Hi,
I have an old Dell E6410 that I am trying to get High Sierra onto, I want to try and get another 2 years out of it as a secondary laptop until I turn it into a HTPC.
I can install it just fine, load clover, boot into the OS with working graphics (InjectNvidia), load the AppleIntellE1000e Ethernet Kext and have a perfectly stable system. As soon as I try and load any other Kext, the following reboot I get a white screen for about 3-5 sec then an instant reboot and the only way to get a desktop following that is to reinstall the system again.
I haven't worked with a hack since I loaded El Captain on to it about 2 years ago, so I'm wondering which Kexts I would need to load for HS compared to what I had to load for El Cap, also what the proper DSDT patches would be, or should I just use the same ones as before?
With El Captain I followed this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...-latitude-e6410-nvidia-el-capitan-clover-eng/
Basically the Kexts I had to load were:
FakeSMC (Needed for a hack)
VoodooPS2Controller (Built-in Keyboard & Trackpad/Pointing Stick)
AppleIntelE100e (Ethernet)
ACPIBacklight (Brightness control from System Preferences? I just used the FN Keys)
ACPIBatteryManager (Battery meter)
VoodooSDHC (SD Card Reader)
VoodooHDA (I was never able to get audio working through the guide with AppleHDA)
Finally I am wondering if sleep would be possible with this system on High Sierra, if not it's not a big deal, but it would be nice.
I still have a working bootable El Captain installation on a separate hard drive I can swap out and boot if need be.
Thanks!!
