I fixed that by renaming GFX0 to IGPU in that SSDT. I also patched your DSDT. I also think you may have over-did your patches in config.plist. I try to be a minimalist. I would rather add patches once problems have been detected rather than add what seem to be right without knowing that they are really needed. In particular, I left the LAPIC patch enabled but I thought that was only an issue in older HP laptops, not Dell laptops. Are you sure you need the LAPIC patch? The folders in the attachment are the only ones in which I made changes. Replace them (or the files) for the ones you are currently using. Let me know how it goes and take a photo if you get a KP or are stuck in a place other than IOConsoleUser's . . . CLOVER.zip Ok. Im back.. I tried your attached files. Still locking is a similar place. Im attaching my current output in verbose. I replaced with your config.plist, all your kexts and added the files in ACPI/Patched.

Still I've made no progress lol. debug_19882.zip First of all, you DON'T have an NTFS problem. The problem is a few lines up on your boot log - Your video driver is not loading. It's been the exact same problem no matter what you have tried. You have done everything you can do based on the concept that you have only one GPU. I have checked your laptop's specs and, indeed, you do only have one GPU. However, your DSDT does not look like it. It has 2 GPU devices: GFX0, which you have renamed IGPU; and PEG0, which doesn't seem like it would belong in a computer with only 1 GPU. Normally, you would want to disable your PEG0 device (in my case an Nvidia GPU) but I don't know if you can do that since you don't actually have a 2nd physical GPU. Therefore, I'm thinking that maybe we should try removing the PEG0 device from your DSDT. However, there is also a PEG1 and PEG2 device and I don't really know what those do. For testing purposes, I have taken your DSDT and removed all of the PEG devices. Try it out and see if you can get your video driver to load.

Just to be sure, did you use the SSDT I made a while back with this DSDT? You still need that SSDT because it renames your GFX0 device in the SSDT to IGPU. If that wasn't the issue, I'm pretty sure that this is either a DSDT problem or a problem caused by a difference between what is really inside your laptop and what Dell tells you is inside it (including shared video memory.).

The possibility still exists that, because you are booting to Clover and Windows from the same EFI directory, your custom DSDT and SSDT are not loading. Can you disable UEFI boot for testing purposes? Otherwise, try some of the changes you have been trying on a USB EFI partition and boot from the USB drive. When I first set up my laptop, I had problems with getting Clover to boot right until I made changes to my EFI settings using an app in Windows. (I'd have to boot into Windows to figure out what the app was that helped me boot to Clover instead of Windows Boot Manager). Also, what are your boot settings in BIOS?

I would try the USB first but whatever you choose to do, the goal here is to avoid the Windows Boot Manager so that you know for sure that your Clover Boot64.efi is what is booting for you. The DSDT, including the patched DSDT in ACPI/patched loads very early in the boot process. Also, try unchecking the Windows Boot Manager in your BIOS. If you are daring enough, you might even consider removing the Microsoft folder from your EFI partition (temporarily) to make it impossible to boot from anything but Clover. Again, these are sorta desperation moves but I'm really running out of ideas to figure out why your video drivers refuse to load. BTW, your Dell BIOS beats the hell out of my HP BIOS. I wish HP would make its laptop BIOS more configurable. Edited July 11, 2018 by mnfesq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, if you have room to make a 40GB partition for OSX on your NVMe drive, I am wondering if you can get graphics acceleration with Yosemite. It was the last version that did not require me to disable my discrete GPU and did not have the IOConsoleUser entries when it booted.

I compared my video code in my DSDT and SSDTs with yours. What I have in an SSDT is in your DSDT. All except one thing. My SSDT for _SB.PCI0.IGPU has a _DSM method. Your DSDT for _SB.PCI0.IGPU does not. It is not elsewhere in your DSDT or SSDTs. I added mine from my SSDT to the same location in your DSDT and removed some of the code for devices which your DSDT does not have. Try it out to see if it does anything. Just select the DSDT-VID_DSM in Clover options when you boot. Don't make it your default DSDT. DSDT-VID_DSM.aml.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
