haymant Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) This is to report successful install of Mojave to Dell E6430, with the following steps (for a newbie like me): 0. Installed Mojave at Virtualbox https://techsviewer.com/install-macos-10-14-mojave-virtualbox-windows/ a. Downloaded Mojave, Clover into VM b. Made Bootable Mojave USB drive https://hackintosher.com/guides/how-to-make-a-macos-10-14-mojave-flash-drive-installer/ c. Used EFI zip from the following guide at step b d. As this is a 1600x900 screen model, used https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/9608-solved-latitude-6430u-sierra-1600x900-clover/ at step b e. May need to fix virtual box USB mounting issue of "USB device is busy with a previous request" 1. Followed vanilla install procedure at https://hackintosher.com/guides/mac-os-mojave-hackintosh-clover-walkthrough-10-14-install/ a. BIOS must enable ACHI, otherwise, installer can't find HDD b. Used ubuntu live USB drive to format whole HDD to HFS+, otherwise, installer can't find HDD c. Used installer Disk Utility to Erase whole HDD, otherwise, installer thinks the HDD can't boot Mojave Didn't test bluetooth. Other than it, the laptop GUI hangs after wake up from sleep (though can ssh remote). This laptop is used as remote development server for VisualStudio+Xaramin. It serves the purpose perfectly. 6430u_1600x900.zip Edited March 23, 2019 by haymant Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/338030-mojave-1014-on-dell-e6430-with-bugful-sleep/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

clemsyn Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 This is based on slice's work, I basically edited his DSDT and fix his config files to fix black screen, sleep/wake issues and hangups. I have an A23 bios an i7 3540 and a 1600x900 screen. I am running the Catalina hack at 10.15.4.

With my config there is no more deactivating Optimus in the BIOS as it was with older configs.

clemsyn Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I updated my EFI again because there was a hang issue with the old VoodoooPS2. Attached is my second version and running for six days with no hang. I will try to move this to OpenCore.
