Help wanted: Acer Aspire 5742G

Uh. That's a bummer. Thanks. Which version can I install then?

Sorry, that's why we need a laptop expert to hand - @Feartech etc.

Looking at the guide - here - you can see the earliest AMD HD series chipset supported is 5770 in the AMD5000Controller.kext. That began support with Snow Leopard and is really too far back to be practical. Maybe support continued to High Sierra. To be honest, I'm not sure.

Your CPU iGPU is not supported either.

However, using Site Search can be very useful. For example I just found this post:

There is a lot to read elsewhere but as you say you are not experienced in hackintoshing, I'm wary of just sending you off to read stuff.
 
But why is it loading in the ACPI Error about Mac OS High Sierra for Acer Aspire 5742G

Hello.

Maybe upload your EFI folder as a ZIP archive so we can take a look at it?

How did you create your USB installer? Did you use a real Mac to download Sierra or some other method?

:)
