nawcom Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 try booting with boot flag dart=0 and let me know if you still get the same error. It looks like Alienware 17 r4 comes with vt-d support and if it's enabled in the bios then it may be causing it which this boot flag will get around it. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/320097-alienware-seirra-boot-error/#findComment-2348075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nawcom Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 What kext are you using for PS/2 support? keyboards and trackpads communicate through PS/2 on PC brand laptops while it connects through the USB bus in Macbooks so you need to include a kext to support it. Looks like your model has a Synaptics touchpad so this will work fine: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-voodoo-ps2-controller/downloads/RehabMan-Voodoo-2016-1208.zip ignore the VoodooPS2Daemon binary for now - just use the kext. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/320097-alienware-seirra-boot-error/#findComment-2350070 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nawcom Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Since your laptop has Nvidia Optimus you're stuck only using Intel HD530 in OS X. Attached is a Clover config that you can start with which has the fixes needed for it. For ig-platform-id I have set 0x19160000 but you'll have to figure out if it needs to be changed to another one yourself. Here's how to edit your DSDT to permanently disable the Nvidia card: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298027-guide-aio-guides-for-hackintosh/?p=2030047 For battery monitor: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-acpi-battery-driver/downloads/RehabMan-Battery-2016-1118.zip config.plist.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/320097-alienware-seirra-boot-error/#findComment-2350256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

slayer2333 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Pascal is not supported yet on Sierra as far as i know, you have no choice but to disable your nvidia graphics for now (use nv_disable=1). Try the different ig-platform-ids for the intel HD530 from clover (with the 15 r2 model the working ones were 0x19160000 and 0x191b0000). Start by testing those first.

slayer2333 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 just top left corner I use clover flying editor and its not allowing me to add find and replace to my config... I can't convert the hex to abcd That means you are using the right ig-platform-id, this glitch is well known for sometime now, download the files here : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/317551-glitch-fix-for-skylake-hd-graphicsupdate/ And copy the patches in the plist file to your config.plist in clover. Make sure to disable the nvidia graphics otherwise this patch won't have any effect.
