Hi, I have a Dell XPS 9530 which I am trying to install Mavericks on. The main laptop specifications are: Intel i7 4712-HQ processor Intel Lynx Point HM87 3200x1800 Synaptics Touchscreen Intel Graphics 4600 HD Nvidia GT-750M dedicated graphics RealTek ALC (HWID 10EC 0668) Intel AC-7260 (M.2 NGFF form factor) Now I know that the Intel wifi card is unsupported in OS X, but I have a Realtek Wifi USB stick which works. So far I have been following the guide for the Dell Inspiron 3x37-5x37-7x37 Clover Installation. I followed the instructions all the way up to the completion of the installation of Mavericks. The only change I had to make was in the Clover configuration, otherwise on bootup the GUI would not show. I fixed this by updating the ig-platform-id to "0x04160002" (Note that "0x0A260008" also works, all others keep hanging at the verbose boot log, except 0x0D220003 which shows a garbled screen). Mavericks loads up fine in native 3200x1800 resolution, but obviously there is no QI/CE for graphics and the sound is not working. Subsequently I patched the DSDT as well as I could (since its slightly different from the guide). However then applying the patched DSDT with Clover, the bootup sequence again hangs just before entering the GUI. Here are the log files from a successful boot without patched DSDT: kernel (dmesg) log ioreg dump kextstat dump Clover UEFI configuration: config.plist (with SMBIOS of MacBookPro11,3) kexts (Kexts used in Clover EFI partition) DSDT: Clover Dump Decompiled (Untouched) Decompiled (Patched) Compiled (Patched) I am hoping pokenguyen or another knowledgable user can help me further here. If it can be made working I will make a guide as it would be of interest to other XPS 9530 owners also. If any additional information is required, please let me know and I will provide it asap. -darkvoid
