Please specify the system's full specs.

Are you looking for a Chameleon or Clover guide?

I have a Yosemite Chameleon guide but can easily be updated to El Capitan.

Just need to use the Enoch branch of Chameleon and disable SIP.

Just use our search engine. You'll a bunch of El Capitan with Chameleon guide, just replace the bootpack with M6800.

I'm new to Hackintosh, so it's not an easy task for me to make fully functional El Capitan on my Precision. I've managed to install it with Clover, but many thing doesn't work. Also, tried to install kexts from Yosemite Guide - system do not start after this manipulations. Clover or Chameleon - I just want to see working build:) So, if you could help me I will be very appreciative.

M6800 shares the same specifications as M4800, except GPUs and screen size (Quadro K3100M/K4100M/5100M vs. Quadro K1100M/2100M, 17.3" LCD vs. 15.6" LCD). The rest is totally identical (add-on & optional hardware accessories excluded of course)).

Upload your working Clover folder, I'll add or fix it for you.

Thank you! :)

If there is a working guide - it would be much easier, but I can't find it...

 

P.S. Used the DSTD from Yosemite Guide.

UPD: Attached DSDT from my M6800 (A16)

Make sure to disable SIP and apply the kernelPm Enoch boot option...

Thanks, I'll try this later, after Clover + El Capitan final result:)

 

So... I've played with config.plist and got semi-working Sleep. By this, I mean that getting into Sleep is only working without AC attached. When laptop finally in Sleep mode, I can attach AC. Getting out of Sleep only works properly with attached AC - otherwise, I'll get black screen. But still, what is not working for now:

 

WebCam (USB\VID_0C45&PID_64D0&REV_3606)

Screen brightness regulation

Touchpad on/of switch

Power button

Display lid

WWAN (Dell Wireless 5570 HSPA+ VID 413C/PID 81A3)

Fingerprint (Broadcom USB\VID_0A5C&PID_5801&REV_0101)
