Tetonne Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 thanks for last pack tluck did someone test this : clover-genconfig is able to produce all your injection keys used at last successful boot including automatic properties when inject=YES. But not including _DSM methods.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgn123 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hi guys, I need help! I tried fresh installing 10.13.5 on my T420 with tluck's Lenovo-T420-Clover-2018.06.04 pack. Booting from the USB get stuck at this screenshot attached below. I tried a few things and figured out that if the patched/dsdt.aml is removed, then it loads fine. So I went ahead and installed 10.13.5. Now I have the same problem with booting from the SSD. It gets stuck with the patched\dsdt.aml and boots to MacOS without it. Same problem with dsdt.edid-hs.aml. I have attached my ACPI/original folder here if you could help. I installed AppleHDA_20672.kext to S/L/E but sound doesn't work. Lenovo T420 i5 8GB 128G SSD Intel HD3000 1600x900 Thanks! origin.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) @jgn123 hmm odd that to be a problem with DSDT since you seem to have the same base DSDT as me. 1.46. i dont know why it doesnt work with an SSD? my system has one?

Somez Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hi tluck, I've read somewhere that disabling ALPM in the BIOS (Aggressive Link Power Management) could solve the freezing issues so I'm testing that now. However that topic also said we should try disabling trim with the command trimforce disable. I disabled the TRIM but now I want to turn it back. However I'm not sure whether it's disabled or enabled by default for the T420. Before disabling I tried trimforce help hoping it will tell me the current status (enabled/disabled) but it did not. So I'm not sure whether TRIM must be enabled using this command or not. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somez Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Well, this is interesting. The freezes have not gone util I removed my HDD which was sitting in the optibay caddy. Now the system is running on purely SSD and no freezes so far. The problem is, I need that HDD I'm going to be testing this further with SSD only and will report back.

The only way prevent freezing is when I stop at the logon screen and don't login. So I now need to figure out the reason behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: so i tried Mojave with my T420 and it is working. i copied the all HD3000 and SNB kexts, bundles and plugins over from High Sierrra. i had to copy the Atheros kext to get WiFi working. at first copied the HD3000 to /Library/Extensions and i wasnt getting full 3D graphics - so then copied everything to /S/L/E and then full GFX!!! Pretty much all I had to do was update Lilu and AppleALC to the latest revs then added 3 boot args: -no_compat_check -lilubetaall -alcbeta Edited July 9, 2018 by tluck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tluck Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) so i switched to model MBP9,1 instead of MBP8,1 and now its acts like a supported Mac. I was able to download Mojave from the App Store directly Been running mojave on my T420 and my real MBP for a few days now and its pretty solid. Note: if i boot with MBP9,1 I get random panics related to USB. MBP8,1 works but is not a *supported* platform. I just reposted the latest release on github... that may help with Audio support for Mojave (and High Sierra) .. Older releases will remain for Sierra etc. Edited July 20, 2018 by tluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
