Thunderbolt: No drivers are loaded. #5

Closed philffm closed 5 years ago

philffm commented 5 years ago

Hi, thank you for this repository ! Everything went fine so far. However, I am still struggling with my TB3 devices (HP Omen Accelerator) - it starts spinning, but is not detected by macOS.

In System Information it says: "Thunderbolt: No drivers are loaded."

Tried with both settings: BIOS assist enabled/disabled

Do you have any idea, how to solve this :)?

Best, Phil

UPDATE 1:

Uh, damn - just read, that Thunderbolt is still considered as a "weak" spot in hackintoshing. Thought, I found the perfect replacement for my MacBook (just feels fragile and I want to escape the service-dependency and potential high repair costs towards apple - but however already have this eGPU setup, so I needed a capable device with "working" TB3 :D). Seems, I need to find another solution to use my ThinkPad with monitors - at least it has all the ports and still I can use the GPU in Windows for now.

UPDATE 2: Partly success: When booting up with TB3 device attached (HP Omen Accelerator), the following things are detected / working (hot-plug does not work - neither does GPU (RX580) spin-up and work) :

Still, if you have any advice on where to start and whether it is worth to continue at all, let me know :) (Would have a look at: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/in-progress-ssdt-for-thunderbolt-3-hotplug.248784/)

UPDATE 3: Hotplug works now - thanks to the SSDT-TB3.aml from https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/in-progress-ssdt-for-thunderbolt-3-hotplug.248784/ (except after sleep - after sleep, only PD keeps working)

However, the eGPU is visible in the IOreg explorer (see screenshot) and even the "eGPU" icon in the top bar shows up for a few seconds - but without detecting a GPU .
