Administrators Hervé Posted May 12, 2016 Administrators Share Posted May 12, 2016 You should be able to build on the existing guides posted for Mavericks some time ago. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/forum/137-lenovo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enebasco Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 I have not had any success yet, but I keep trying. There are many how's and why's I do not understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 14, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 14, 2016 You'll have to install Clover in Legacy mode, UEFI is not supported in the model. Remove AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext in /S/L/E. After install, you'll need to remove it in the Installed drive again to be able to get to the desktop. Then install the patched graphics kext for your particular resolution. This is assuming you have the 1st generation Intel HD graphics. If you have the nvidia graphics, then you can ignore the above about removing the FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enebasco Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 How does one remove AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext in /S/L/E before install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enebasco Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 I do believe I am on the right path. I have created my installer using Clover in legacy mode, but it gets stuck at the load screen. The status bar is complete, but no progress beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 15, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2016 Most likely it's not loading the graphics. You'll be able to tell by booting without cache or in verbose mode. To remove the FB, mount the USB Installer from your Mac. Navigate to /System/Library/Extensions of the installer and remove the FB or all of AppleIntelHDGraphics* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enebasco Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 As always Jake Lo, I appreciate your help. I have turned on hidden items, but I am not finding the Extensions folder under System/Library. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
