radionoise Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hello! Here is my Inspiron 5558 config: i5 5200u Broadwell Intel HD 5500 + NVIDIA 920m (I know this one won't work) ALC 3234 Dell Wireless (I know I'll have to get another wireless card) Realtek RTL8106E or RTL8111G ethernet (don't know exactly which one) Realtek SD card reader. I want to install el capitan on my laptop but I don't know where should I start. Can you help me with some step by step guide please? UPDATE 15.05.2016: With the help of Jake Lo I have fully working El Capitan 10.11.4 Brightness Control - WORKING Sound - WORKING Sleep - WORKING Ethernet - WORKING Sound - WORKING Webcam - WORKING Bluetooth - WORKING (replaced with Dell DW1560 card) Wireless - WORKING (replaced with Dell DW1560 card) SD Card Reader - NOT WORKING (it's Realtek so no chance it's gonna work in OSX) Here is my bootpack 5558_HD5500.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 1, 2016 Try this guide. Use the bootpack in post #2 (Inspiron 5548). It's very similar to your system specs. Leave out the DSDT/SSDT in /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched.When you first boot to the USB installer and seeing the Clover GUI, hit F4. Then select Install OS X El Capitan.This should get you to install and have a semi working system. From your USB Installer, compress and upload the /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Origin folder.I'll patch those files for you. Also check out my E7450 guide, specifically the prerequisite of setting the DVMT to 96MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 2, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2016 Were you able to set the DVMT in the BIOS? Do you have full QE/CI so far without the DSDT/SSDT? Here, place these in /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched. Let me know what work and not work 5558_HD5500.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radionoise Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 I don't exactly know where I can find info about QE/CI (I remember it was available in system report in snow leopard) but animation is smooth so I suppose it works. I've set DVMT through EFI shell (i do not have that setting in bios). I placed your files on my EFI partition where clover installed to /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched and now I'm stuck during boot process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 3, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 3, 2016 Can you boot to Clover GUI, hit the spacebar and select boot without cache. Post where the system hang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radionoise Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Sorry, I made a photo to my previous post but forgot to attach it. I'm stuck on this screen. Booting without cache doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
