  1. It's been stated for years: don't use/re-use the DSDT of a different computer model. Even though E6220 and E6320 are evidently very close, I cannot vouch that the patched DSDT of the E6220 applies to the E6320. I strongly recommend you seek the E6320 patched DSDT instead.
  2. Are the specs of your E6320 identical to those stated in my guide? Same CPU for instance? If it's different, you cannot re-use the provided CPU power management SSDT but generate your own as explicitly stated. You'll also need to regenerate the USBPorts kext with Hackintool app since your E6320 probably has a different USB ports arrangement.
  3. You've not entirely followed the instructions I provided above.
  4. Make sure you use the same Clover version as your USB installer + same EFI folder...
  5. DW1510 is now an old dual-band 802.a/b/g/n half mini-PCIe. It was last natively supported in Mojave 10.14 and dropped in Catalina with which it's only supported with those specific actions described in out wireless cards inventory thread where you'll also find references of better 802.11ac half mini-PCIe cards based on BCM4352 or BCM4360 chipsets. Those are also available at very reasonable cost. If Wikidevi died a few months ago, you can still look up specifications of wireless cards on alternative wikis if you Google a little... http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Dell_Wireless_1510_(DW1510) DW1510 is stated at 300Mbps card, i.e. most people will only get it to operate at 150Mbps max in any given direction, not at 300Mbps per sé. In practice, that means real-life rates around 100-120Mbps on 5GHz networks and around 70-100Mbps on 2.4GHz depending on surrounding environment. Here's what I get out of my own DW1510 card on a 5GHz and a 2.4GHz network at approximately 10m from my Box (300Mbps Internet access). In comparison, I get 300Mbps both ways out of my Apple 802.11ac BCM94360CD in my Latitude E6230. Generally speaking (and that should go without saying), wireless cards are of course compatible with any PC, laptop or desktop, unless computer BIOS applies a whitelist (eg: some HP or Lenovo laptops). Rest assured DW1510 is available for peanuts for a reason: it's old and, today, somehow limited performance-wise, though still entirely suitable to many people...
  6. I believe there is no need to repeat things unnecessarily...
  7. I assume that by "FakeSMC files", you actually meant FakeSMC's plugin kexts which are mandatory for HWMonitor app to display information. https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fakesmc-kozlek/downloads/ Can't see why you'd have issues with FakeSMC unless you're using it alongside similar kexts such as VirtualSMC... As usual, if you want proper assistance, please post a zipped copy of your Clover EFI or your debug files. By now, you should know the drill... Consult our FAQ section if in doubts. There are alternatives apps of course; iStat Menus for instance. https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
  8. You 1st need to install Clover on your target disk/partition. Your screenshots suggest you did not do that. If that's the case, copying the EFI folder from a provided package will be of very little use...
  9. Ok, then layout 0x01660003 that you're using is indeed the correct one. The being said, a few things to be said about your Clover config. It's probably an old one you picked up somewhere and it needs some adjustment. Proceed as described below, using Clover Configurator app: ACPI section: Add patches that rename legacy USB controllers from EHC1/EHC2 to EH01/EH02 Select FixDarwin7 fix Remove Drop OEM + Generate P States + Generate C States (these are for C2D/C2Q/1st gen Core platforms) Apply Drop tables for SSDT with id CpuPm and Cpu0Ist Select FixHeaders Boot section: Remove boot parameter kext-dev-mode=1 (it was only for Yosemite and has long been obsolete and useless) Add boot parameter nv_disable=1 Devices section: Remove all those zero/null values entered in the 8 x Faking ID fields; leave them blank Remove those nVidia properties in the Add Properties part Graphics section: Remove NVCAP value (it's for nVidia GPUs) Remove Display-cfg value (I don't believe this to be required at all) Remove ig-platform-id value (should be taken care of by Lilu + WEG) Kernel and kext Patches section: Add AppleRTC patch Once you've finished adjusting your Clover config: generate your CPU-specific power management SSDT with Pike R Alpha's well-known generator script/tool (you can Google for it) and copy it to ACPI/patched folder of your Clover EFI. remove AppleBacklightFixup kext. Not required with Lilu + WEG check that you use latest versions of your add-on kexts, especially Lilu + WEG; update as/if required
  10. We do not support distros, nor do we advocate them. You will not find much discussions about distros on this forum for sure. I totally refute that claim of yours in that respect. Distros are a pain in the backside, you don't know what's been added or removed in them. They're trouble, they're bad news, we always say to stay away from them. You've been seeking assistance and getting people to try and help you for days without the courtesy to mention that key fact until now. This is quite disrespectful to be honest. You issues clearly result from that very fact: you're using a distro. Use a standard vanilla installation and you'll find things will work much better. You're totally free to use a distro, that's your own respectable choice. Just don't come here afterwards when you find it does not work. Niresh have their own forum, go there.
  11. Guys, seriously, now we learn that all these installations attempts related to a distro !!!
  12. If you use Dr Hurt's version available here, it's clearly indicated that there is limited support for Alps v7/v8 versions and that there are issues on wake. You may want to consider an external mouse...
  13. You're using a recovery image; that's not the recommended way to install macOS. Download a proper installation package and follow our installation guides for that model. In anticipation to eventual questions on the download matter, please refer to our Pick-list. We have no OpenCore-based guides so your original post is quite misleading... As for the Ethernet, I believe you're making erroneous conclusions. You say you don't know what the NIC is, yet I gave you the model specifics. Since you appear to have Windows, you can easily confirm the model yourself.
  14. Doesn't mean much; please provide details...
  15. Looking at your posted Clover config + posted EFI folder, I believe I see several issues: 1) posted Clover config: you stated you have an Intel i7-8750H CPU, i.e. a mobile processor; I therefore assume your computer is a laptop. If this were to be confirmed, I would ask why you use the SMBIOS of an iMac, an incomplete one to that effect? SMBIOS of a MacBookPro15,x would certainly be more suitable and appropriate. your config only shows you're injecting layout-id 0x039B0000 for your UHD 630 iGPU; I'm pretty sure this is incorrect and that you need more, especially on the DVMT front. I'll look that up to make some suggestion. 2) posted EFI folder: it's unclear as to which config you use but the file "config.plist" appears to carry the same SMBIOS mistake as mentioned above. one of the configs showed many properties being injected for your UHD 630 iGPU and I would need to look into their suitability. I would suggest you try them out with the correct SMBIOS. If you had looked at CloverConfigurator's own recommendation re: graphics, you may have noticed this: I would suggest you try those recommended settings for Coffee Lake UHD graphics: injection of ig-plaform-id 0x3E9B0006 + MBP15,1 SMBIOS. You may also want to read this though it's kinda heavy stuff...
  16. Please refrain from quoting every message you reply to; it's unnecessary. Just use the Reply box at the bottom of your pages, that'll suffice.
  17. Of course faking the Intel iGPU id with that of a non-exiting one removes the error; no graphics driver loads in that case, hence the minimal VRAM. You have not fully understood how things worked. When you stop faking that invalid id, macOS tries to load CFL graphics drivers. What you need to ensure is that your iGPU properties are Ok for the OS to properly boot. Look up existing guides/threads pertaining to CFL UHD 630 and adjust your Clover properties injection accordingly. Of course and as suggested by Jake Lo, check your BIOS settings too.
  18. Do you actually understand that by faking id 0x12345678 for your iGPU, you're actually telling the OS your have a non-existing Intel iGPU? This makes the OS boot in VESA (un-accelerated/default/basic graphics) mode. The error message you see in the boot log is not necessarily an issue. Make sure you actually inject the correct properties for your CFL UHD 630 iGPU. The info is readily available.
  19. Please refer to post #1. Developments on this kext stopped several years ago.
  20. Is LAN enabled in BIOS? If so, the guide posted here provide the required driver for the standard Intel 82579LM card of those Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge E6xx0 generations. You should therefore see your card in the Network PrefPane. You may also see it listed and identify it by MAC address when you type Terminal command: ifconfig But I suspect you're trying to do something unsupported on a Hackintosh more than anything else...
  21. Please refrain from off-topic posting such matters in an unrelated thread such as an E5440 Catalina installation topic. This being said, no difference to be expected as far as performance is concerned. Upgrade or not upgrade, the matter is entirely up to you.
  22. https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/11410-dell-latitude-7490-with-i7-8650u-intel-uhd-620-and-1920x1080-lcd-mojavecatalina/?do=findComment&comment=94753
  23. You probably ought to get another card then.
