[SOLVED] E6430 - El Capitan installation


pirolito

Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

i've a E6430 with following specs:

 

- Intel Core i5-3340M CPU @ 2.70GHz

- 4GB DDR3

- HD Graphics 4000

- Kingston SSDNow 120gb

- Centrino WIFI soon to be replaced with DW1510 (for now i use the ethernet port and TL-WN725N)

 

I'm having problems starting to build the USB key with the EFI and bootpack for E6430.

Should i do this? (look image)

Instruction:

2. Download model below and add the contents into the Generic /EFI/Clover  <- folder

USB bootable done.

 

BIOS A12.

Starting the installer and...

I don't really understand this panic messages, but i found it weird that CPU3, when this 3340m has only two cores, or maybe its just coincidence.

KP is probably due to the PS2Controller you're using although this usually did not happen until 10.11.4 and you're obviously installing 10.11.3. You shoud be able to safely use the version provided here. Just replace the kext.

 

Indeed, Intel i5-3340M is a dual-core CPU, but each core is dual-thread capable, hence 4 logical CPUs...

What am i missing? Still getting Kernel Panic.

 

I've followed the guide (https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-el-capitan-clover-guide/):

 

0 - Setup USB key wioth GUID Partition (done)

 

11. Go to Applications, right click on “Install OS X El Capitanâ€/Show Package Contents/Contents/ SharedSupport

12. Mount InstallESD.dmg

13. Launch ShowHiddenFiles and select “Show Special Files†( app attached at the end of guide)

14. Mount BaseSystem.dmg (hidden) from “OS X Install ESDâ€

15. Use Disk Utility to restore “OS X Base System†to USB (see image below)

16. After restore is complete, USB is now renamed to “OS X Base Systemâ€. Go ahead and rename it to â€œInstall OS X El Capitanâ€

17. Go to â€œInstall OS X El Capitanâ€/System/Installation and delete the alias “Packagesâ€.

18. Copy “Packages†from root of “OS X Install ESD†to â€œInstall OS X El Capitanâ€/System/Installation

19. Copy BaseSystem.dmg and BaseSystem.chunklist (hidden files) from “OS X Install ESD†to root of â€œInstall OS X El Capitanâ€

20. Launch ShowHiddenFiles and select “Hide Special Filesâ€

21. Download Clover ( at time of writing v3320)

22. Open Clover package installer

23. Hit Continue, ContinueChange Install Location...

25. Choose “Install OS X El Capitanâ€

26. Hit Continue, then hit Customize. Select these items:

  • Install for UEFI booting only
  • Install Clover in the ESP
  • Drivers64UEFI\OsxAptioFixDrv-64
  • Note: For non UEFI BIOS, see Note1 of post #2

27. Click Install

28. After installation of Clover, the hidden EFI Partition will appear on the Desktop

 

ALL DONE!!!!!!

 

Now, i just have a doubt.

I've downloaded de generic bootpack and de e6430 files.

Extracted both, and copied the e6430 files to the generic bootpack on EFI/Clover

 

Now, do i have to replace the USB EFI partition EFI folder with the one combined before? Because, that's what i've done.

Then changed bios to UEFI and teh other settings, like AHCI and boot from USB installer.

After a few seconds i get a Kernel Panic. What the video:

First of all, a big thanks to Jake Lo, who helped me out on the USB creation.

 

@Jake Lo, that solved the boot problems and the installation went smooth.

Now, i'm will do the post-installations steps and see if everything goes ok.

 

I will keep this post updated until i get my E6430 in full working order :D

Use Fn+F3 & Fn+Insert for brightness control

Open Sound preferences, make sure Internal Speaker is switched to Headphone. No issue for me. Try booting without cache.
