Then you may try and experiment with darkwake boot arg.

Did you disable hibernation after upgrading to Catalina? If you did not, please refer to our FAQ section.

Nothing to worry about those ACPI errors; you may just need some additional tuning re: DSDT/ACPI patching

Please consult our FAQ section on the matter.

You may contact Chris1111 at InsanelyMac.

Your patched DSDT did include the appropriate Darwin injection that enables USB3.0 capability. However, you have an additional USB-related SSDT and a few USB-related patches on your Clover config. I suggest you proceed as follows: 1) remove the USB-related SSDT + USB-related Clover patches. 2) assuming you've removed all those unnecessary kexts you had, reboot with only USBInjectAll kext for USB ports. 3) upon reboot, run Hackintool app and generate the SSDT-UAIC table + USBPorts kext. 4) you may then reboot with either USBPorts kext on its own or USBInjectAll + the generated SSDT-UAIC. All your USB ports should be operational and with USB3 capability. Check your SysInfo->USB section to that effect.

From a pure cache rebuilding point of view, it is correct. From a kext point of view, well, I question the relevance of some of those kexts you've chosen to install (VoodooTSCSync, NullCPUPowerManagement, etc.). You're clearly not using the pack Jake Lo gave you...

-> Topic moved to its own thread. Please don't hijack/pollute existing threads with unrelated matters and/or unrelated platforms. It's been mentioned a few times before that, as per previous Clover OS X/macOS installations, you can update directly through your Software Update PrefPane; just make sure to apply the Embedded Controller ACPI device renaming to your Clover config or patched DSDT, as per our published requirements for Catalina or the info available on p1 of the thread you previously posted in.

Warning can be ignored, it's of no consequence to rebuilding the cache.

Moving this thread from Installation Guides section (where it's got nothing to do) to OS X/macOS section. Please make every effort to post in the appropriate section(s) in the future... I don't think anyone will understand what tool you're talking about but rest assured that there never was any need for tools on the matter, whether in Catalina or any previous Mac OS X/OS X/macOS version, especially as those tools clearly appear to keep people in the dark with regards to what's behind and how things work. You may consult our FAQ section where you'll find details of the Terminal commands you may use to repair permissions and rebuild you cache directly.

Bronxteck recently reminded us of links Apple publish in relation to creating bootable installers for OS X and macOS from El Capitan 10.11, so here's a link to the related main page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372 Very useful as a replacement to the old AppStore method that allowed registered users to re-download an OS X/macOS installation package if they had already done so in the past. 8GB USB keys/flash disks required up to Catalina, 16GB from Big Sur. Whilst the information is obviously meant for Apple Mac computers, it's nevertheless 100% relevant to the 1st phase of creating USB installers for Hackintosh computers, the 2nd phase being the necessary installation of the bootloader (Chameleon/Enoch, Clover or otherwise).

Unbrick? What are you talking about?

Wrong pack, you need to use the Optimus A23 one.

I can only assume you mean Jake Lo's guide. Which bootpack are we talking about here because there are several and 2 x of them are Optimus ones, i.e. those you'd need depending on BIOS version.

Did you install the SSDT that disables the Nvidia GPU?

How did you solve your LAN issue? Re: wireless, look up our FAQ section.

I've no idea to be honest; the wifi indicator is usually unsupported on Hackintosh and turned off.

Your patched DSDT injects layout 2, so that's incorrect and clearly clashes with your other audio settings: Device (HDEF) { Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000) // _ADR: Address [...] Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) // _DSM: Device-Specific Method { [...] Return (Package (0x0C) { [...] "layout-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, [...] }) } } Remove that from your HDEF _DSM, clear the item counter of the Return Package line (or reduce it from 12 to 10), recompile the DSDT and you will be good to go. Re: DW1510, did you consult our wireless cards inventory ? Because the answer is there...

Audio works with Lilu + AppleALC + injection of layout 12. The stuff you posted shaw that you do, so there could be an issue with your patched ACPI tables (not provided). Wireless depends entirely on the card you use. Refer to our FAQ section and wireless cards inventories.

Yes, that's a well-known boot glitch we all encounter. The old IOGraphicsFamily patch used to take care of that but WEG now does (and I can confirm this on my E6230). If it's not the case for you which would surprise me, you could always try to re-instate the old patch but you'd have to check if Catalina would use the same one as Mojave for instance. Your kext set is very messy and contains numerous kexts that are irrelevant, not required and contradictory. Those will impact the usability and operation of your E6530 Hackintosh. I'm talking about kexts related to irrelevant chipsets (Series 200, x99, nForce, Via), CPU power management (NullCPUPM), audio (patched AppleHDA vs. AppleALC), etc. I suggest you look into (and use) the Clover packs available in our various recent E6x30 guides to address this as well as patched ACPI tables so that you have a fully and properly working Hack (with USB3 functionality).

Updated to BIOS A20 and all runs Ok (with A19 patched DSDT).

Just updated BIOS to A20 and all is working perfectly with Cover patches and patched A19 DSDT. This being said try and adjust your Clover config with Clover configurator app to compare: ACPI config remove PluginType Add Drop SSDT CpuPm Add Drop SSDT Cpu0Ist

You should open up your own thread and post your debug package. This thread is now getting seriously off-topic, being about Mojave 10.14.2...

Booting straight into Sleep usually is a sign of incorrect settings for CPU power management but you seem to have all in order. I see a CPU-specific SSDT for an i5-3320M matching your signature so I presume you generated it yourself since it appears it was compiled under 10.15.1. Everything indicates you used my E6230 Clover boot pack so I think it's fair to say you also followed my guide. Did you install any kexts in /S/L/E or /L/E for caching too are are you just injected kexts from Clover? The only obvious thing that differs between our individual setups (outside the Bluetooth kexts which, imo, are irrelevant to your predicament) is the BIOS version; I run A19 when you're still on A11. I would most certainly recommend you update to A19 too. A new version A20 got out since since I myself updated but I've not proceeded to install it; maybe it's time I do...

Are you still using that Niresh distro? If you do we can't help you. If you now use a vanilla macOS installation package and follow the guidance available in those links Jake Lo provided you with, no reason why it would fail beyond typical things like defective USB key or incorrect BIOS settings. If in doubt re: BIOS settings, Jake Lo's guides usually advise to reset BIOS settings to factory default and set set disk mode to AHCI among a few other things. Looking at his E7240/E7440 guide, it certainly is the case. I will now close and archive this Niresh-related thread.
