Hello there, Second time trying to build a hackintosh since I tried once around 3 years ago?! Not sure, but it was Acer Aspire 7542g or something, can't remember accurately. I remember it worked back then quite good as in the successful birth has happend, so I've got a spare Dell laptop now. I'm currently long user of an MBA and I'd like to try to get something out of that Dell laptop. By following the resources given here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-el-capitan-clover-guide/by Jake (thanks dude!), I've managed to create USB Clover-based bootable device with latest version of OS X El Capitan downloaded from the AppStore. Configuration: Inspiron 3542 4th Gen Dual Core Celeron 2957U 1.4GHz 4GB RAM DDR3 500GB HDD Intel HD Graphics (Haswell) Problem: When I boot into clover, and select to boot my disk (Install OS X El Capitan), the black screen with Apple logo appears and then restarts. Just tried: Boot with safemode on (Resets) Boot with single user mode (Resets) Boot with verbose output (Show a lot of pluses like +++++..; and the resets, no error shown prior) Combined above boot flags (Resets) Use different USB ports A few more details. Since I saw similar hardware on thread located here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9377-inspiron-3542-el-captain-installation/; i used bootpack E7440 also suggested by Jake with necessary updates written there. ​ My USB root looks like this: And this is my HACK folder (tools + necessary EFI and such).
