Guys, I wish I had not waited that much time without asking for help because you just made my day. Your combined help and this amazing guide + E6530_NVS package just solved everything on my machine. Video + sound all working perfectly. Thanks a lot. I did numbered screenshots during the whole process, are you interested in having those in a zip or pdf for some other users that may be wondering about some of the steps ? Happy new Hackintosh user.

What I don't understand is why I can run the system by booting from the USB stick Clover (the one used for install) and not from MAc SSD drive Clover. While I copied the EFI folder from stick to Mac drive as per the instructions in the guide. It looks to me that it's always when I set SMBIOS with Clover Configurator that it's starting to fail...

I decided to test changing USB port, and the error gone and I'm back to "missing bluetooth controller transport"... This is driving me crazy

Done I'm back to the AppleUSB20HXCIport error. (See attached) If this relates to USB issue that may have a big impact as I'm booting my system from External USB SSD bay...

Do I just have to copy / replace on the EFI partition after the install in finished ? Do I have to do some extra steps ?

Sorry about the previous post, I realized it may be linked to the fact I had parallel port disabled in BIOS so I enabled it again on PS2 and the error changed. It's now stuck after Missing bluetooth Controller Transport.

Hi, I just finished going through the guide from Jake Lo. I followed it strictly and I got this after reboot. (screenshot attached) From reading other topics I understand this is issue with USB drivers. Issue is I'm not sure to understand how to solve this. Any clue ? Thanks.

Just one question. I reached the step with smbios and I don't want to screw as this is usually where I mess up with my install. What should I pick for that e6430 3720QM ? macbook pro 9,2 ?

Thanks guys. I rerunning Jake Lo's guide with screenshots and will try the bootpack provided above. Depending on how it goes I will update and share the screenshots. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate.

Hi Hervé, thanks for the reply, I will first rebuild a fresh clean El Capitan with Jale Lo's guide and then come back with accurate concrete data on my issues. This KP is only since I retried and install with another guide for Yosemite install. To be honest I'm not sure I understood fully your answer (I'm noob sorry). Regarding optimus, I didn't find in Jake Lo's guide the setting I should set during the install stage. This is not mentionned in BIOS settingsand I encountered various results depending the value of this.

To be honest I'm not sure what is the best way to go from here, this is why I'm asking for some guidance. I can rebuild a hackintosh El Capitan (10.11.6) with Jake Lo's guide or start over with Yosemite and the Pokenguyen's guide and try to fix the KP of the install. Any recommendation is welcome, I'm quite lost...

Hello everybody, I've started trying to build a hackintosh for my dell E6430 (details in my signature) and followed many guides but without success. The best I got thanks to the guide from Jake Lo here is having a mac boot with El Capitan with no Sound and a weird Nvidia chip 4Mo video card (which is the most important part for me as I'm a FCPX user) Despite having tried like more than 50 times installs / builds / tweaks found on various forums / topics, never solved these issues... I always tried to follow strictly the guides first, analyze the deviation between my results and the expected ones before starting to mess with the configs. I decided to move to this guide : https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6372-dell-latitude-5x30-6x30-clover-install-guide/from Pokenguyen as he was mentioning a special config for Optimus which made me think "yeaaah that's going to solve my video card issues). So I followed strictly the guide to install with Yosemite, built my USB stick installer, got Clover to launch on boot, selected "install Yosemite" and then seen an apple logo with no loading bar. I rebooted, added -v parameter to get some info on this and noticed a Kernel Panic : com.apple.appleintelCPUpowermanagement. Screenshot below will maybe reveal something I missed... Well I'm out of my depth here, I've exhausted all my ideas and my knowledge is not good enough to know what to do without asking for help more experienced users... I don't understand how people who seem to have the same hardware as me got past where I'm stuck. The guide doesn't specify anything on some additional BIOS options such as : - Video Optimus : Enabled / disables - Virtualization options to enable / disable (even if dart=1 in Clover boot args it seems to have some impacts on some installers) And I'm wondering if it may have an impact... Well if you can help me, that would be great. I've been spending the whole past week trying without success... PS : I'm also wondering about SMBIOS items I should select as I screwed some of my installs trying Mac models, not too sure if I should select 9,2 as I found on some topics. Thanks in advance.
