open terminal, enter the following: diskutil list //determine the disk #, should be disk0 diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk0 1 GPT HFS+J "Sierra" exit Note: diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk# "Name of Drive"

Add EAPDFix. If still fails, change FixType from 1 to 3.

Yes, just copy the entire EFI folder after you install Clover to the installed drive.

Here's my Clover guide and bootpack on post #2, for El Capitan and Sierra. Go down and follow the post Installation to get Clover onto your system. Then add the bootpack. Reboot and you should see the Clover GUI. Once you're able to boot to the desktop with Clover, you can upgrade to El Capitan or Sierra directly. You should make a backup first just incase.

If you prefer not to edit the BiOS, then you have 2 choices. For Clover patching to work, the kext must first be cached, this won't work on installation. So you'll have to use a FakeID for GPU, i.e. 0x12345678 After installation and cache created, you can disable the FakeID Second choice, try adding the following kexts to /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other: lilu.kext IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext FakePCIID.kext FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext IntelGraphicsFixup.kext

What are you formatting it to? Make sure it's GUID / Extended Journaled

Just uploaded a bootpack for Sierra. Should be able to get the installer started. What error are you encountering? post screenshot. Use the More Reply Options to attach

what process did you use to create the installer?

Drop ACPI Table BGRT. You can do this in the Config file where you already have DMAR dropped.

Not a solution but just information that might be the cause https://alextjam.es/debugging-appleacpiplatform/

Replace Config with this one.

Yup. that's the intend. I don't have an E5520, but the bootpack boots up on my E6420, both SandyBridge models.

I don't see either AppleHDA_IDT.kext or AppleHDA_IDT92HD93.kext on this output above. Make sure it's either in /L/E or /S/L/E rerun the commands again until no error occur. Make sure you see either kext on the output. if not, reboot and try commands again.

The new bootpack files/folders suppose to go into the Clover folder replacing the old files.

Are you installing El Capitan or Sierra? Which version?

You seem to be mixing 2 different bootpacks in there. Why not just use the Sierra bootpack here, updated for 10.12.4 and up. You have both AppleHDA_IDT.kext and AppleHDA_IDT92HD93.kext doing the same thing. Use either one but not both and make sure AppleHDA in /S/L/E is vanilla. Hervé's guide is Chameleon and also has a patched AppleHDA since it can't be patch on the fly with Clover Config. So if you had installed that, it'll still work. You just had to repair permission and rebuild cache.

3rd times a charm. This should work now.

You won't have HDMI audio with voodooHDA. Use the patched AppleHDA I had in my bootpack. You just need to fix the permission and rebuild cache. Revisit my Clover guide.

Don't understand what you mean by deleting "plist". Did you install Clover to the NVMe drive and then copy the bootpack to the Clover folder overwriting the old folder as part of the post install? For audio, did you copy the kexts in /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other/LE to /Library/Extensions and then repair permission and rebuild cache?

See here to patch VGA for HD4000. You could add it to Clover Config kextToPatch. No need to repatch DSDT if everything else is working. DSDT was for BIOS A11 as yours.

Try new bootpack, select the LoRes file and change just the Config-LoRes to Config.plist

Try adding FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext if you have USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. If this doesn't work, then add USBInjectAll + port limit patch as well. If only USB 3.0, then add just USBInjectAll + port limit patch.

What's the display resolution of your system?
