Thought I'd report back. After posting the my DSDT earlier, I ended up using the attached config.plist and everything booted to the installer! I'll continue w/ the El Capitan install after I backup my current Yosemite setup. Best program to use to backup is Carbon Copy Cloner onto a USB stick right? config.plist.zip

Thanks. Attached is the DSDT that I'm using And I have the following kext already in my USB installer /EFI/CLOVER/Kexts/Other/USBInjectAll.kext DSDT.aml.zip

Thanks for all the help. Still can't get it to work. It really seems like a USB issue. I can make out a "still waiting for root device" in the garbled screen. I'll read about USB and 10.11 and report back if I find a solution. Since it's a USB issue, I can probably upgrade my Yosemite install to El Capitan, but the USB won't work right?

thanks again. I tried all 4 of my usb2.0 ports. all were a no go.

Thanks again again for your help with this. It unfortunately did not make it through to the installer again. I attached two screenshots. The one before the garbled screen and the actual garbled screen.

Different error message this time w/ the new config... "AirPort_Ath****" was added before the usual Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport error. See attached screen shot. I also forgot to say this earlier, but when I installed Yosemite, I also got the Missing Bluetooth error, but the install kept going. For El Capitan, after receiving the Bluetooth error, I get the "crossed out" sign and garbled text. I don't know if it's an El Capitan installer issue because I used the same installer to update my 'real' iMac to El Capitan a few months ago.

Also. FYI. I was able to use the same EFI partition to install Yosemite.

Revision A14.

Yes. I did that.

Thanks for the bootpack. I appreciate all the help you are giving me. I still could not get it to work for El Capitan. I've attached a screenshot and a zip of my EFI->Clover folder. CLOVER.zip

Thanks for all your help Jake Lo. It still failed. So I'm attaching the /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Origin folder for you. origin.zip

It took about 40s after selecting the boot option in clover. And yes, I did use your config file from post #2. I attached an updated screenshot. FYI. I did not use your bootpack because I could not get Clover to boot.

FYI. I also just tried putting back in and added HFSPlus-64.efi in drivers64UEFI and still received the same error as above <key>DisableDrivers</key> <array> <string>VBoxHfs</string> </array>

I did the what you said above. Still no-go. Please see the attached screenshot. I also attached my clover directory. I used the config.plist you sent except I deleted <key>DisableDrivers</key> <array> <string>VBoxHfs</string> </array> If I left that in the config.plist, the Clover Boot Manager did not give me the option to "Install El Capitan". I also booted without caches CLOVER.zip

Thanks. I'll take a look. I'm currently not using a dtst on my usb. Ill test out your bootpack and UEFI This gudie, right? I'll try it. I used the one line command to create the installer. Is there any difference in results between the two methods? https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-el-capitan-clover-guide/
