[Guide] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover

are you using Rehabman's version of clover? as that should be fine for El Capitan

also try experimenting using one of these, 1 at a time (never together):
OsxAptioFixDrv, OsxAptioFix2Drv, OsxAptioFix3Drv or AptioMemoryFix.efi

It's the rehabman one I'm using. Ok, I'll give them a go. If you got link hand to where I grab them? What folder should they go into ?

I've had some success in that i have got further along the booting system byusing OsxAptioFixDrv . I am still only getting half way through the booting system before crashing. Here's a video link of my verbose Screen.

Can anyone advise a best next step? It feels like I'm almost over the line ..

Use clover boot menu and cursor to go to Options tab, hit enter. Then go to binaries and see what the device ID is for the CPU. Try CPUID 0x0206A0.

IF it moves further but gets stuck at graphics try the same then go to Graphics settings and set ig platform 0x01000000.

Below are the device IDs for Sandy bridge and HD3000 graphics these would go in the graphics device ID one at a time for testing.
HD3000 device IDs
0x01068086 0x06018086 0x01168086 0x01028086 0x01268086

Sandy Bridge FB
0x01068086 0x11068086 0x16018086 01168086 01268086

Ok here is my screen. I can see my CPUID. Is the fake CPUID supposed to match this? What should I do with the information in front of me ?

Tries changing CPUID to 0x0206A0 . Still can't get past this part. Do I keep trying different CPUID's , where can I find a list of other ones to try ?

Any other ideas anyone? I think I'm sort of on the right track on which I've found where the issue is ...

Is it even possible that my CPU is damaged? Because I'm also 100% sure that the 4530s CPU is completely compatible. I did have OSX running before on Mavericks without an issue on this machine.
 
Update.

I got past this issue by opening my plist (using plist edit pro) and renaming DropTables->##DropTables and renaming #DropTables->DropTables as mentioned in the earlier part of the guide (copy and pasted below)


Note regarding CPU power management and SSDTs

If you're getting a panic in AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and/or SMC_ACPI_PlatformPlugin it may be related to your OEM CPU power management related SSDTs.

Some systems may need to drop some of the OEM SSDTs. This happens most frequently with Sandy Bridge systems (but not all). There are two configurations for DropTables in the provided config.plist files. The default is minimal. The alternate is named #DropTables and is a bit more aggressive. Each configuration resides in config.plist/ACPI. You can use the alternate by renaming DropTables->##DropTables and renaming #DropTables->DropTables (in that order). Depending on how the OEM labels the tables, this may or may not work. If you still have issues, set config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/DropOem=true. You will need to set config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/Generate=true (or the individual CStates/PStates=true) to use DropOem=true or the alternate DropTables.

Always use a plist editor (such as Xcode or PlistEdit Pro) to edit config.plist.
