sandokan71 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'm trying to install MacOS Mojave to my new laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad S145 with i3-8th gen). Using Clover r5070, I've prepared an USB install drive, it boots... but then it stucks on apple logo. Verbose log shows "Still waiting for the root device". I have tried a number of different clover boot options, and kexts in CLOVER/kexts/Other folder, including USBInjectAll. Tried different USB ports too. Also, I'm currently using a DSDT built for another Lenovo model (320S). Without using that DSDT my laptop is not even able to reach the "Still waiting for the root device", as it stucks much earlier. That's why I'm asking if a proper DSDT can help to completely boot the installer or not? Anyone can help me to build a new DSDT for my laptop? I can upload origin asl files taken from Clover F4 option key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why the heck is my system booting fine after a hard reset? Will be very thankful for a hint ... I think this thread can be closed as SOLVED as I got the answer to my question, at least for my specific Laptop. In order to boot, I just had to enable "KernelPm" checkbox in Clover configurator. Also, I enabled "Kernel LAPIC" and "Apple RTC" but I don't think they're required to avoid "waiting for root device...". So, to answer my initial question here: DSDT pathing is not needed for that, but you need to patch DSDT to enable other features, post-installation (and post-boot).
