[Guide] HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook using Clover UEFI hotpatch (10.11)

[the_chiefgeek]

I am having some strange reboot problems trying to get the installation completed. First attempt I got the install done and started working on post install steps and system rebooted (I think I did some stuff out of order, so I started over).

Now I can get past second phase of install.

Edit: Forgot to attach clover folder

Hi Rehabman. Here are the files i was regarding yesterday. Something else id like to ask. Have you updated to BIOS F61 yet? HP as released a new BIOS update.

Hi VoiletDragon,
All my attempts to update BIOS (currently F09) on a 4730s fails with the screen below...
I already asked for assistance in this thread (here, here and there), but I haven't received any response so far.
I thought maybe you could explain me how you managed to update?
Thank you.

Your profile is not filled out as requested in the FAQ (no laptop indicated). Please fix before your next reply.

And in the event of a problem, provide files as requested in "Problem Reporting" (only EFI/Clover if you can't boot). If you follow the instructions as written, it will be much smaller than 37mb.

Likely problem with HDMI audio.
Comment out the "hda-gfx" from repo SSDT-IGPU.dsl, then test. Reply with "Problem Reporting" files.
We may need to do some work with FakePCIID for HDMI audio.

Your HDA chip is 8086:9d71. So far, we have only seen 9d70 and a170. We could spoof your 9d71 as either of those. But first we need to verify that it is HDMI audio causing the problem with HDMI (hence the test without "hda-gfx" inject).

Hmm, not sure how that file got to be 37mb, created it again and it was only 1.8mb.

This ls laptop #0 (added missing details to signature - i hope), second phase of installation (when you reboot with clover-usb, boot hdd, and continue installation ) is currently hanging for me. Screen shot of the last thing I see before screen garbles.

this is 10.12 installer if that isn't clear

I don't think this is using the repo SSDT-IGPU. Use the one from the repo, but with the "hda-gfx" commented out.
The diff looks like this:

             },

If HDMI video works with that single change, then we know it is an HDMI audio problem causing the crash and can continue to pursue it. But the SSDT-IGPU.aml you have in ACPI/patched is not the same as what I propose here, so I want to verify this single (two character) change first.

Maybe BIOS is set incorrectly... Make sure enabled CSM as per post #1.
Depends partly on what you mean by "screen garbles". No photo depicting it is attached...
