OS X Sierra on a Acer Travelmate P658-M-537B

Hello,

 

ive just bought a new notebook for me. Its the Acer TravelMate P658-M-537B. Its a good piece of hardware with UMTS/LTE, non glossy FHD Display, very good batterie and good speed. In the past i installed OS X on many notebooks. Dell, Lenovo, Asus etc. All went fine, sometimes a little bit tricky, but i found a solution. Now, this Acer is really a hard thing.

 

Hardware:

CPU: Intel 6200u

GPU: Intel HD520

SSD: Kingston M.2 (AHCI)

WLAN: Intel (i know not working, will swap with DW1560)

 

I get a KP directly after hit enter in Clover. (See attached photo)

 

I use a Sierra installer with generic sets of kext/config.plist. But i cant even reach the installer. Most time i got a KP. Is someone here who knows what settings i have to use to install/use OS X on this notebook?

 

 

Thanks in advance

You can try set the config.plist specifically to your hardware, injecting the values for video and etc...

 

This trick works very good for me in others Laptops.  ;)

I dont know where i have to start. Its a blank configuartion only with FakeSmc.kext in Kext Folder. Like i said... i do not even reach the installer. I use many generic config.plsit... but always "no way".

THX. Tested.

Same issue. After hitting installer in Clover instant KP :(

 

Edit: I´ve found the reason. Seems to be clover is having problems with detecting amount of Ram.

Statusupdate:

 

Working:

  • Intel HD520
  • ALC 282 (newest Voodoo HDA, because I couldn't compile patched DSDT because of errors in MacIASL)
  • WLAN (Dell DW1560 with Clover injection and Kexts)
  • Hotkeys (brightness Keys are not working because they are on the arrow left and right keys)
  • Backlightcontrol (AppleBacklightInject)
  • Camera
  • LAN (i219V, with Mausi Kext, but a little buggy. At the moment Mausi Kext only providing initial support for i219V)
  • USB 3

 

Not Working:

  • USB 3.1 (Thunderbolt 3, have to wait until Apple is selling a device with tb3)
  • PCIe CardReader 
  • Sleep (is auto waking after entering sleep)

Hey, i did use the "3". All is working fine. Thank you a lot. :)

Sleep still not working, but not so important. Batterytime is better than under Windows. (over 10 Hours just with Office and Internet (WLAN))

Sleep is not working. After System is entering sleep it wakes instant. At the moment i use ACPUIBatteryManager.kext

 

So what do you mean with Battery and without Patch? What did you change in the "new" patched DSDT?

SSDTs? I dont use any (only ssdt.aml that are generated from script for CPU and a 2nd one for AppleBacklightInjection.

But THX, i will test the new DSDT from you.

 

Wow... hey i have to say. You are a genius. Sleep seems to be working. Wow.

Big Big THX. So i hope in future i can get a working USB 3.1 / Thunderbolt Port.

 

By the way, you are very good, do you know why its not possible to get Tunderbolt 3 / USB 3.1 get to work? The new Mac Pros using Thunderbolt 3 / USB 3.1 too, even same Chipset (Alpine Ridge).
