[Guide] Alternative to the minStolenSize patch with 32mb DVMT-prealloc

As said earlier, placing the Intel Broadwell Graphics kext back causes the system not to boot with a valid ig-platform-id. I even tried a clean install and faced the same problem.

You will need to provide "Problem Reporting" files that represent that scenario.

Just freezes there.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached. Please read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully.

Here you go.

Here you go.

Your ACPI configuration is wrong. You have patched SSDTs in ACPI/patched but DropOem=false. DropOem must be set true in that scenario.
But you also have the wrong set of files in ACPI/patched (dynamic SSDTs should not be placed there).
And you have no patches to the SSDTs anyway...
Suggestion:
Start over by following the guide with current plists... they have important renames already in config.plist.
Only patch DSDT.

I tried DropOEM=true and I get the "still waiting for root device" error. I only patched the DSDT with IRQ and PNLF.

I tried DropOEM=true and I get the "still waiting for root device" error. I only patched the DSDT with IRQ and PNLF.

DropOem=true can only be used if:
- you have all static OEM SSDTs in ACPI/patched, properly patched
- you have SortedOrder to specify SSDT load order

Since you have only HD5500 (no dual GPU), there is little reason to use DropOem, as there is no need to patch the SSDTs in ways that cannot be accomplished with config.plist.

Further discussion of your ACPI patching mistakes is off-topic here.

I am using 19160000 ig platform id. Noticed that my AppleIntelSKLGraphicsFramebuffer is a bit different from yours (10.11.6). Instead of 01030303 00002002 00005001 I have 01030303 00000004 00002002 00005001. What are these additional bytes
Anyways patching happens, but it results in terrible glitches which makes laptop unusable. What am I doing wrong? Attaching config.plist just in case.
