mSATA SSDs would not be mSATA if they had a built-in SATA controller, they'd be mini-PCIe cards... The only mini-PCIe SSDs that you may find today will be IDE/PATA (with built-in controller), not SATA. By definition, an mSATA SSD operates like a regular SATA SSD and connects to a SATA I/O controller via an mSATA interface just like an IDE/PATA disk connects an an IDE/PATA I/O controller through an IDE/PATA interface. This was subject of lengthy discussions many years ago. I remember a topic in which I engaged on the very matter back in 2015 at IM: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308127-question-regarding-msata-on-eeepc-901-which-has-a-mini-pcie-slot/ http://www.supertalent.com/products/ssd_category_detail.php?type=Mobile Computing&category=Laptop

+1. No AppSore PrefPane under Mojave...

And if you place the kext to /S/L/E or as a PlugIn of IO80211Family kext?

You will not find any mSATA SSD with built-in SATA controller.

You are most definitely mistaken, not Dell's personnel. The mini-PCIe/USB slots of the E6x30 series are not mSATA capable. Argue all you want; won't change anything... mSATA support was introduced in the E6x40 series. Any mSATA SSDs you'd fit in your E6330 could only be attached to a SATA slot, through an adapter. Don't torture your brain and get a regular 2.5" SATA-3 SSD. Any will do.

You're probably mistaken. And, please don't link to that place. No double/multiple posts either.

To re-focus the thread on tits initial and entitled topic, ALC292 audio on this model couldn't be easier to activate: vanilla AppleHDA in /S/L/E AppleALC + Lilu kexts in Clover's Other folder or cached from /L/E audio layout #12 (0x0C) injected in DSDT or through Clover config and that's it. This has been listed, relisted, posted and re-posted dozens of time in many E6x40/E7x40 threads. There's absolutely no need to do anything with FBPatcher or anything of the sort. Keep it simple and to the point.

Guys, no need to quote when replying directly; it defeats the purpose...

And if layout 13 does not work, do try layout 3.

Please refer to the Wireless & Bluetooth forum section. DW1560 is based on BCM4352 chipset which is not supported OOB and requires patching.

Mojave runs on Sandy Bridge Ok; you just have to apply a few tricks like patched PlatformSupport.plist (ideally) and installation of SNB graphics kexts from, say, HS 10.13.6. It's long been explained/detailed how... For the rest, it's just as usual. I would never recommend Mojave on an HD3000 laptop since that old iGPU has been prone to buggy graphics since El Capitan. It can only get worse with a macOS version that bears no support for it.

You must patch the FB/display connector that HDMI output is attached to. It should be FB@1 (connector 0x0105) and the priority must be changed from 0x09 to 0x12 with connector-type changed to HMDI, i.e. 0x00080000. Full details are available here:

Graphics acceleration is not due to FakePCIID_Intel_HD kext which is actually not required at all. Graphics acceleration is obtained through "Inject Intel" + suitable Capri layout-id injection OR Lilu + WEG kexts. SD card reader -> please post specs (PCI ids) and consult our R&D->Card reader section Sleep -> Probably due to unpatched USB ports. You'd normally have to inject power properties as per on a real Mac TouchPad -> try and identify your TouchPad model. If Alps, yoiu should be Ok with Dr Hurt's VoodooPS2Controller R6 as compiled & posted by Bronxteck. Look it up in Dr Hurt's dedicated theread in R&D->kexts section.

Arf, there's simply no timeout in the o.c.B.plist of the Sierra bootpack, that's all. I take it you did not know that, when the Chameleon/Enoch little rotating character appears in top left corner of the screen, you can press [F8] to interrupt timed/auto startup and be able to enter boot options/boot flags like -v.

Each guide has got the right bootpack and kexts. Kexts have been tuned to the SMBIOS that fits the hardware and OS X/macOS version requirements. It's specified in the Sierra guide. Again, in the case of Sierra, if you're getting a "Waiting for root device" error message, unplug the USB installer and try it in the 3 x other USB ports.

Oh yes, I think I had that too. Try unplugging but replugging into another USB port. If you change SMBIOS profile, you have to modify FakeSMC + USB injector accordingly!

@RamiTrainFan, for goodness sake, RTFM and use the Search facilities! Anything else you need asistance with?

Where does your Sierra installer hang? What does it say on screen?

Single-user mode, if you manage to partially boot the system that way...

Did you check our FAQ section?

If you run with latest lilu + WEG, make sure you do not inject any Intel graphics properties in your Clover config.

Intel i5-5250U CPU is Broadwell generation and integrates Intel HD 6000 graphics indeed. As such, I was quite surprised to see a reference to Haswell graphics Azul framebuffer kext in your posted KP. Obviously, something must be wrong on your configuration... Looking at your Clover configuration, I could see: Devices section: injection of some ATI + nVidia properties as well as quite a lot of properties for audio, HDMI audio and Intel graphics properties Graphics section: Inject ATI + Inject nVidia enabled SMBIOS section: incomplete MPB12,1 entry I'd say your issues come from those device properties you chose to inject, knowing that: you should not inject any ATI and nVidia properties if you intend to run on HD6000 graphics you should not enable any ATI and nVidia injection in your Graphics section if you load latest lilu + WEG kexts which seems to be the case Did you come up with this particular config by yourself or did you just get it from somewhere without knowing what it does?

Replace the platform support plist by the patched version and revert to MBP8,1 SMBIOS? You should always install your add-on kexts in /L/E rather than /S/L/E unless you absolutely have to. I take it that you've already added all necessary SNB graphics kexts from a previous macOS version, right?

Erm... "Save as" option in IORegistryExplorer maybe... 'needs to be zipped before upload. We'll then see whether you use layout 0x16160002 or not and if you patches are effective or not. I'd also ask that you explain/detail how you applied the patches.

@flexrac, if DW1830 is not M.2, I don't know what M.2 is... @jean512, I have to re-install OS X/macOS on the Toshiba laptop that I have at home. Should be done over the week-end. I've already fitted the DW1820A in it.
