MrComputer Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 thanks a million, PetiG! i wonder if my problem was using the 10.11.5 installer? i will try to find 10.11.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrComputer Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I don't know what I'm doing wrong at this point. Am I using clover wrong? I ran clover on a usb and copied the files from your archive to where they belong within it. Now it crashes immediately and made no progress. using the clover files from savage's post i get to the apple loading screen with the progress bar but it halts once it is full. i think its a kernel panic I feel like i must be missing something. edit: i read jake's guide. i added your archive to jake's generic clover and now im still having no luck. i'm having a memory problem immediately after i try booting mac installer. edit: omg are you on a vpro? my bad. im on the non vpro. sorry.

PetiG87 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 I'm non vPro too. Jake's guide should get you to booting the installer, no matter what version it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrComputer Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 following jake's guide, my machine crashes within 5 seconds of booting off mac installer. I have been building the installer using 10.6.8. I have an update to 10.7 running right now. I'm hoping that will help. I'm running out of ideas. I've spent a few sleepless nights already trying to get this thing running, using all sorts of different images. I still feel like I'm overlooking something very simple. If you have any suggestions i am all ears. Thanks again for your help and your patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted June 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 16, 2016 How about booting in verbose mode and posting a (reasonably-sized) picture of the crash/KP? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrComputer Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I will post a pic when I get home, thank you Hervé! Edit: With every post I make I realize how many mistakes I've overlooked. OsxAptioFixDrv: Starting overrides for System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efiUsing reloc block: yes, hibernate wake: no+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This is the problem I've been having I think. I will confirm when I get home and see if switching dimm slots helps me out.Again, thanks for your patience everyone. Edit 2: Peti, is your archive to be used as a bootpack? This is my first time not using unifail. I install clover then download the generic efi and combine your archive into it and putting DSDT.aml in the ACPI\patched folder. Is this correct or am I missing something? I would send a pic with my log but i'm not even confident that I have the boot loader configured properly yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrComputer Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGYthmHWgIsMGdMbXFkSjRyZTQ/view?usp=sharing here is the mess i have so far. I set up clover and partition for Sandybridge which I believe is what my microarch is. (according to jake's guide) I have the 720p display not the 1600 display and don't know what to do about it. EDIT: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6372-dell-latitude-5x30-6x30-clover-install-guide/ I gave up on el Capitan and am trying this guide, and here im getting a KP too. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGYthmHWgIsQnlpbzExTU8yTEE/view?usp=sharing I feel like i am way closer to getting it to boot with this guide if anyone can point out what it is im doing wrong. I'm sorry for all the questions I am leaving for school very soon and I need this puppy running mac. Getting desperate!

Administrators Hervé Posted June 17, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 17, 2016 Are you sure it's a SandyBridge platform? What CPU and graphics do you have in there? It'll show in the BIOS System Information page. You appear to be using a MacBookPro9,2 SMBIOS, i.e. an IvyBridge system. Unless you get to know what your specs are, you're unlikely to get anywhere. Finally, you get the well-known AICPUPM KP, make sure to activate AsusAICPUPM in Clover or to use the patched AICPUPM kext with Chameleon/Enoch.

MrComputer Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Im not positive. I feel like I may have a pretty obscure e5430 or something. I'm on an i3-2328m. my video controller just says intel hd graphics but i think its 3000. I'm running in -x right now after activating AICUPM in clover and I crash after missing bluetooth controller transport. Which, from what I've read is related to my gfx. here's another screencap: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGYthmHWgIsRE1rWS1vWVcySVU/view?usp=sharing here's my clover: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGYthmHWgIsb1gyWGNVdjZuSTQ/view?usp=sharing Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. I went into this knowing it wouldn't be as easy as a desktop build but I have sunk so many hours into this at this point that I just want to get it over with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 17, 2016 Moderators Share Posted June 17, 2016 Indeed, your spec is different than most E5430 which has HD4000, good to know this bit of information. What's the display resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
