brainwash Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Finally managed to get an older dream of mine come true: triple booting a laptop. For those wondering how I did it: I kept the original win7 partitions, upgraded to win10, did a refresh to clean up the installation Booted into Hiren's boot CD to mess with partitions. Resized the EFI partition to 250MB (by moving stuff around), shrinked the main Windows partition make space at the end, created a 50GB HFS partition, the rest of the space was kept unallocated after that partition booted into the MacOS installer, deleted the HFS partition, created a new one in its place (seems the installer cannot see unallocated space, so you have to use a dummy partition), followed normal procedures installed Ubuntu adjusted Clover boot entries to be able to boot into all systems Clover is used as a boot manager Anyway, for OSX I've used mostly the repository from Bizzaro, with a DSDT file for my CPU (i5-3320). Everything is running fine, including sound. The issues I have: the trackpoint ('nipple') is jumpy (no acceleration) and to get it to a decent speed I have to reduce the trackpad speed to minimum. Is there any way to control the speeds of those independently? Perhaps with the Elan touch kexts? the CPU seems throttled, would make sense as the fan only spins up to <50% of its maximum speed. BIOS setting is 'max performance'. I've had random issues with win/alt switching places during heavy typing sessions. Just saying this in case someone else encountered this haven't found a way to boot OSX from Linux Grub, for backup reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainwash Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 I ran geekbench and the score was about half of what I should've gotten, 984 for single-core and 1800 for multi-core. I guess I need to revisit the DSDT. EDIT: ran ssdtPRGen.sh without any parameters, copied the files into EFI/Clover/... and now I'm getting 3277/6216 in Geekbench. I'm happy with that, but seems a bit high for an i5-3320M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
