Siralland Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hello, I have been trying for so long to install El Capitan on my Dell Venue 11 Pro (i5 processor). I looked at this post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/302665-guide-1010-yosemite-on-the-dell-venue-11-pro-core-ix/ but whenever I tried to do it, it would just say "Still waiting for root device". I tried Yosemite but I still got the same thing. I am not sure if I am missing a kext or if I did something wrong with my configurations. Here is a video of my configurations: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B850KfzRnV9mN2I4R0FTQ2xLRkE/view?usp=sharing Thank you for any help.

mendietinha Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 have you tried the basics: npci=0x2000 or npci=0x3000... changed sata ports... set bios correctly? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siralland Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 I have triple checked the bios. It is a tablet so there isn't really a way to change the sata ports. I also only have 1 usb port... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendietinha Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 maybe you can try to install yosemite and upgrade to el capitan, since the captain has usb problems that many times can only be fixed with dsdt edits and or dummy kexts. but you can try use this kext to see if solves it: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-usb-inject-all/downloads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siralland Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 I don't know if this is a problem, but when it is loading right before Still waiting for root device, the flash drive light turns off. I just tried that USBInject kext, it didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendietinha Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 i think you should start from yose and update to el cap. the usb light stuff is normal in this case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siralland Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 I tried Yosemite, same exact thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendietinha Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 well, if its the same machine, with the same install method and all, im out of ideas... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siralland Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 In the video, did I have the correct kexts? I am not sure if you understand. I don't have any version of mac running on the machine. I just tried both versions of mac. I am using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (I know that this website doesn't like it though) as something to set it up. Do you recommend something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendietinha Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 so you where not following the guide. we do not support those tools here and you really should know that. by using a non supported tool claiming that you have followed the guide, will only make things harder for you and all the people who are here to help you. ps. do no try to bypass the censor by using - or . or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siralland Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 I don't see DSMOS has arrived. How would I go about making this appear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siralland Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 I feel stupid... I just checked the files and it is missing... I just added it in and it is now loading on the white screen... Lets see how it goes. One last problem (I hope) After it loaded, this is the setup menu... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendietinha Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 it remains like that even if you move the cursor or press enter? if so, try booting with this fake id in clovers graphics menu> 0x0a168086 you also need two kexts like the guide says: FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext probably you can just use the fake id until boot into the system installed, but if not, place the two kexts in the 10.11 folder of clover. almost there, mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try changing the GUI resolution in Clover to 1024x768. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siralland Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 You... Are... The... Best... One last thing. Everything works except the trackpad. But in the Clover Boot menu, it works. If I plug in an external USB mouse, it works but I only have 1 USB port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siralland Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I ordered one and I will get it Saturday. Once I install the Yosemite, will my Trackpad start working? That's a no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankmac Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I ordered one and I will get it Saturday. Once I install the Yosemite, will my Trackpad start working? I'm afraid not, unfortunately, because it detracts from the utility of the device. It's not really clear why this is the case since it is recognized as a Synaptic device, but no one I know of has been able to get it working.
