Snookiwooki Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Afternoon All, Have picked up a Dell E6230 i7 3540 (3Ghz Dual core) BIOS A15 Following the guide below, with the Generic EFI in post 2 merged with Exx30_Clover found in another post by Jake. Using the EL Capitan USB I built for my 9020, re-installed Clover with the config detailed and replaced the files on the EFI partition with those listed above. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-el-capitan-clover-guide/&do=findComment&comment=54621 on booting it gets to the Clover boot screen, select install El Capitan, the Apple logo and blank percentage bar appears - at which point it goes no further and no USB activity. Any ideas please? Much appreciated -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hit the space bar when you get to the Clover screen and select verbose or no cache mode. List the error where it hang. Remember to set the BIOS correctly. You'll have to downgrade BIOS to A03 and then upgrade to A11. Set BIOS to 'Load Default', apply and then set SATA Operations to AHCI, UEFI and Legacy Rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snookiwooki Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Jake, Thank you, Have downgraded to A02 (A03 not available) and upto to A11 - Still same issue; reloaded default BIOS settings and set to UEFI, AHCI etc and have also rebuilt the USB El Capitan installer...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 23, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 23, 2015 you need the asuspm in cloverconfig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2015 Please link to the clover pack you're using or upload it here. Asus AICPUPM should be enabled, don't not use the included SSDT, as it's for another CPU most likely. Also make sure SIP is disabled in the config file for El Capitan.

Snookiwooki Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks again both, Jake this is the file I used: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8296-need-a-clover-configplist-for-dell-e6230/ Merged with the generic file from the guide. I mounted the EFI from the USB in Clover Config and asus wasn't enabled under kernel/kext patches - enabled it, saved the plist and still same error.

Snookiwooki Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 EFI partition files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2015 The files are merged to the wrong directory. Just need Config/ ACPI/ Kexts folder merged into EFI/Clover folder. Try this one instead, the one you downloaded is for Yosemite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snookiwooki Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Jake, Many many thanks... installed perfectly Would you have any recommendation on a wifi/bluetooth card ? Being a tart - is there any way to get the backlit keyboard to work? When OSX boots the Apple logo gets corrupt - is this expected? cheers again. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2015 Try Fn+F3 and Fn+Insert (Pause) = Brightness control Fn+ right arrow = Keyboard backlit = only if your keyboard supports it. For Wireless/Bluetooth combo, try DW1550. You might want to research it first before purchasing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
