apfs_module_start, despite ECDV -> EC patch in config.plist - Dell 5378 laptop (Kaby Lake)

[MisterKeeks]

Hi all, 

I have Mojave and Clover running on this machine, but I'm trying to do a clean install of Catalina/OpenCore to a new disk.

I've been following the official OpenCore guides. I have applied the ECDV to EC patch in the config.plist, yet the laptop still hangs on apfs_module_start.

 

It's my understanding that SSDT_EC.aml is not to be used for laptops, as the embedded controller is necessary for battery info. 

 

This isn't my first Hackintosh, but it is my first time using OpenCore. I wouldn't be surprised if I am making a stupid mistake somewhere. 

 

An image of the file structure in my USB is attached, as well as an image of the patch in config.plist showing the relevant patches. A zipped EFI folder is also attached. 

 

Also of note, the boot hangs at LOG:EXITBS:START unless RebuildAppleMemoryMap is set to FALSE and SetupVirtualMap is set to TRUE. Not sure why this is. 

 

The laptop is a Dell 5378 

• i7-7500U
• Intel HD 620 (no discrete)
• 8GB DDR4 (one stick)
• 250GB Samsung SATA SSD
