Guide To Install Yosemite on HP Laptops with Clover UEFI

RehabMan said:
It seems that the Inject/Intel=true at post-install is ok. Just not for install (need SSDT to inject snb-platform-id and Inject/Intel=false).

Note: It is a bit strange to have Graphics/ig-platform-id=0x166003 for HD3000...

I had some difficulty with the whole F4 thing. But I use a custom EFI USB setup for installing... I use the OEM directory to have a single USB to install on multiple machines, so F4 put the files in "EFI/Clover/OEM/HP ProBook 4530s/ACPI/origin". Realizing this after running the ProBook Installer, I copied the files to EFI/Clover/ACPI/origin and re-ran PBI-CE. Still had an error, I think because now the EFI partition on the HDD was mounted (and there are no files there). So, I copied the files to the HDD EFI partition at EFI/Clover/ACPI/origin and then the DSDT patcher in PBI-CE worked. Seems like the PBI doesn't quite know where to go looking for the ACPI/origin files.

If possible, you might want to code in an alternative extraction technique that uses 'patchmatic -extract'. This will also help those that forget to press F4. Even I did that first time.

Other notes:

- You might want to mention the need to visit SysPrefs->Security & Privacy before running PBI-CE

- Hibernatemode was set to 0, but the large sleepimage file at /var/vm/sleepimage was still there

- I guess EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi isn't strictly necessary anymore?

- Will probably disable the VGA patch and create a patch that only fixes HDMI-audio (not a fan of the VGA patch)

- My 4530s will not boot OS X via Clover from the USB port at the front right side. The other three ports are ok. The symptom of this problem was that it would hang just after "UUID is.." line before the '+++++++'. Lesson there: if you hang before the '+++++', try a different USB port.

- My first attempt at createinstallmedia failed due to too new of a USB, or too large, or that it was a USB3 stick. It reported a corrupt install at the end of phase1. I recreated the stick on an older USB2 stick (8GB) and then the OS X installer worked fine.

- A cache rebuild is definitely required for Ethernet and audio. I just used 'sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions' and did a reboot.

I never visited SysPrefs->Security & Privacy before running PBI-CE. What is the difference?

Thanks!

This way it works. Both speedstep and USB ports. Thanks!
I still don't understand why the installer choose 9,2 SMBIOS. I suppose more people with 4x40 have the same issue. Isn't it?

Is it a problem if I edit the clover config file using a text editor directly on the EFI partition?

Why don't you use Clover Configurator?

I don't think you have enough info for a correct SMBIOS.

I'm sorry but I don't know what you mean exactly. I used your Clover Installer then selected everything for 4540s. Maybe it is because I have a SandyBridge CPU in a 7-series motherboard and I have to use MacBookPro8,1 definitions?

Your time is appreciated.

And many thanks for RehabMan for keeping that USB kext updated.

no luck for me..i tried all the combinations using hd3000 1366x768 config.plist + ACPI/patched mini ssdt/none + (graphics/intel/false&true) on my Probook 4230s, i3 2310m, 12 inch, 1280x800(HD3000 only) res but im stuck on spinning wheel..can some one gave me a config plist for their Probook 4230s..its like probook 4530s but a smaller 12 inch version. i think my hd3000 config seems to be a problem...the usb installer passed the logo and bar progress but it will stuck on mouse pointer then spinning wheel, is there any flags ill put before entering the installer?

I mean when you edit smbios by text edit.

Unfortunately, You have to use MacBookPro 9,2 to get USB work.

If you do that with a Sandy CPU, you should generate an SSDT with no PluginType injection (and no funny Ivy workarounds).

I'm not sure what the PBI/ssdtPRgen.sh is doing in this instance, so I thought I should mention it.

You probably did an upgrade, where the setting (apps from everywhere) was already changed by you in a previous installation.
