Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Pay attention the Skylake info in the FAQ. It is important.

Note: There is not a good solution for NVMe at this point. Installing an M.2 AHCI SSD is a better option.

oh.. there is no space for a m.2 ssd .
Is it means there is no "graceful" way to port 10.11.4 to xps9550 currently?
thank you .

Some of these Skylake laptops are coming with dual M.2 (one for WiFi, one for SSD).
But I guess not yours...

Until there is a finished NVMe driver, using NVMe is going to be tough going...

Keep in mind it is early for Skylake (and NVMe). There are currently no Apple laptops that use either.

After following your clover installation guide carefully, I build the clover usb efi installer with osx 10.11.4 successfully.
but I cannot go into osx installer .
It stuck at

bpfAttach len 64 dlt 12



or sometimes no have above line


I google about the errors , some guys said it caused by graphics card problems and could change the boot args to go through. but I try all about them , but still have no luck .


dart=0 IGPEnabler=No GraphicsEnabler=No nvda_drv=1 -f -v

dart=0 PCIRootUID=1 IGPEnabler=No GraphicsEnabler=No nvda_drv=1 -f -v

my EFI settings is attached below.

thank you for your help.

You neglected to fill out your profile as requested in the guide.

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

Mobo: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
Mobo: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Note: When specifying your bootloader, if using Clover legacy, please be sure to specify "Clover legacy"). Specifying "Clover" will be assumed as "Clover UEFI"

sorry about that.
I update profile with my current laptop infomation right now.

Keep in mind that the UHD screen will require IOKit to be patched. It is in the FAQ.
