irfan67670 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I have a perfectly working Mojave installation on my Dell 3537, i5-4200U, Intel HD4400 Graphics, 8GB RAM. When I tried to upgrade using Catalina, it got stuck on showing '8 hours and 54 minutes remaining' and then the time started increasing instead of decreasing. So I decided to create a bootable USB and when I boot it, it always gets stuck on one of these two lines (sometime one comes before the other..): apfs_module_start: 1683: load: com.apple.filesystem.apfs, v1412 .... OR ApplePS2Controller: Notification consumer published: ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad Things I have tried already and did nothing: - Removing VoodooPS2Controller kext and use external mouse/keyboard, - keep only minimal kexts in clover for booting (ethernet, smc etc) - clover patch to change ECDV to EC - Add SSDT-EC.aml to my patched ACPI folder in clover Next thing will try is removing VirtualSMC and use FakeSMC during installation, if anyone faced same issue and found a solution, please advise. Thanks CLOVER.zip Edited November 3, 2019 by irfan67670 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/340999-need-help-upgrading-mojave-to-catalina-on-dell-3537/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore that, found online. Thanks Will try again tonight and see how it goes Edited November 3, 2019 by irfan67670 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/340999-need-help-upgrading-mojave-to-catalina-on-dell-3537/#findComment-2695952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
irfan67670 Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) @onemanOSX It did not work. Added SSDT-EC.aml and SSDT-USBX.aml to patched folder, added changes EC0 to EC in clover patches (different combinations). Confirmed that clover can see the patches and loading the ssdt files at boot, but the installer is still stuck at the same "apfs_module_start: 1683" line. Happens if i boot with installer usb or if i upgrade directly from mojave and after first boot into installer, stuck at same place (no usb devices connected at all).
