Hey all,
I recently got a new (refurbished) laptop, the Dell Inspiron 15 7567! This replaced my previous Dell Inspiron 15 7559 (which broke and Dell couldn't repair it after 3-4 repairs, so we got it swapped), and it has the following specs:
Intel i7-7700HQ
Intel HD Graphics 630
nVidia GTX 1050 Ti
Dell DW1560 (I swapped this in to replace the Intel AC3165)
512GB SSD + 1TB HDD (I swapped in the 512GB SSD from the factory configured 128GB)
16GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM
1080p FHD IPS Panel
Realtek ALC 3246
I've been attempting to get macOS High Sierra on here for the better part of a week now, and I've run into several issues (and the list may expand as I try to get everything working):
1) Sometimes, the kernel cache won't be able to load (kernel cache error 0xe). I don't know why this is happening, but I cannot repair it without a FULL reinstall of the system. I don't know what's causing this, and this happened on my Dell Inspiron 15 7559 as well before it broke. Here's what the error looks like:
I'm going to put temporary blame on the APFS file system, and when I reinstall again, I may disable force-conversion of HFS+ to APFS, and install macOS High Sierra with HFS+ ... If anybody knows the reasons behind this error / how to solve it, that would be great!
2) Before I wasn't able to boot into the system, I was trying to get brightness working, using the AppleBacklightInjector + SSDT_PNLF + backlight kext patch. Everything worked fine (brightness worked and everything), but when I rebooted, the brightness levels don't save!
I made sure that my NVRAM was working (via RC scripts & EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi), which it is, and this problem still persists! Any suggestions?
3) I was attempting to patch my AppleHDA, and I determined that the audio codec on the machine is the Realtek ALC 3246. The reason I bring this up is because Linux (Ubuntu) didn't have ANY codec information at all! The /proc/asound folder was simply missing, and the "10ec" PCI ID brandstring was simply missing from the "lspci" command.
When I went into windows however, I determined that the vendor and device ID's were as follows: "10ec:0256". Is this a Realtek ALC256 codec? As I'm not too sure where to get my verb information for the ALC 3246 if Linux doesn't even pick it up...
Those are all of the issues I have for now, and I would be greatly appreciative if someone would be able to give me some advice and suggestions on fixing these!
Thank you very much!
