Hi there, I'm trying to install High Sierra 10.13.6 18G66 on this hardware

RAM: 4x2GB 1333MHz
SSD: Samsung 840 250GB
GPU: Nvidia GT710 1GB
Audio: ALC 662 (layout 5, 7, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17)

But I'm stuck here

I can attach ACPI dump from Debian 10 (you can find them either in the origin folder or the attached .zip

 

The BIOS settings are very restrictive, I could only disable fast boot according to the recommended bios options i can find on this forum... Here are the screenshots:

Thanks a lot Hervé, I will perform the necessary tests and let you know whether if that pc is going to be able to handle mojave as well. I know for sure that the GT710 is Kepler and supports Mojave (I have another PC with 10.14.6 18G103 installed with that GPU and it works fine as a natively supported AMD graphics card, so I'm sure about that)

Ok, I swapped the config.plist with yours (iMac 13,2 if I'm not wrong) but I have the same kext stall[0] as you can read from here.

I deleted nullcpuPM.kext too

What could cause that problem? Is there any way to overcome that acpi error? 

 

Thanks
