[RehabMan]

Thank you for your answer, my hp is 430 G2

• Processor - Intel Core i5 (5th Gen) 5200U / 2.2 GHz ( 2.7 GHz ) / 3 MB Cache

What kind of SMBIOS is best to use with this probook?
Thank you.

MacBookAir7,x or MacBookPro12,x (x=1 or 2?). See everymac.com for Mac specs.

You need to create a custom SMBIOS with unique serial#, etc.

Hi Rehabman, same problem with Probook G2 450 - Intel Core i7 5500U / 2.4 GHz. When i look SMBIOS section in Clover Configurator, can find only: MacBookAir 5,2 and MacBookAir 6,2 or MacBookPro 11,2. No Broadwell models. What should i set for my configuration? Thanks.

You have to do it manually. Use google to find the data. Or refer to PBI source code (the script that generates config.plist).

Please can you give me more details about the procedure or what to find in Google? This is the first time i use your guide and i'm very unexpert. Thanks.

You can read about config.plist/SMBIOS in the Clover wiki. This is something you should be aware of anyway.

And for new models, it takes a long time before they are added to Clover Configurator, but if you google, you will find the information you need on serial#, board-id, etc.

That said, you probably don't need to do it. A Haswell SMBIOS will probably work just fine...

In effect, all works fine till now, except for USB ports (4 ports, none works). I will post you all the files for Problem reporting.

See "USB customization".

Use Clover Configurator as detailed in post #1.
