Your mistake :

drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root  wheel  102 Feb 19 23:27 AppleHDA-2.kext
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root  wheel  102 Feb 20 15:16 AppleHDA.kext

I guess the AppleHDA-2.kext is the one I send you. You can't just rename a kext and hope it'll be loaded in place of the original.

 

You want a patched AppleHDA.kext ? Fine, replace the AppleHDA.kext and that's it.

 

Next :

 

From bdmesg :

4:453  0:011    Extra kext: EFI\CLOVER\kexts\10.11\realtekALC.kext

From scan of your S/L/E :

drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root  wheel  102 Feb 20 10:11 realtekALC.kext

You don't need to have 2 versions of realtekALC.kext. Leave the one in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11 and delete the one in S/L/E.

 

Last but not least and obviously the reason why you're failing so far :

 

May I ask you why there's no DSDT.aml in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched ???

 

The DSDT.aml is mandatory to have AppleHDA audio (whatever it's injected by Clover or patched) and also for a lot of other stuffs like sleep/wake, GFX injection etc.

 

System report does not lie on the later :

 

 


ATI Radeon HD 5450 Series :

  Jeu de composants : ATI Radeon HD 5450 Series
  Type : Processeur graphique (GPU)
  Bus : PCIe
  Longueur de la voie PCIe : x16
  VRAM (totale) : 5 Mo
  Fournisseur : ATI (0x1002)
  Identifiant du périphérique : 0x68f9
  Identifiant de révision : 0x0000
  Version du gestionnaire EFI : 01.00.3180

  Profondeur de pixels : Couleurs 32 bits (ARGB8888)
  Moniteur principal : Oui

  Connecté : Oui

 

Your HD 5450 is not fully activated :shock: !

 

You really really need to read thoroughly the guide and follow it to the letter especially when it comes to post-installation.

Where is the problem?  :no:

 

zml.zlib to native AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Resources
native AppleHDA with zml.zlib to S/L/E
 
with Terminal:
sudo kextcache -prelinked-kernel
 
realtekALC.kext to EFI/Clover/kexts/10.11/

I suspected that the zml.zlib was incorrect because you were using xml.zlib in your patched AppleHDA.kext_Version3 but now I'm sure it's not related at all :).

 

Problem is definitely that he didn't used any DSDT.aml meaning no HDEF device injection at all ;).

 

I'm still surprised he successfully booted without it :shock: !

SUCCESS!!!!!!! I finally have sound! I went back and used method 2. Many thanks! Now I am going to try again with a different HD :)

 

One note the config.plist in the folder has wrong address on the bottom entry. It is missing the C...just a heads up in case someone else uses the example. 

 

I am sorry - I could have sworn I copied the dsdt to the patched folder. I deleted the realtek kext from S/L/E. I rebooted and my graphics look a lot better now :)

 

I apologize but I do not fully understand what you mean by "Fine, replace the AppleHDA.kext and that's it" When you say replace it how exactly do I need to do that? Simply coy it over to the S/L/E folder? Install it to the S/L/E with kext wizard?

 

Thank you for being patient with me. I know how frustrating it must be to explain this to a new :) but I assure you I am trying to learn so I can support myself. :)

 

Edit: So when you say replace it - I use this kext?

"  Method 1:

       Use Kext Utility to install MacPeet's  AppleHDA Version 3 kext. This kext will need to be reinstalled after a system update."         

 

load it into the wizard and hit install? Do I go and delete these first?

 

drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root  wheel  102 Feb 19 23:27 AppleHDA-2.kext

drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root  wheel  102 Feb 20 15:16 AppleHDA.kext

 

Since I am using a patched kext do I go back into CC and delete these entries?

I can the Efi folder from above unfortunately not unpack

If you use the patched AppleHDA V3 then without Kext-To-Patch messages in config.plist and without realtekALC.kext
If you use the native original AppleHDA with the two zml.zlib files then Kext-To-Patch messages in config.plist and realtekALC.kext
DSDT there are in post # 1

We always like to help, but you have to implement the instructions.

For Dell 780/760 everything is in post # 1 and all necessary files are there.
What a Dell because they have and what kind of graphics?
Just fill out only once in your signature!
 
Two AppleHDA's not go. The AppleHDA in S / L / E must always be overwritten.
build new cache getting better with:
sudo kextcache -prelinked-kernel

I do have a question about my USB installer. I have used it to install hackintosh twice now. I just tried to to install another time and when I boot to the USB drive I only get an icon to boot to clover....not boot El Capitan from USB. I wonder if somehow my USB installer got corrupted. I can redo it easily but wanted to check on here to see what you guys think might have happened to it. thi

 

 

Thanks again for the great community!

Looking for some help with a new installation of El Capitan on an Optiplex 780.  Here's what is happening...

 

  • I have made the USB installer and booted from USB to reach the Clover boot screen
  • When booting into OS X installer, the Apple logo appears with a progress bar which reaches about 50% and then I lose video signal
  • The PC eventually reaches a states where the power LED on the front flashes once a second

 

Here's my setup...

  • Optiplex 780 (BIOS updated to A15)
  • E8400
  • 4GB of RAM
  • Kingston V300 120GB SSD (latest firmware)
  • Sapphire Radeon HD5450 1GB (copied DSDT to patched folder on EFI partition)

Thanks!

The experts will probably chime in to help but here is what I learned with basically the same setup and issue. It turned out that my 5450 was the issue. Take out the card and run from the onboard graphics to see if you get further. I was able to complete the install. I ordered an ASUS brand 5450 card and it was happy. The MODS on here are great at diagnosing issues.

Thanks for the quick response, I will try from the onboard and see if I get any further.

Did you have issues with the same brand and memory size of 5450?  Sapphire 5450 1GB?

No, I first tried the xfx brand from Amazon..... The one that worked was from Asus on Amazon. It was about 35.

Hi, I am having the same issue as @cfxomega stated a couple post above. I have installed OSX 10.11.3 using generic DSDT.aml posted in tutorial. After installation I replaced DSDT.aml with the XFX HD5450 1GB and now there is no display at login screen (Check video cable). Anyone can help.

Now that I have my machine pretty much just like I want it I would love to move it over to an SSD drive and keep the HD as backup. I have been trying a number of the tutorials but have had no luck on getting it to boot. I tried clonezilla which others have reported works without any post cloning work and all I get is a blinking cursor when I try to boot from it. I assume I need to run the clover bootloader on the drive? The contents of the clone copy appear to be good. Before I tried that I wanted to see if I am on the right path?

 

As always thanks for any suggestions.

Uncheck Inject ATI.

You have to install Clover in the ESP of your SSD, just like you did for the USB stick and your HDD.

Same procedure :

 

Install Clover with same settings as explained in post#1 and replace (not merge) CLOVER folder.

 

Difference is that you should use your current CLOVER folder (the one used on your HDD) since it should be now customized for your own needs.

Great! Now I can't wait to get home to try this! :)

Is it incompatible ? 

 

Others have reported using it fine but my build was doing the same thing as yours. Polyzargone suggested taking the card out and booting with the on board video. That did the trick for me. I changed to an ASUS model 5450 from amazon and it seemed fine with that one.
