I have successfully installed Mojave 10.14.1 on a Dell OptiPlex 3050. It has an i3-7100T CPU with Intel HD 630 iGPU. Intel B250 chipset. This machine does not have Wifi or Bluetooth, so no worries there, I plan to get an Apple card down the line.

I have it bootable from my UniBeast USB since I have not sorted everything out yet.

Below I will input my config.plist as well as a photo of all KEXTs I have in the 10.14 Folder (same files in the Other folder as well).

I simply have no Audio, no Ethernet detected. The graphics work, but report as Intel HD Graphics 630 7MB. Obvoously not the best graphical performer. I know many others have got this iGPU to work, but I cannot seem to get it to work any better than it is currently.

Any help with any of these three hardware issues I am having would be greatly appreciated!

Also, the boot process to get to the UniBeast boot disk selection screen takes about 2-3 minutes, and then it goes through the normal macOS boot process once I am able to select the disk I want to boot. At one point when I tried a completely different EFI folder and settings from someone else, that time to get the the UniBeast boot disk selection screen was very short like it should be, but nothing else worked so I figured better to have long wait and an OS that boots for now so I went back to the setup you see below. That leads me to believe it is somewhere in my PLIST file settings, but I cannot find the cause. Though I am not really good at this.

KEXTs

Screen Shot 1397-10-04 at 8.52.02 PM.png


Any help is appreciated folks! I figure, this little Dell is pretty on par with the new Mac mini, at least for what I want it for. I hope to get a fairly stable system out of this.
 
I have successfully installed Mojave 10.14.1 on a Dell OptiPlex 3050. It has an i3-7100T CPU with Intel HD 630 iGPU. Intel B250 chipset. This machine does not have Wifi or Bluetooth, so no worries there, I plan to get an Apple card down the line.

I have it bootable from my UniBeast USB since I have not sorted everything out yet.

Below I will input my config.plist as well as a photo of all KEXTs I have in the 10.14 Folder (same files in the Other folder as well).

I simply have no Audio, no Ethernet detected. The graphics work, but report as Intel HD Graphics 630 7MB. Obvoously not the best graphical performer. I know many others have got this iGPU to work, but I cannot seem to get it to work any better than it is currently.

Any help with any of these three hardware issues I am having would be greatly appreciated!

Also, the boot process to get to the UniBeast boot disk selection screen takes about 2-3 minutes, and then it goes through the normal macOS boot process once I am able to select the disk I want to boot. At one point when I tried a completely different EFI folder and settings from someone else, that time to get the the UniBeast boot disk selection screen was very short like it should be, but nothing else worked so I figured better to have long wait and an OS that boots for now so I went back to the setup you see below. That leads me to believe it is somewhere in my PLIST file settings, but I cannot find the cause. Though I am not really good at this.

KEXTs

View attachment 374995

Any help is appreciated folks! I figure, this little Dell is pretty on par with the new Mac mini, at least for what I want it for. I hope to get a fairly stable system out of this.

In your screen shot of Kext files, I see your Realtek RTL8111.kext to be zero bytes. [See edited image]
  • Searching in the Internet, I noted your Dell OptiPlex 3050 has a Realtek Ethernet Chip. I suggest downloading Realtek RTL8111.kext from Tonymac and replacing it from your EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other and also install it in /S/L/E using KextBeast from Tonymac
  • Reboot and check both System Report...> Hardware>Ethernet Cards and System Preferences >Network for IP number.
  • I don't know what Realtek ALC you need for your Audio.

  • You can download & launch DPCI Manager and check under Status Audio Device the Codec name and post for help with that screen shot [See example image from my Gigabyte System Board
  • To suggest a Graphics fix, please upload the entire CLOVER as zipped file from your Disk ; not the way you have done in this post.

Thank you for all the detailed info! I got the Ethernet working by doing what you suggested. I opened DCPI Manager and the Codec was not listed there. See photo.

I am also working on getting you that coded or at least hardware ID from a hard disk with Windows on it. Hopefully that will help. I attached my CLOVER folder.zip.

Now, only the iGPU and Audio are not working at this time, as well as the slow boot to Boot Disk Selection screen.

Any further help is always appreciated, thanks again!!

  • Glad you fixed your Ethernet and can access Internet to fix other problems faster.
  • I am checking your CLOVER and already found clues to your graphics and audio issues.
  • I will check in detail and edit images to show you the fixes I think might be able to help you. I need time for that about 30-40 minutes.
  • Now I need the BIOS Options you have chosen relating to Graphics and Audio controllers to be sure the fixes in CLOVER/config.plist I will be suggesting can work with BIOS to provide Video and Sound.
  • The Good News is your CLOVER/kexts/Other contents are perfect and only config.plist would need editing.
  • Please provide the BIOS choices you have made for Graphics and Audio Controllers.
Edited to add:

I did not find your BIOS options for Graphics and Audio.
Assuming you have made the proper Enabling of IGFX with adequate DVMT Pre-Allocated and Total Memory and Audio Controllers are ENABLED, I am suggesting the following changes to your /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist. as shown in the edited screen Captures of sample config.plist
You can edit your config.plist any way you are familiar. These images I am uploading are made in Clover Configurator Global.

Not much in a Dell BIOS for Audio or Video. Audio simply has a check box for "Enabled" and it is checked, and under it are two more check boxes for Enable Mic and Enable Internal Speaker. Both checked.

For Video it is even less. It only allows you to select "Primary Display" Auto or Intel HD Graphics, and the Intel HD Graphics is the selected option. THere are no other places for DVMT or anything.


Also, the Audio is hardware ID (from Windows) HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0255&SUBSYS_102807A3&REV_1000

A Google on that brings me to ALC269. I hope that helps you pinpoint the issue. Thanks a million!

I will try your PLIST changes and get back to you!
 
Well my system will not boot with the config.plist set as shown in your photos. I get a Dell splash screen and nothing for a while (about a minute or two) then I get the Boot Disk Selection Screen, then I get a blank screen now for a while and then the normal verbose output, then black screen and then it reboots to start all over again.

Here is my config.plist file. Let me know if I messed anything up.

Edit: I tried to capture the verbose output during macOS boot but the camera did not capture anything legible, and it went by far too fast at the end to see anything at all to try to repeat back to you.

  • Please note you have inadvertently made a typo in config.plist_Graphics_ig-platform-id value : 0x059120000 instead of 0x59120000 causes No graphics > black screen (rule of thumb : ONLY 8 DIGITS after 0x)
  • config.plist _SMBIOS > Product name : 14, 1 ->14,2
Please edit them and try again
 
Good catch! I made the corrections and tried to boot again. I made it to desktop although the wait to get to the Clover boot screen was still long. Once on desktop, I still have no Audio, and my GPU still reports as 7MB VRAM and is clearly not working properly. (Notice odd lines in the Search bar, for example.)

  • You are very close to solving the problems.
  • Can we try the rest in another 10-12 hours later?
  • My grey cells are slowing down after 18 hours of varying problem solving on and off computer screens and 'throwing random error messages' instead of prompt and accurate responses prompting me for an automatic shut down and reboot hours later:lol:
