How to Fix Before getting the hands dirty
This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites
- Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Verify your network controller model (Intel, Broadcom, Realtek).
- Ensure the correct kext (e.g., AirportItlwm or BrcmPatchRAM) is loaded in your config.
- Clear network interfaces and reset NVRAM if changes don't apply.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.
Original Question:
I'm making my first hack on a HP 15 r110dx (spec). I've prepared the usb with required kexts and other stuff (followed the Dortania's guied). Now before actually booting off the USB, I have some questions to ask.
-
How well Catalina will run on HDD?
-
How am I supposed to format my target partition in APFS (1st point) ? It has no third party implementation (HFS+ has, by
hfsprogson Linux) -
I'm supposed to have a 200+ mb partition, formatted fat, and flagged boot, as required. But that's the
/bootpartition used by GRUB, what will happen to GRUB then? -
I neither have an Ethernet connection nor a suported WiFi adapter. I've extracted the HoRndIS kext from the pkg, will it work?
-
What I need to remember for multibooting with Linux?
