalise them. That's all.

See here. Read both threads.

Night Shift is linked to SMBIOS so make sure you're using the profile of a model that supports the feature (HD4000 and later). Failing that, you have to apply a patch to add support for your own particular SMBIOS model.

Your Clover config is a little strange: I see no SMBIOS profile at all. Did you delete that on purpose? If you cannot sleep/hibernate with a USB device plugged in, check that your BIOS does not have USB Wake enabled. Then you may also want to apply the usual power setting patches to the USB controllers (EH0x, XHC).

You can use CMD+SHIFT+3 for full screen dump and CMD+SHIFT+4 followed by Space then left click to select a window to capture. That'll always be better that a telephone picture. See Keyboard PrefPane... This being said, what do you need assistance with? If it's the touchscreen, please use the forum Search facility. I know there are threads about E5450 that reported working touchscreens, so look them up.

It's entirely up to you; you have all the info now...

Hibernation settings tend to revert to defaut values after upgrades; check them and disable hibernation again if necessary.

We're getting off-topic but are you sure you don't want to limit your upgrade to El Capitan and retain nVidia graphics? You'll like your E6420 Hackintosh a lot less if you run it on HD3000 only. Now I say that, I say nothing...

If you're using Enoch, please post the Extra folder you're using. If you're using Clover, please post the EFI folder you're using. Please add your system's specs in signature. I remain unclear as to whether you possess the nVidia model or not... In case you do, please note that NVS 4200M is Fermi GF119 (similar to GeForce GT610) which is supported up to El Capitan but unsupported from Sierra onwards. As such, the nVidia dGPU needs to be disabled in order to run solely on the HD3000 iGPU. Apparent side effects is that HDMI + VGA outputs are lost (wired to dGPU I guess). I invite you to run a Search for "4200M Sierra" and read the threads of the resulting list. In all cases, please note that HD3000 will be a little buggy at times in all versions beyond Yosemite (glitches, lines across the screen). It's somehow less visible if you max out RAM to 8GB and therefore get 512MB allocated to the iGPU. You may also notice that these defects worsen over time, especially if you hardly reboot the laptop and keep it running over time through repeated Sleep/Wake.

'found an old Realtek RTL8139D PCI card whist clearing out old computer stuff. It's an ancient Connectland CR-CNL-FAST-R model dating back to 2008/2009... http://www.connectland.eu/products/fiche/category_id/133/culture/en/id/167/name/10-100-mbps-fast-ethernet-pci-card Gave it a shot in my old Vostro200 running High Sierra and Mojave. Installed the old IONetworkingFamily fat-binary kext from osx86.net and the card still works under macOS! First drivers for this card were released for OS X 10.1/10.2! IONetworkingFamily.kext.zip Note that the card is not supported by Mieze's RTL810x FastEthernet driver. Initially, I only installed the RTL8139 kext in /L/E and that brought the card to life but no traffic passed. The card only fully worked once I actually installed the entire IONetworkingFamily kext in /L/E, without touching the vanilla equivalent in /S/L/E. There must have been some dependancies... After the usual permissions repair + cache rebuild + reboot, the card was 100% functional. There goes an old 32bit PCI (not PCIe) card in macOS High Sierra and Mojave! Must work in all previous versions from Snow Leopard to Sierra too. vostro200:~ admin$ lspci -nn [...] 00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection [8086:10c0] (rev 02) [...] 04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Just follow the existing guides.

You can try and experiment with the various layouts:
