Help needed with E6530: Clover, Yosemite final, external Display Issue

[gylife]

Thanks for the reply. I had the experience of successfully install Yosemite on E6530 with Chameleon using your great guide.

 

I tried to repeat the process with clover using the kexts and DSDT in your guide.

Here is what I did:

1. Follow the guide (step 1 and 2) to create usb installer with clover

2. Copy the kexts in your guide into the folder /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10/ of the usb installer

3. Copy the DSDT (tried DSDT-NVS.aml and DSDT-off.aml) into the folder  /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/ of the usb installer

 

Result:

1. The kexts in step 2 could be successfully loaded by clover. But it can't solve the halt problem.

2. The DSDT in step 3 will cause an error which prints the dump of CPU registers (I could attach the screenshot later). The same DSDT works well in Chameleon but not in Clover.

 

Any suggestion?

Thank you so much.

I believe Clover will look for DSDT.aml by default. So make sure to rename it or set it in config to read that specific DSDT depending whether you have optimus on or off.

Yes, Clover will look for DSDT.aml by default.

 

When I uncheck Optimus in BIOS, I rename DSDT-NVS.aml to DSDT.aml

When I Check Optimus in BIOS, I rename DSDT-off.aml to DSDT.aml

In both cases it encountered the same error which prints the dump of CPU registers.

 

I see most of the clover users don't use and don't need DSDT. Do you think it is a possible way to solve the video issue? Which keyword I could use to search if I want to edit the DSDT around the video settings?

 

Thank you very much.

add nvda_drv=1 if you're disabling Optimus and nv_disable=1 if you're enabling Optimus in Clover

I solve the boot halting issue by inserting my USB installer (using clover) to the USB-2.0-only port (at the backside of E6530).
