r00tdvd Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I have Catalina Beta 3 working on my E6540 but I still have 2 main issues I need to fix and would appreciate some assistance please. 1- Only the mouse USB and a 2GB USB are working but not if I insert an Additional SSD USB or Internal 2nd SSD Drive 2- HDMI works but sound is not synced properly to the Samsung TV Regarding the USB Do we need to find and replace any address in Kernel and Kext to Patch in the config as we did for 10.14.x? If I try to install AppleAHCIPort.kext into L/E under 10.15.x it will create a Kernel Panic upon boot and I cannot fix it after that.! I have attached my EFI.zip and clover origin dump files E6540_origin.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339560-e6540-working-efi-attached-for-catalina-beta-3-except-usb-internal-2nd-ssd-hdmi-sound-sync-with-tv/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've done all of these already correctly but I am not sure.

igorw Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) I fixed the USB patch on your config.plist Your kexts folder EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS only has 10.14 on it. You should add wether 10.15 or "Other". I wonder how you're being able to boot at all on Catalina. I suggest you install the newest clover, if you haven't done so. Use a USB Drive before you mess with your original one. Your AppleALC kext is a bit outdated, get the latest build https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/releases/ Maybe you should also try Whatevergreen. config.plist Edited July 19, 2019 by igorw Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339560-e6540-working-efi-attached-for-catalina-beta-3-except-usb-internal-2nd-ssd-hdmi-sound-sync-with-tv/#findComment-2682165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tdvd Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 Hi igorw, Thank you for fixing the config.plist, the external USB 128GB SSD is now recognized. :), I modified it slightly to fix it for 10.14.5 and 10.15.0 now. I had uploaded the incorrect EFI before so I have uploaded the correct modified one EFI.zip now, I was already running Catalina ofcourse screenshot attached I just have 2 issues right now that I have been investigating and I hope you can help: 1- HDMI when connecting to a Samsung TV is not working but its working perfectly fine on 10.14.5 with sound also 2- Second 128GB Samsung SSD PM830... internal Drive in 10.14.5 it works perfectly fine because I placed AppleAHCIPort.kext.zip in L/E but not in 10.15.0. This SSD has my Data. Thank you.

r00tdvd Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Never mind about the internal SSD, I have it working now. Just the HDMI video not working right now. As soon as I connect the HDMI cable the screen goes blank / grey.

igorw Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Ok. I researched your model and it seems to come with a Discrete GPU, alongside with your iGPU. Is that correct? If so, did you disable it on purpose? About the Intel IGPU, go to IORegistryExplorer , search for IGPU, and get the values of: ig-platform-id and device-id.

r00tdvd Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) Thank you. Here are the info:- ig-platform-id <06 00 26 0a> device-id <12 04 00 00> I am using the same EFI Clover files for Mojave and Catalina. HDMI is working on Mojave but not Catalina This is the latest EFI.zip I am still not sure what's wrong because I am pretty sure at some point the HDMI video on Catalina was working. Either I changed something in my EFI that stopped the HDMI video from working or it was an earlier beta of Catalina that worked.

Its ok thank you for your help . When I boot while HDMI connected, it just gets stuck at the loading bar screen after it was booted and if I boot without it, the screen just goes black when I connect the HDMI. I will keep trying I am sure some day I will figure out what it is.
