Cannot boot into system after successful installation #22

Closed Rakantor closed 5 years ago

Rakantor commented 5 years ago

I have the 1080p non touchscreen version of the XPS 15 9570 with 16 GB RAM and i7-8750H CPU.

I could install Mojave 10.14.2 successfully. After logging into the system for the first time, I replaced the "CLOVER" and "BOOT" folder in my EFI folder on my hard drive's ESP with the "CLOVER" and "BOOT" folder from the "EFI" folder in this Github repository. I also deleted "config.plist" and renamed "config_1080p.plist" to "config.plist". Then I ran "sudo kextcache -i /" without errors. Then I tried to reboot. I can boot into Clover bootloader without a USB stick and select my installation of Mojave. Then there's a lot of text as usual when booting Mojave, but after a few seconds the screen goes black and my system reboots.

So I changed ig-platform-id to 0x12345678 and tried again - it worked this time. I could boot into Mojave, BUT the system information showed "Intel UHD Graphics 6 MB". error_report.docx

I then again changed ig-platform-id back to 0x3e9b0000 and rebooted. It doesn't work, same issue as mentioned before.

I also tried replacing the whole EFI folder on my ESP with the EFI folder you provide, but then I just get a blue screen when booting and the clover bootloader doesn't boot at all.

What can I do?

Hi @Rakantor, take a look at this guide that give good tips to make hackintosh on the Dell XPS 9570: guide

I got it working. The only thing I did was to change this part in the config.plist

The system boots without a problem now and the system info shows "Intel UHD Graphics 2048 MB". Thanks!
