I had this EXACT problem when I was installing Mojave the first time. To the point that I simply gave up and ran High Sierra until right before Catalina came out. Unfortunately I don't have any advice EXCEPT: Everything ran FINE like clockwork once I did a totally clean re-do (not re-install...

Also, I don't know if I mentioned this before or not and I'm on my way to work like in a hurry lol... It (non-admin account and enter credentials when needed is good practice anyway and in no way to me a pita compared to windows) works like a champ on Catalina too. I've got two laptops...

Believe it or not, I found a kinda-sorta solution. (I was literally in the middle of trying different versions, version parts, rig-jobs etc) when I stumbled on your post on a Google search. It works FINE - at least when not using an administrator account. At least the gestures I use (single...

I wish I knew the answer.. I will post if I figure it out. It's driving me nuts as well - everything else is working GREAT and I have the same laptop w/High Sierra no problems whatsoever. What kills me is the tap (the main thing to me) works FINE until you login - you can use it to select...

SMH... I just wanted to throw you an update. I got the drive with High Sierra on it and the machine is running. However I screwed the actual install up enough trying to get a counterfeit GT550 working that it won't even boot to the desktop unless I put that card in it.. which makes it...

OK.. I have attached the EFI folder off my working no problems what-so-ever Sierra box that I'm using right now (HW wise identical to the HS box except 8x2gb vs 4x4gb and different vid cards.) I pulled HW Monitor (version 6.25.1426 as shown in Get Info) out of kexts/Other 'cuz it was friggen...

Hey I Just noticed that end of the reply.. wanted to try & explain the VGA - to my best ability at least based on experience seeing this pan out a number of ways.. I've seen it on a few laptops too, some work some don't. It seems that if the VGA output is internally derived from a digital...

Cool... that sounds like it should work no problem with my EFI folder and a diff ser #, maybe a couple tweaks. I will get the EFI's posted in a couple hours. I had to take care of some stuff and just went to check out where I want to set that box up and realized I took the video cards out...

I sure will.. but I'm moving the bedroom where I have the two boxes around right now and I'll have the High Sierra one hooked up later today. I use legacy as on the T5400's as there is no UEFI... however I am still using an older version of Clover, you're certainly using a newer one. I THINK I...

I'm going to be messing around with Mojave soon.. I got past the +++++++xlong-line-of-em and got it up and running (for 20-30 mins at a clip) before a random crash. (And not even a normal one, just doing things and it suddenly reboots.). I haven't even attempted this one a Dell, but that's my...

Short answer yes.. long answer, I don't know how. They would all spin up to full speed under Sierra, but under High Sierra are well behaved and quiet as they were under El Capitan. I still get incorrect readings about CPU core temps (but that's it, everything else works fine) but it doesn't...

For a T5400 you'll need to make sure "install for UEFI only" is not checked, and under the bootloader submenu select either boot0af or boot0ss in the MBR. Try boot0af first. I don't remember what the defaults are, but I think it defaults to UEFI whether the system has it or not. The rest of...

I think I might know what's up with the Ethernet driver if you haven't just bought a PCIe one yet - put it in the EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other (or 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, wherever all your other Clover-loaded kexts are.) Kext Wizard is going to throw it into S/L/E and that could be it - I just checked...

Thanks a lot. That's pretty much the answer I was expecting although not the one I was hoping for - which is why I wanted to ask before I installed everything else in case I had to start over. I really like some of the APFS features I've read about, but it if's not gonna work on a hack, it is...

OK I found the culprit.. I had a 3.something version in a diagnostic tools folder on my desktop that I copy down from my server when I'm troubleshooting. I remember seeing the script even verify the version I had installed (in /Apps) was 2.1 so I don't know why it ran the other version. But I...

Ok Sorry IDK what I missed but I used the tool and it's output is attached. I also attached separately "applehda-zml-output.zip" which is the ls -l command from the manual method ran against the backup of AppleHDA.kext I made before I installed VoodooHDA because I'm assuming the tool didn't grab...

Hi.. I've got my main Hacktop upgraded (well, clean install actually) to High Sierra but I'm having a few small probs I'm hoping someone has already had an found a solution to.. I've done searching galore and can't find anything that helped. A little background.. I originally had El Capitan...

It's hard to tell from just that, at least for me.. maybe one of the guru's here can help more. I almost always find crap like that turns out to be software, not hardware though.. although it's entirely possible since you said it seems to happen when you've got a lot of ram in use that causes...

Hi! Sorry it took so long to reply to you but I didn't see the reply. I guess I never told it to notify me of any replies to this thread :(. I didn't notice until I checked out my profile and saw a like so I checked out the thread. I can only speculate that either some BIOS settings or your...

I just blew the HD away and didn't have any of the software installed and was out of time the screw around with it last night.. Hopefully I won't need to though, I THINK I got the problem solved switching from UEFI/Native to UEFI/Hybird in BIOS. In the future I won't post until I'm ready with...
