Hi, I have successfully installed MacOS High Sierra 10.13.3 on my Dell E7450.

Now I have to following issue, I hope someone can have a look into them:

- When I try booting my macos wont boot anymore. I have to go to the clover settings and disable booting with the ACPI and SSDT Files. Then I can boot it, but some things wont work (like Bluetooth), when I now do a reboot everything boots fine with alle the files and works fine. When I then reboot again once again it wont work anymore etc.

At this state the hackbook isnt really usable. :/

Thank you already for any help!

Hi, I have successfully installed MacOS High Sierra 10.13.3 on my Dell E7450.

Now I have to following issues, I hope someone can have a look into them:

1. After every reboot (macos successfully booted) the screen is black, I have to close and reopen the notebook to have access to my display, afterwards it works fine. I am running on Intel HD 5500 Graphics, the following kext have been injected: IntelGraphicsFixup, Lilu, Shiki, AppleBacklightInjector

2. I have a ALC293, so I have injected the AppleHDA_ALC293.kext, it worked like a charme but then after many reboots it randomly stopped working. Now I have no sound. I tried to remove the kext and insert it, to inject it etc but nothing works. Only VoodooHDA works, but I would prefer the AppleHDA kext if possible.

3. I have a ALPS Touchpad, it works with the ApplePS2Controller, but I dont have access to any gesture. I have tried VoodooPS2 but then only moving works, no scrolling, no gestures, same goes with ApplePS2SmartGestures. Any ideas?

Thank you already for any help!

Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.
Read post #2 of the Clover guide for details:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

ACPI/origin files are too old (you forgot to press F4).
As a result I didn't compare them.
But your ACPI is clearly not patched as per current guidelines.
