Thanks again!

I copied the entire e6230 folder into the clover folder, not just its contents. After that I got another kernel panic. Something about zone_init suballoc failed.

Turns out my memory bank A was empty. Only B had a ram chip in it.

Switched banks and now it boots! So happy!

I downloaded ElCap again and rebuild the installer using jake's method. It all went well, but the installer won't boot. I get a kernel panic when loading the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement driver/kext.

I tried replacing it with a patched one, but that didn't work.

What would be the best way to fix this???

Thanks for the tips!!!

Thanks!
Which install do you recommend? will Clover work 'out of the box' or do i need some special settings/kexts for the dell e6230? (You said 'relatively', did you run into problems?)

Reason I ask this is that I get a kernel panic when i try to run the installer (jake's guide) upon boot.:

...kmem_suballoc failed"@/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/xnu/xnu-...

Booting with -v -x -f flags did not help, so maybe you ran into this as well (?)

Ok, thanks!

I currently have 10.9.5 

so to summarize:

If I want to upgrade to 10.10, I need to backup, build a new USB installer with 10.0 and then install it on my laptop? 

Hi,

Last year I installed Yosemite on my E6230. It was fun to do, but it took a lot of time to get everything working. 

Is there a way to upgrade my current installation to Mavericks or even El Capitain? If so, is there a way to do that without starting from scratch?
