If you are following Chris guide, I think the reason you got ACPI error because of when you run post install, in your hard drive>EFI>OC>ACPI folder already have DSDT.aml there. So the tool cannot dump original DSDT and also cannot patch DSDT also.I too have this same laptop with the HD4000 and the 1600x900 display. I already have a triboot set up. macOS Catalina on a 500GB and Win10 Pro and Ubuntu set up on another 500gb drive that replaces the DVD drive. It’s a p model so i could only throw in 16 gig of 1600mhz.
You know the saying If it ain’t broke....
I have spent the last 3 days basically breaking and repairing my os trying to add big sur to my setup.
The internet says it should work,lol.
Anyway, I’m back where i started...Fully updated macOS Catalina with a Clover setup and its all working and updated...fully patched dsdt. Battery,wifi,bluetooth,triboot. All functioning properly. I ended up updating clover as well which had its own set of issues but i was able to work through them.
I tried Chris111 OC\BigSur and got it to install...problems with the postinstall.. video and wifi But I’m sure these were update your kext related.
My biggest concern was all the acpi errors on the reboot. Catalina and everything before uses a patched dsdt which i have patched perfectly, but now we use patch ssdt’s from what i gather. Maybe someone could confirm what should be going down ACPI wise. I’m not sure if its going down the way it’s suppose to. Chris’s video shows him going into the acpi folder and showing his dsdt files and tables. I go into my folder and nada,lol 2 ssdt’s.
I will likely try again but I’m not sure if I’ll stay with clover or migrate to OC. I would like to keep both the Catalina and Big Sur installations where i don’t compromise the one just to get the other to work. I think i shall sit with my coffee this morning and read over all the guides again. Always something new to learn....
Good luck to all who are trying. I’d be interested in hearing any clover successes as well....if there are any. lol
