Use legacy mode in BIOS, and set SAta operations to AHCI

Replace it with this one.

If you only have 1 memory stick, make sure it's on slot 1 and not 2.

Try this version. Switch to ACPI 6.1

What app did you use to decompress the zip file? It might have corrupted the file. I have no issue using the default app from OS X.

If system won't boot from Installed drive after installing Clover in the ESP. Do the following: 1) Boot with USB installer, select the installed drive to boot 2) From terminal, enter diskutil list. Note the virtual drive. It doesn't work with Legacy Mode diskutil list /dev/disk0 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *256.1 GB disk0 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_CoreStorage Macintosh SSD 63.5 GB disk0s2 3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3 /dev/disk1 (internal, virtual): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: Apple_HFS Macintosh SSD +63.1 GB disk1 Logical Volume on disk0s2 75DADC16-4B7F-4C7D-9660-10A1C2A9FC02 Unencrypted Fix: 1) Boot with USB installer, select the installed drive 2) From terminal, run diskutil cs revert /dev/disk1 3) Mount EFI Partition with EFI-mounterv3 and erased everything 4) Delete EFI and EFI Backup Folders on the root of installed drive 5) Restart, boot with USB installer and select installed drive again 6) Installed Clover with the following settings: Install Clover in the ESP Bootloader/Install boot0af in MBR CloverEFI/CloverEFI 64-bits SATA Install RC scripts on target volume Install Clover Preference Pane 7) Place Bootpack (Config.plist, ACPI and Kext Folders) into the CLOVER Folder of the EFI Partition 8) Restart without the USB installer

Follow the post install starting at #5. When running the permission fix and rebuild cache, make sure you have successful output. If not, then run it again. For Wireless, if you have an Intel card, then yes, it'll need to be replaced. No way around it. See here for a list of supported card, like a USB card.

Boot to Clover GUI. Hit F4. Boot into OS X, go to EFI/Clover/ACPI. Compress Origin folder and upload it here. Also in OSX, launch this and save it. Compress and upload it too.

Hard to assist without any system specs... What CPU? What graphics card? Nvidia only or Nvidia with Intel HD? Touchpad, most likely an Alps. Try VoodooPS2Controller found here. Been mentioned a lot lately since 10.11.4 came out. Remove ApplePS2Controller and AppleACPIPS2Nub first. USB port, try renaming all EHCI to EHC1 in your DSDT. You don't have LAN kext in your /extra/extension folder. Most likely you'll need AppleIntelE1000 or BCM5722D added.

HDMI device only appears when you have an HDMI monitor plugged in. Are you able to get HDMI video? Check preferences to see if HDMI audio is listed? What external graphics card do you have?

What kexts did you use to get the M.2 to be recognized? For audio, use AppleHDA_ALC293 from my E7450 guide. The patches are in the Config file set to layoutID #1. Was able to fix the audio distort issue. I was using Clover v3368, once update to v3438, sound is perfect.

diskutil cs list you see something like below. Note the UUID in red and Revertible = Yes run diskutil cs revert UUID> , you can copy and paste the UUID reboot when finish. Boot with USB and select your Installed drive to complete your install

No, Yosemite won't work well with your Broadwell CPU. Restore the vanilla AppleHDA to /S/L/E Grab the new AppleHDA_ALC255 from the Update section. Place it in /L/E. Click Ok on the popup error. Run this in terminal to fix permission and update cache sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E* sudo touch -f /L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U / Make sure you have a successful output. If not, then run last 2 commands again. Reboot

If you're using 10.11.4, make sure to check the Update section for new AppleHDA_ALC255.

Just copy all the files and folder except Config, Kexts, ACPI, and Theme to the EFI partition. Oh make sure in the EFI partition /Clover/Drivers64UEFI, you make a copy of HFSPlus.efi to be place back once you overwrite it. Alternatively, you could remove the virtual disk and never have to deal with this again. 1) From terminal, enter diskutil list. Note the virtual drive. diskutil list /dev/disk0 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *256.1 GB disk0 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_CoreStorage Macintosh SSD 63.5 GB disk0s2 3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3 /dev/disk1 (internal, virtual): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: Apple_HFS Macintosh SSD +63.1 GB disk1 Logical Volume on disk0s2 75DADC16-4B7F-4C7D-9660-10A1C2A9FC02 Unencrypted 2) Run diskutil cs revert /dev/disk1 3) Reboot 4) Install Clover

ig-platform-id is also set to 0x01660004 for dualLink and 0x01660003 for single in DSDT too and also in the Config.plist.

Even for the E6430s, you'll need to restore BIOS to A11 as per the E6430/E6230, otherwise you'll encounter artifacts. Before getting that fix, let's see if you could get it to install first. You mentioned using the E6430 bootpack which has high resolution set to 1600x900. If you have 1366x768, make sure to replace bootpack with E6230 instead.

Try EFI-mounterv3

boot to Clover GUI, hit the spacebar and select boot without cache

Remove VoodooPS2Controller from /Kexts/Other and replace with the one in the Update section if you're on 10.11.4 You could also try booting with CPUS=1

Try this DSDT. I see you rename AppleHDA_ALC255 to AppleHDA. Hope you didn't install this to /S/L/E and override the vanilla kext. If you did, you'll need to restore it and rename the kext in LE to something else or back to AppleHDA_ALC255 and install to /Library/Extensions. Then run the permission fix and rebuild cache. DSDT.aml.zip

Go to preference/Network. Click on Add. Do you see a drop down of Ethernet?

Do you see RealtekRTL8100 in /Kexts/Other?

You should have DSDT, SSDT-8, plus the SSDT you just created. If the SSDT is causing KP, then something is not right. But you should still keep DSDT and SSDT-8

Remove the SSDT and see if it'll boot normally.
