stillsaad8 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 13 minutes ago, Hervé said: Try this Clover config instead. config.plist.zip Tried this and still the same error :/ 14 minutes ago, Hervé said: Your Clover folder does not contain any patched DSDT. I would suggest that when you boot Clover and reach the main menu, you press F4 a few times and wait a few seconds so that Clover dumps your ACPI tables to the ACPI/origin folder. You may then zip it and post it so that we have a look at the tables. Ok will try this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an old machine by today's standards and the DSDT is quite basic. Try this revised Clover config. config.plist.zip How did you create your USB installer? You may want to consider Enoch if you keep getting no joy with Clover... Thabks for your help. Resetting the bios and using your custom config.plist,nv_disable=1 did the job for me. Now what should I do post installlation provided it goes smoothly xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillsaad8 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, Hervé said: Well, your Clover kexts folder only contains FakeSMC + Lilu so all your hardware accessories will need to be cared for: graphics, audio, LAN, wireless, card reader, USB ports, etc. I got ethernet working and installed Nvidia web drivers but I can't boot with it it gives no signal and then restarts so I have to use nv_disable=1. Also which kext should I use for audio? EDIT: Got sound working as well just need to fix graphics now.

stillsaad8 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hey there this is my clover folder can you please look at it and fix my graphics problem(display gives no signal if Nvidia web drivers are enabled in clover boot options so I have to temporarily use nv_disable=1). Thanks CLOVER.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillsaad8 Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 3 hours ago, Hervé said: For some reason, it appears you switched your Clover Config to that of a different machine. Why didn't you keep the config I gave you? Since you'r using Lilu + WEG, untick "Inject nVidia" in Clover. 1 I installed clover on my HDD instead of USB so I didn't copy the config you gave me. I have unticked inject Nvidia but it still gives black screen :/ Will using the config you gave me will fix this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly I tried your config again and it does give me a black screen (no signal) however everything else seems to be working (audio, mouse, etc).
