Hello, first of all I'm sorry if this kind of thread is not allowed but I'd like to keep a thread of discussion about El Capitan install on the Dell Latitude E6500. If it's not allowed, please lock/delete this thread. OK, let's get to the point. I have managed to boot the installer just fine, however I am not able to proceed with the installer as the installer only shows "Reinstall OS X" and not "Install OS X". As such, this has caused me to not be able to install the OS due to some "eligibility checking" mechanism. I never had this issue when installing Yosemite months ago. Has anyone ran into this problem? How do I fix this? Is it related to the installer that I used or did I do something wrong while making the installer? Thanks a lot and if you have any tips and pointers or anything to discuss about El Capitan for the E6500 please do so here. --- From here on, I will update my progress in this section. 20170319 1950 -- Installer now shows "Install OS X" instead of "Reinstall OS X" after following another guide to setup the USB installer. I will now proceed to with the installation. 20170319 2013 -- Still at "a second remaining". 20170319 2131 -- Finished with everything, including bootloader installation. El Capitan is buttery smooth. It's amazing.

First a very big thx to osxlatitude! Without them, none of these could be done! This installation of El Capitan 10.11.6 is based on Clover (EFI). I have downloaded the bootpack for D630 from EDP, still the USB were not working at all. After patching the DSDT the Bluetooth stopped working. Now two of the USB ports are working and bluetooth as well. The only thing that is missing, is to make the other two USB ports work. Here I will need your DSDT patching experience / skills The Dockingstation works very good even with Hot Plug (in & out) while the system is running. >>Hardware<< CPU: 1,99 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo RAM: 2GB GPU: nVidia Quadro NVS 135M 128MB LAN: Gigabit Sound: Sigmatel 9505 Bluetooth: 2.0 WLAN: Atheros AR5B91 >>What Works<< GPU: Clover Injection LAN: BCM5722D Bluetooth: DSDT-Patch USB-Ports: DSDT-Patch ( right side: upper | back side: left ) Battery: ACPIBatteryManager.kext Keyboard+Touchpad: AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext & ApplePS2Controller.kext Audio: VoodooHDA ( still the noise here is a bit strange sometimes ) Dockingstation: all 3 USB on the back works Dockingstation: DVI Connector on the back works Dockingstation: LAN Port on the back works Sleep: works ( closing the LID ) >>What Doesn't Work<< USB-Ports: right side: lower | back side: right ( perhaps you can help me here with a DSDT path ) Other Features and Components I have not tested! >>Attachments<< config.plist ( MacBookPro5,1 ) DSDT.aml ( no need for USB-Injection / USB-Fix ) D630-HwInfo.html ( Hardware Information of my machine ) Dockingstation with DVI: USB on the Laptop: USB on the Dockingstation: Bluetooth working + LAN-Dokingstation working: D630-HwInfo.htm config.plist.zip DSDT.aml.zip

Hello. I successfully installed macOS and all WiFi and Bluetooth drivers. Bluetooth is working but the Settings tell me that I can't use Handoff / Instant Hotspot e.t.c...

I have this Wifi Card: DW1560 BCM94352Z I have this Wifi Chip: Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x19) Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (7.21.94.136.1a1) I have this bluetooth chip : Manufacturer: Broadcom Transport: USB Chipset: 20702A3 Firmware Version: v14 c5668

Okay, recently I updates from macOS 10.11 to 10.11.5 and now theres no Audio Devices anymore. How can I fix this?

Here it goes. I upgraded Yosemite to El Capitan GM. I replaced EHCI with EHC1 in DSDT.aml as I read, but still no USB. Any thoughts?
