Yoga 720 try out High Sierra (issues)

[RehabMan]

Update: Replaced the config.plist from post 7 (changing nothing else) on the USB 2 disk and I am now booted to the installer. Trying the install now (partitioning, etc.).

Main difference on that plist is that it uses native KBL graphics instead of Skylake spoof.

Note: WhateverGreen has no support for Skylake spoof on KabyLake hardware. It is something that needs to be addressed in WhateverGreen.

The first boot, I had no touchpad support (still in the installer stage, got tired and went to bed) and external mouse hotplug didn't work. I plugged in a mouse and rebooted, created some partitions, had trouble installing to it, and rebooted to Linux to investigate. Now, I can't get the plugged in mouse to respond. At a loss here again, and thinking seriously about recreating the USB.

Some USB ports may not work due to incorrect USB configuration (something you can take care of post-install).
Try all USB ports or use a hub, or read USB guides linked from FAQ to resolve pre-install.

Things have progressed a bit from my last post.

I have an installed macOS (High Sierra), and sound and WiFi is working.

There is some weirdness -- stuttering sound at times, feels a little "shaky" -- unknown what that might be and how to resolve it.

The bigger issue right now is that my touchpad is not working even though it is supposedly supported by VoodoI2C - not sure what I might be doing wrong. I have been using an external mouse, but it is not comfortable to use a laptop with an external mouse.

Lastly, and really much less of a concern, but I don't have Bluetooth working either.

Help with any of the above would be great. Debug files are attached.

Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.

Thanks for the super fast response - the reason for some of this weirdness is that I am not using the "standard plists" because of the aforementioned issue here:

Main difference on that plist is that it uses native KBL graphics instead of Skylake spoof.

Note: WhateverGreen has no support for Skylake spoof on KabyLake hardware. It is something that needs to be addressed in WhateverGreen.

How can I go to your recommended plists but continue to get working boots on KabyLake?

Use KabyLake native plist.

Sorry to bug you @RehabMan but I'm new at this and I don't want to make things worse than they are.

Attaching a new troubleshooting file in the hopes that you can tell me if I am on the right track.

I *think* I may have fixed these by editing the config.plist file I have been using.

I think this is also fixed, but confirmation would be helpful.

I'm stuck with the I2C stuff at this point -- I think I successfully added the Windows 10 OS check fix to a patched DSDT, but I remain confused about whether GPIO pinning is required, given that Voodoo compatibility wiki explicitly says that my device is supported: https://github.com/alexandred/VoodooI2C/wiki/Compatibility -- not trying to be difficult or dense here, but again - I am attempting to be as minimal as possible, per your comments in many other threads across this forum.

Any feedback or guidance is VERY appreciated (you are complete godsend here)!

CPU PM looks ok.
But kexts are still not installed correctly. All kexts you need should be installed to /L/E. That includes kexts such as FakeSMC.kext (and any others "you need").

I2C support thread is linked from the FAQ.

I'm looking at installing Mojave, has anyone had any luck? I've had High Sierra up for a long while but it it looks like there are changes needed to make graphics work on Mojave. I'm working on a Whatevergreen build for this this laptop . Without that I've been able to get it to the login screen but it crashes shortly after login and reboots.
