Few problems after updating to High Sierra

[SimsonFahrer]

Hi everyone,

I've decided to upgrade to High Sierra today, directly upgraded from a nicely working Sierra installation.

I'm still facing a few weird issues though.

1. The battery indicator doesn't work even though I've installed the latest version of ACPI Battery Manager. ACPI should also be fine I would guess.

2. Trackpad Prefpane doesn't detect my trackpad (it's working though).

I think the two issues above are connected to each other, similar to the trim issue with SSDs and APFS.

I'm running macOS on a HDD with the HFS+ file system.

Here is the output of 'diskutil list':

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

I'd appreciate any help.

Your kexts are not installed properly.
As per FAQ, kexts should be installed to /L/E, not /S/L/E.
TRIM should be disabled.
Also, read here regarding battery status, especially since your booting from (slow) HDD:

Thanks for your help, I was able to solve the issue.

The only things I did was to move my kexts to /Library/Extensions/, remove the TRIM patch and the following boot flag to my config.plist: abm_firstpolldelay=32000

This adds a 32 second delay, which is working perfectly. Battery indicator is back and trackpad prefpane works too.

Thanks again, thread can be marked as solved.

32 seconds is fairly long, but I guess if it works only with that (and not shorter delay?), then ok...
You might consider an SSD for your system drive.

I will try to play around with the delay value and see what happens, 32 seconds seems to work for now.

Yup, I already have an SSD in mind, just have to save up a bit.
