[Guide] Dell Inspiron 15 7559 (Skylake, i7-6700HQ, Intel HD 530) Using Clover

[geboe]

First you should be extracting with Clover F4, not patchmatic.
Second, you need to disassemble correctly and with refs.txt.

I disassembled your files (per guide): iasl -da -dl -fe refs.txt DSDT.aml SSDT*.aml

Then I opened the resulting DSDT.dsl. No errors.

It is all very clear in the guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.152573/

I used patchmatic because clover F4 doesn't do anything for me. It worked one time, then I deleted the acpi folder in clover. Then I rebooted and pressed f4. There was no acpi folder somehow... Don't understand why? What is wrong with patchmatic anyway?

The ACPI/origin folder must exist in order for Clover F4 to work. The Clover/ACPI/origin folder is created by the Clover installer. You should not delete those directories.

Using patchmatic is not guranteed to provide native ACPI as the files it extracts can be affected by patching that Clover is doing.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the info.

Which one ís the best?

EDIT: I just got the installer to boot! I'm so happy... The problem was in the HDD. I guess I'll just have to do a clean install... Thanks for the help RehabMan!

I disconneted the hdd but still no luck, i even took ram out and put it in the other slot. i don't get what the problem might be. can you post your bios settings?

Will post bios settings. Did you boot without the battery charger attached?

I'm having issues after completing the guide. After patching my ssdt etc and rebooting, my brightness adjustment and such works, but my ethernet isn't working anymore... I still don't have sound as well. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Did you install Ethernet kexts? Did you install the audio kexts, patch ACPI correctly, and rebuild cache as required?

Does the cache rebuilding happen automatically with kextbeast?

AppleHDA_ALC256.kext is an AppleHDA injector (dummyHDA). Requires very specific cache rebuild procedures.

It is covered in the FAQ: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/

My ethernet is also not working (anymore, it used to work until I started working with the dsdts). Also, scrolling on touchpad doesn't work, and USB 3.0 doesn't work...
