Mechrevo X1 post-install

[tsmswifty]

I've decided to hackintosh my Mechrevo X1 but I've run into quite a few problems.

I've gotten the wi-fi (installed a Broadcom BCM94352Z chip) working, but a lot of other things don't work:

Touchpad and keyboard: both the keyboard and touchpad are under PS/2 on Windows. The touchpad is a ELAN one. Don't know about the keyboard. I've tried VoodooPS2, SmartTouchpad, etc; none of them seem to work.

Audio (ALC269): I've installed AppleALC but it seems that it still doesn't recognize it.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

There are a lot of supported layout-id for AppleALC/ALC269. Make sure you try them all.

Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.

I've found the audio layout-id (29) that causes audio devices to show up in System Preferences, but the thing is they still don't output any audio. Did I do something wrong?

Look into CodecCommander, as per FAQ:

I've installed CodecCommander into /L/E, but it seems that no matter what layout-id I choose to inject, in IOReg the layout-id under HDEF still shows <07 00 00 00>. I did change the layout-id to 30 since it causes both the speakers and headphone jack to show up, but sound still isn't working. Maybe it's because I have both Lilu.kext in /L/E and /Kexts/Others? Or do I need to create a patch for AppleHDA?

On an unrelated note, my Clover for some reason stopped having the countdown to boot (auto boot). Not sure what I did wrong. How do I go on re-enabling it?

 

[tsmswifty]

For the audio, I removed the fakePCIID Intel audio one and now the audio works. Just need to figure out the clover boot issue now.

As expected with AppleALC.kext. Your injected layout-id is transferred to alc-layout-id.

Perhaps no default startup volume set in SysPrefs->Startup Disk.
