trifle

@lorys89 - my deepest gratitude to you for your previous work, I've added your name to the list of people I would like to acknowledge for providing similar packages that helped me formulate the packs that I have posted. @GASMOKE If you wish to use trifle's OC pack, with Mojave or Catalina, you must change SecureBootModel to Disabled. Please download and review the 7480-build-notes provided with the packs.

Thank you! Those were very helpful suggestions. Thank you! I used these suggestions for matching the AirportItlwm to version. Thanks to baio77 for suggesting disabling HPET and duplicate XPET injected. Thanks to Herve for suggesting MinDate/MinVersion == -1 for older systems Thanks to Hecatomb for suggesting MinKernel/MaxKernel for selecting Kext by range of kernel versions Please refer to contents of attached 'oc83-7480-current.zip' to understand what I write next. Big problem: Ventura beta 4 downloads 1.2GB beta 5, but freezes at the 25 minute mark. Update: Problem was averted by booting from Clover. See updated attachments and build notes in the first page of this topic. Update 23-Aug-2022: When OS upgrade to Monterey failed, I reviewed the OpenCore config settings and made changes. The OS upgrades now work without changing bootloaders. The first page in this topic has updated Clover and OpenCore packs.

Update 23-Aug-2022: Replaced SSDT-USBX.aml; Removed _DSM patch from Clover pack; Fixed freeze seen during OS upgrades. Update 15-Aug-2022: See build notes, efi for clover 5148 and opencore 0.8.3 are included. Same ACPI and currently released kernel extensions were used for both bootloaders. I have successfully ported Ventura onto a Latitude 7480, with recent Clover and recent Opencore bootpacks. Both are attached here. The bootpacks work for 10.14, 10.15, 11, 12 and 13. 10.14 and 10.15 do not have the point stick working, though. Several challenges for this port: 1. Kabylake CPU, Skylake era support circuits 2. PS/2 keyboard, I2C trackpad and dual point stick. 3. Letting go of assumptions and old techniques. Still working on that! I apologize in advance if I failed to note your contribution. I want to thank all the people who have made the pieces and provided information that makes this work so well.

Wired ethernet Works on Mojave and Catalina Just Copied the RealtekRTL8111.kext contents to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ Thank you!

Added to kexts/Other, InjectKexts== Yes. Copied to /LIbrary/Extensions, set perms, ran kextcache -Boot -U /. Reboot. No improvement for the Realtek. Debug data attached

Hi. I really appreciate what everyone here does for support. I've have had success installing ElCapitan, Sierra, and Mojave with Latitude 6230, XPS 9350, and moderate success with Latitude 6320. Now I turn to the community to ask for a starter pack for a Dell desktop, probablly best to start with Sierra. I have the USB genned up with the install image, just need the suggested kexts and config.plist for the desktop. Here is a summary of the specs: Dell Inspiron 3847 Aptio/AMI BIOS A11.65.10, Motherboard 088DT1 vA01 Intel Core i5-4460 @3.2GHz, Haswell, HD4600 graphics DW1705/QCA9565 Wireless Realtek RTL8111 Ethernet lspci shows 'Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen rev 06' HD audio Thank you for any advice or suggestions you may offer.

Hi, I'm using similar instructions for setup. I think you can edit the Kernel Flags settings to your benefit. Showing a delta here. I hope this helps you. --- Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist 2016-04-10 07:56:44.000000000 -0400 +++ /Volumes/OS X Base System/Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist 2016-05-05 09:12:35.000000000 -0400 @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> - <string>darkwake=0 rootless=0</string> + <string>rootless=0 -v -f</string> <key>SystemType</key> <string>2</string> <key>Theme</key>
