Restart instead of shutdown (sometimes)

[LeadmaN]

My machine works almost perfectly. One last thing that's not working always is shutting the system down. It restarts instead. I followed the usual tips in the guide: wake on lan off and FixShutdown checked in Clover.

Are there other things I can check and try?

Also make sure wake on lan is disabled in Bios

It is!

It is!

I followed all tips on this site I could find, but it still happens most of the shut downs. Am I the only one having this problem?

Your issue is caused by NVMeGeneric.kext. Remove it and use patched IONVMeFamily.kext instead.

Details here: https://github.com/RehabMan/patch-nvme

Note, you have a few other issues with your setup.
- AppleMEIDriver not loaded
- HECI should be named IMEI
- USB port limit patch should not be used long term

Thank you, RehabMan! I first fixed the NMVe issue and shut down works fine now. Time to look at the other issues now!

@RehabMan

I added the HECI to IMEI patch to Clover DSDT and that made my boot time faster too; a nice bonus! Also removed the USB port limit patch and all ports still work.

Last thing is the AppleMEIDriver; how do I know it's loaded? I can't find more info here on the forum or on Google. Some pointers would be highly appreciated!

I checked the ioreg myself and now I can see that renaming HECI to IMEI made AppleIntelMEIDriver appear in the file.

Thx, RehabMan!
