Hi Working on an install of Sierra on Dell E6530 which has gone well up to a point. I have been following the excellent guide by Hervé from here. Had to do some work arounds as things seem to be a little different for E6530 than E6230 (which the guide was written for) but now at the stage where Enoch will boot the main OSX installation but it will stop with a message stating that AppleACPICPU kext has timed out. If you wait for a while you get the Apple splash screen and timer but the timer does not count down and booting has stopped. Booting with -x option and I can boot completely and OSX works pretty well but no sound and probably some other missing kexts. My E6530 has an i7 processor (i7-3630QM) so the Extra folder kexts from the E6230 guide may not be correct or there may be some other incompatibility. Can someone point me as to what to try? I guess I may need a different DSDT.aml? Other information which might be useful Have not copied kexts to S/L/E - they are being injected Standard HD screen but I intend to upgrade to 1080p one install complete. No NVidia graphics card. Has Intel WIFI card but have ordered DW1510 card to replace - currently using wired Ethernet connection Bios is A11 Disk is conventional HDD but will transfer contents to SSD when install complete - SATA is ACHI. 8GB ram Cheers
