IONVMeFamily.kext is used only for NVMe devices. The devices you mention are SATA devices.

No sound, no battery status after Hight Sierra fresh install.
Installation as described in thread https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...book-zbook-using-clover-uefi-hotpatch.232948/
The SSD disk has APFS format and TRIM has been disabled.
Regarding the battery status I've followed the advice in thread https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/readme-common-problems-in-10-13-high-sierra.233582/
And with the sound I tried Alternate/experimental fix (pre-patch_hda.sh): https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...i-hotpatch-10-11.189416/page-498#post-1410398

Off-topic. This is not a troubleshooting thread.
Open a separate thread.

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html
The required files and data are fully detailed in the last question in the FAQ:
"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"

Q. Ethernet is not working. How to fix?

Ethernet: What Ethernet chipset do you have? Use DPCIManager->PCIList to find out. Install drivers (kexts) appropriate for your hardware.

Common drivers (Mieze has created some high quality drivers, ported from Linux):

Realtek GbE: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287161-new-driver-for-realtek-rtl8111/

Realtek FE:http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/296190-driver-for-realteks-rtl810x-fast-ethernet-series/

Atheros: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...lcomm-atheros-ar816x-ar817x-and-killer-e220x/

Intel: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304235-intelmausiethernetkext-for-intel-onboard-lan/

Porting a WiFi driver would be much more work than porting Ethernet.
Mainly because Apple does not document the WiFi driver interfaces...

Hi Guru,
I have once had the Brightness control (both slider and keys) worked on my ProBook 4340s.
After I experimentally (stupid me doing meaningless test!!! But I am sure it is the only change I have made) renamed the SSDT-PNLF.aml (patched directory) to something else, it stopped working. And even I renamed the file back to SSDT-PNLF.aml.
Is there somewhere I need to reset in order to get SSDT-PNLF.aml reloaded? Or it is another issue?
Many Thanks!
