djtoxxyc Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hello, I am trying to install Mac OSX El Captain on a Dell XPS L401X laptop. I have Windows 10 installed and it's working just fine. The hardware of the unit is: Processor: i5 M560 @ 2.67Ghz Ram: 6GB HDD: sata 500 gb Graphics: Intel HD Graphics Nvidia GeForce GT 420M Bluetooth: Yes Wireless: Intel Centrino N1000 After booting the installer it shows a distorted image and suddenly reboots. Can you please give a hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2016 Boot to Clover Gui, hit F4. Compress and attach /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Origin This system has the 1st Generation HD Graphics. In order to boot, go to /System/Library/Extensions and remove AppleIntelHDGraphics* The nvidia might not be supported and will need to be disable from the BIOS or by DSDT patching.

djtoxxyc Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Hello, I know about the WIFI that it does not work. I have a USB TP-LINK WIFI adapter that i will use till I'll buy the right wifi card. I figured that it was a problem with the graphics card but didn't know what to do. I will try as posted earlyer and hope to succeed. Did anyone manage to instal on this kind of Dell?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted June 4, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 4, 2016 the macbook pro 6,1 used arrandale cpu maybe you can try using that as your smbios. the only issue i can see is what type of connecter your display uses if LVDS you might be able to get full graphics support if its eDP connection then that might be an issue. you can check this link for more info about 1st gen intel graphics support.
