Install on DELL Latitude 7370

From 'yours from the guide', I mean this one. "Using Haswell MacBookAir6,2 until Clover has support for Skylake identifiers" under the SMBIOS. You want me to get power management working, this is one of the steps outlined in your guide.

There does not seem to be an issue using Haswell SMBIOS with Skylake.

There does not seem to be an issue using Haswell SMBIOS with Skylake.

Just checking, since I figured it was important to get the right CPU matched with the right architecture.

Ok, I made my SMBios the MacbookPro11,2, and ran the power management script:
Warning: 'cpu-type' may be set improperly (0x0605 instead of 0x0905)


Error: board-id [Mac-7DF21CB3ED6977E5] not supported by Skylake – check SMBIOS data / use the -target option

Alright. I'm done. I'm going back to real Macs, since this is stupid-hard. I've tried just about everything I can. This has proven to be a massive waste of time. If I ever have to hack anything else, its going to be a desktop. OP, good luck, I hope rehab man can help you, he has tried to help me, but I don't think he has the patience to deal with me. I can't even get the system booting without it KPing, probably due to me trying to get power management working. My advice to you, OP, buy a cheap mac off of craigslist, if you really need one. If I feel like I want to restart this expedition, I might pop back in, but I'm tired, I'm done. This is not fun, nor has it been rewarding in the last two days I've spent working on the same issues. It is confusing, and not in the slightest user friendly.

Ignore the error, or use iMac17,1 while running ssdtPRgen.sh, then go back to MacBookPro11,1 (some people report issues with MacBookPro11,2).

I expect that when there are more Skylake Macs available (assuming Apple doesn't skip Skylake for their mainstream laptops), there will be more choices.

Hackintosh is more about the journey, less about the destination.

It's never easy, but neither impossible... I find it fun actually to look for solutions for the problems I encounter with my hack... I enjoy making it even better... I did not have much info at first when I came into the world of hackintoshing, but reading and only reading, helped me a lot, and there's still bunch of things I have to learn. There are many great people here that helped me and are helping me and everyone else who has the will to learn...

Hackintosh is more about the journey, less about the destination.

I agree 100%

Alright fine. Lets just get graphics working, ok? None of the other stuff, if I can get the GRAPHICS and TRACKPAD/KEYBOARD working I can get everything else working.

LOL, yes it's a journey...

@123keaton: I'm using mac's since 10 years, and I do have my 15" MBP from 2012

For me it's about having it all on one machine... Had it running perfect on my ThinkPad T420s, switched to an T430s which has a locked BIOS so I didn't have WiFi... Tried with coreboot but had issue's with the RAM-init so I reflashed the original BIOS. Might try again next winter!

Now that I'm planning a journey of two month I just wanted a lightweight machine that has LTE and Thunderbolt, so I got that 7370. And I read that the 9350 has similar hardware and has already been installed with HackOS...

Anyways back to topic...
@RehabMan: I've dd'd my T430s 10.10.5 using Ubuntu... Now I'm getting a bit closer:

This is without injected kexts & cache, safemode is similar...

 

[128keaton]

Ok, I am back to square one. I am still having the same issue with Quartz Extreme. I've tried not injecting the platform-id, I've tried Rehab's kexts too. i did try the VRAM patch, but I am at 64MB according to my bios. @mircsicz, I only got mine to boot with the drivers I linked. Nothing else works, but I can't read into your situation
