Install Issue

[arctic4x4]

Hey Ouija,
I followed your instructions on getting Catalina installed but it stalls, I did verbose mode and this is what I got.

Read the Pre-Install section under Detailed Installation and Configuration Notes:

First off, you need to have the two Prevent Apple I2C kexts from attaching to I2C controllers patches by CoolStar added to the Clover configuration of the USB Installer or you'll see a number of errors in the console related to the appleintellpssi2ccontrollertiming out, due to the native AppleIntelPSSI2Controller trying to attach to the I2C devices in the machine.

Second, you need to also ensure that the VoodooTSSync.kext is also installed to the EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other folder of the USB Installer or you'll get a kernel panic on installation as well.

Your system is stalling because the I2C controller is attaching to the native AppleIntelPSSI2Controller kext, and you'll need these patches by CoolStar added to Clover in order to prevent this.

Specifically, you need to add the following lines under the <key>KextsToPatch</key> section of your Clover's config.plist file:

<dict>
    <key>Comment</key>
    <string>Prevent Apple I2C kexts from attaching to I2C controllers, credit CoolStar</string>
    <key>Name</key>
    <string>com.apple.driver.AppleIntelLpssI2C</string>
    <key>Find</key>
    <data>SU9LaXQ=</data>
    <key>Replace</key>
    <data>SU9LaXM=</data>
    <key>InfoPlistPatch</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
