lilu.kext needs to be the first in the list

you still showing 3 ethernet kexts in the list

set Vault to Optional

iMac19,1 is for a CoffeLake system, your Skylake would use iMac17,1

these 2 entries should be set to -1

Code:

<key>MinDate</key>
            <integer>0</integer>
            <key>MinVersion</key>
            <integer>0</integer>

samanfield said:
Ive definately delete the other two ethernet options and saved the plist.

With the other changes, do you have screenshots please?

just edit your config.plist and make the changes as suggested

make sure your serial number is set to iMac17,1:

GitHub - corpnewt/GenSMBIOS: Py script that uses acidanthera's macserial to generate SMBIOS and optionally saves them to a plist.

Py script that uses acidanthera's macserial to generate SMBIOS and optionally saves them to a plist. - corpnewt/GenSMBIOS

github.com

use the above to generate proper serials if you have not already done so

make sure your serial number is set to iMac17,1:

GitHub - corpnewt/GenSMBIOS: Py script that uses acidanthera's macserial to generate SMBIOS and optionally saves them to a plist.

use the above to generate proper serials if you have not already done so

SSDT-i5-6260u.aml was in my clover. Do you think I don't need it?

I will put Lulu and post back?
