person4268 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hi, I'm currently trying to install Big Sur on my Dell Precision M4800 laptop with an i7-4600M. I'm following the dortitania guide at https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/, and the installer boots to the GUI just fine, but I can't proceed with the installation because I can't move the mouse or use the keyboard at all. Any ideas? Here are my kexts: IntelMausi.kext AirportItlwm.kext AppleALC.kext IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext IntelBluetoothInjector.kext Lilu.kext SMCDellSensors.kext SMCProcessor.kext SMCSuperIO.kext USBInjectAll.kext VirtualSMC.kext VoodooPS2Controller.kext WhateverGreen.kext XHCI-unsupported.kext (it's in the folder but I took it out of config.plist to see if it made a difference) config.plist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
person4268 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 I'm in the actual Big Sur installer, not in OpenCore, like the screen that lets you choose whether to restore from Time Machine, launch the installer, or open Safari. In other words, the system booted fine, but I can't move the mouse or type anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
person4268 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I tried using the DrHurt kext just now, removing the old VoodooPS2Controller kext, and got a "Dependency com.apple.iokit.IOHIDSystem fallback to com.apple.iokit.IOHIDFamily succeeded. Please fix your kext!" error during early boot, I tried using one of the USB HID patches from the guide that was meant for machines older than mine, but it didn't work, so I'm first going to try and revert that patch, and then I'm going to check if it happened with the other kext. Also: I got that error twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
person4268 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 The DrHurt kext seemed to be what was creating that error, and also keep in mind the system still boots fine with it, just figured it might've been an error that was the source of the problem. I'd also like to mention that it's not just the trackpad that doesn't work. The keyboard doesn't work either and plugging in a usb mouse doesn't even light up and pressing numlock and capslock on the keyboard doesn't enact a response. Additionally, I got a version mismatch error with ProperTree when doing an OC Snapshot and don't know what it means. Not sure if it's related or not.

person4268 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 No dice. Keep in mind I'm not talking about anything graphical in OpenCore, just the actual MacOS Big Sur Recovery OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limurphy Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 @Hervé, Yes , you are right , those for OC picker. I was misunderstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
person4268 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 1. I think I misunderstood the guide on the first one, don't think an invalid property would cause much but I'll remove it. 2. Maybe I just badly censored it? I did use the guide for everything, and deviated from it minimally. I was trying to quickly censor the serial numbers like it said in the pinned post, which I quickly did in notepad. I'll double check with the guide when I have time. Maybe making it look like I left values at their default was a bad idea. 3. I'll test this out when I have time, in about 3 hours.

person4268 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I tried a wired USB mouse and it didn't even light up, let alone work. I didn't try a keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

person4268 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 What should I look for? I'm using all of the ACPI stuff recommended for Haswell laptops in the guide except for the I2C stuff because I know for sure that I don't have an I2C trackpad and tried using SSDTTime with no success. Currently searching around for stuff involving USBInjectAll not working but can only seem to find things where USB3 doesn't work or some ports don't work. Is there a way to log kernel output from the install usb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
