Is there any issue with the installation?

Is there any issue with the installation?

Yes, first I installed Ventura (of course, I had to spoof the graphics for that). Everything was going fine, then I decided to upgrade to Sonoma, but since I had issues, I gave up. Time passed, and I upgraded to Sequoia (I spoofed the SMBIOS).


The update went well, and in this one, I have been trying to enable graphics acceleration, modifying the kext to the point where I got a screen with a prohibition symbol. If you could guide me and help me get back on the right track, I would really appreciate it.

I am attaching the errors I have encountered throughout the modifications, up to the last one, which is marked with the negation symbol.

You will excuse my English since I am using AI to translate. I have also used it as a help to modify some parameters.


Thanks again for your attention.

Although your EFI is not proper, the issue is different. Add -disablegfxfirmware to your boot args. Remove igfxfw=2 and then check.

I also see that you've irrelevant VoodooI2C satellite kexts. Only use what's meant for your hardware.

Hello, I did what you told me in the boot args and also reinstalled the system.
I was editing the graphics settings and managed to get some acceleration, but I’m still missing HEVC.


Do you have any idea how I could fix that and achieve it?
I’m once again grateful for your response.

Attach the EFI to check!

Attach the EFI to check!

Since the Efi file is large and does not allow more than 20MB, I had to delete the itlwm kext and IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext, but they are complete in the original EFI.

Delete all the device properties except for IGPU (PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0). Then delete the following keys from it:

AAPL,slot-name
device_type
model

You shouldn't require agdpmod=pikera. Moreover, your BIOS should already support NVMe and you likely don't need to use NvmExpressDxe.efi.

Also, switching to a correct SMBIOS would be preferred. But make the above changes first and then attach the PR files to check.

I had to be absent due to work matters, and now I put into practice what you told me and managed to get acceleration. The issue is that after a few minutes the system freezes on my laptop, and I’m thinking it’s because I signed in to Apple services with my iCloud account.
Here I’m attaching several documents.

Still not as per the guide. Here are a few problems:

- Remove ResetLogoStatus.
- Delete all the device properties except for IGPU (PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0).
- Why are you using all the I2C satellite kexts? Just I2C+HID should be enough. You can remove the PS2 kexts as well (except for the keyboard).
- When you are using UTBMap to map the USB ports, what's the need to inject UIAC.aml, - when its intended to use with USBInjectAll.kext?
- You were mentioned to remove NvmExpressDxe.efi. Why it has not been removed yet?


What's the SSD model you are using?
