ssprod Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Greetings.. a new acquisition of an old soldier: HP EliteBook 8440P Intel Core i5 540M (Arrandale) Nvidia NVS 3100M GPU Attempting to install El Capitan 10.11 via Clover Legacy (tried with default config and nvidia config without success) Picture shows where it gets stuck, then results in corrupted verbose Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.. don't want to bury this baby just yet. Thanks! Update: Persistence pays off I suppose, i'd be glad to share my Clover EFI and pertinent kexts for any member of this forum who would find this useful. PM is best. Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keffr3n Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hello! I'm glad you managed to install El Capital on 8440p, I have one and I want to try installing a Mac OS on it. It's my first experience with Mac OS, where I live (Romania) Apple laptops are not that popular. So, how did you do it? Cand you give me some advice? Tools used/steps? Any hardware not working? Also, how is the performance? Is better than a 8440p with windows on it? Can it be used as a daily laptop, for browsing, editing, etc? Thanks a lot!

Administrators Hervé Posted December 3, 2015 Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2015 @ssprod: rather than offer your Clover folder + necessary kexts by PM, why don't you post them directly in this thread or as an add-on to a guide? Don't be shy to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt101 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Worked nicely for me thank you very much! Mine is the same 8440p apart from the processor is the i7 Finally got into the installer. I used Clover_v2.3k_Special Edition-v2 , Made my El capitan USB tok for ever! Then I mounted the EFI partition from the USB drive, And replaced the EFI Directory with the one in your ZIP , Dragged and dropped your replacement kexts to System / Library / Extensions, Waiting for install, will report back when I have a working system!
