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

Status
Not open for further replies.
I've followed the guide (used Clover in UEFI only mode) step by step, and boot & install went through fine - however, when I try to boot installed system (still using Clover from my USB stick), I get just a black screen after a short period of loading bar (5-10 seconds).

I've checked my graphics settings - memory allocation is set to required 64 MB, so I am kinda lost. What else could cause this issue?

Hello, I havent looked into hackintosh for a long time... But today I got a elitebook g5 830. specs: https://support.hp.com/rs-en/document/c05898590

is this worth looking into dual booting with ubuntu? what I am specifically looking into is having wifi card in promiscious mode so that I can run some macos-only apps....

wifi card: Realtek RTL8822BE
lspci | grep Wireless
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)

Information on compatible WiFi hardware is in post #1.
Please read it.
 
I think yes. This Realtek RTL8822BE seems to be supported via kexts so you can do it

Wrong.
Read post #1 regarding compatible WiFi.

Hello @RehabMan my laptop model does not have an install script (think so), it's a ProBook 6470b that was working wit the old guide (Install 10.11 on HP EliteBook/ProBook/others with Clover UEFI). I provide the requested information, hoping it's complete and just need small tweaks.

Thanks for reading (and replying)!
@RehabMan please help :cry:
there's no install script for my laptop model, hope you can help! :thumbup:
p.s. i attached everything files of "Problem Reporting"

Of course there is. Look:
Code:
NUC6i7KYK:probook.git rehabman$ ./install_acpi.sh help|grep -y 6x70
install_6x70
install_6x70_hires
 
I think that I found a little bug:

I left my ProBook 4540s in sleep state overnight for like 10 hours (with the AC plugged in) and 30 minutes ago when I turned on the laptop it booted from cold state (like shutdown or S5 state better said) and the battery percentage was 0 % (the AC was still plugged in) as soon as I unplugged the AC battery showed 100 % instantly.

The sleep for me is working just fine tested yesterday like for 2 hours and it resumed from sleep just fine. I don't have powernap enabled.

My guess is that: overnight one register or variable in the ACPI or in other place had an overflow and that returned the battery to 0 % that made the system to shutdown because of the 0 % reported by the ACPI.

That's just my IT guy guess.

@RehabMan what is your take ? Did this happened to you ? If I wasn't clear I will try to rewrite the explanation better.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

You can find the debug files attached. Thanks !

You did not follow the guide properly. Note problem shown by kextcache:
Code:
kext file:///Library/Extensions/HSSDBlockStorage.kext/ is in hash exception list, allowing to load
HSSDBlockStorage.kext - dependency 'com.jmicron.driver.JMB38X' not found.
HSSDBlockStorage.kext is missing dependencies (including anyway; dependencies may be available from elsewhere)

Also:
Code:
Kext rejected due to improper filesystem permissions: <OSKext 0x7fe46c4ec580 [0x7fff920d7af0]> { URL = "RtWlanU.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/", ID = "com.realtek.driver.RtWlanU" }

That kext is not properly installed. But furthermore, it should have never been installed anyway, as the guide does not recommend USB WiFi. Read post #1 for recommended WiFi hardware.
