Dell Inspiron 530 - High Sierra

When I enable RAID, I get the same results, OSX will not see any of the drives in they system once I'm in disk utility. Do you still have a copy of the modified BIOS that you used?
 
HI macnb

I have E5450 running on my Dell Inspiron 530 with G33M03 motherboard and I successfully installed high sierra on it and running good using clover and multibeast. Almost everything I need is working. I have Nvidia Geforce 210 graphics card working.

My issue is computer sleeps but wakes up with black screen. Any fix for this issue? I couldn't find fix for wakeup issue anywhere online. I will really appreciate if you can help me find the solution.
Mrokarvi, did you use a modified BIOS as well on your G33M03?

I fixed sleep problem by modifying the DSDT.aml.

You can try my attached DSDT.aml (copy it to your EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Patched folder).

BTW, I also attach my config.plist file (you need to add your own SMBIOS specific values if you are going to use it) but I suggest that you just try the DSDT on it's own first.

Post your IOREG file from IORegistryExplorer.app

That's because the macOS does recognise SATA controller by default. You have to enable it in the DSDT.

Try my DSDT.aml attached above.

Sorry for my ignorance, Is the DSDT file supposed to be used with unibeast when making the bootable installation drive? I followed the tutorial on this site and I didn't see a place to inject any files..

DSDT files are not injected but placed in a folder.
If you created a unibeast clover installer USB with ESP partition then there's an EFI partition on that USB. You need to mount that EFI partition and copy the DSDT.aml file to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder.
If you created a unibeast clover installer in legacy mode (without an ESP partition) then there's an EFI folder on the root of that USB. Copy the DSDT.aml file to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder.

Done!! I'll test it out when I get home! Thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks for the DSDT file. I copied it in (EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Patched folder), rebooted the system. After the reboot set the sleep time to 1 min, after the sleep it again went to black screen. system seems to boot but screen never comes back. Here is the ioreg files and config file..
