macOS Sierra on E6420

[mac.dev.2000]

E6420, A23 BIOS, NVS 4200M 512,  128 GB SSD with Vanilla macOS Sierra Retail throws a strange show of checkers once it boots to login screen;

 

Boots fine through

-> Clover v2.3k_r3763 -> though it does takes some time to initd6, then ++++++++++++++,

-> continues alright till end to load NVDAStartup (Stock or WebDriver-367.15.1.0.05f01) with NVHAL100

-> Shows apple logo with progress bar and then instead of login screen this happens;

Seemingly the crux;

 

/var/log/displaypolicyd.log: AGDC support not present in system

/var/log/displaypolicyd.log: Policy Engine instance init failed

 

Ideas???

El Capitan worked alright? I have the same laptop, i thought it was not compatible with Hackintosh.

Hi

 

 

macOS Sierra only supports CPU's with SSE4 instructions.

 

Umm! E6420 i7 is equipped with 2620M, which is with SSE4 instruction set, along with SSE4.1 and streaming extensions etc.
