[Guide] HP Elite 8300 & 6300 Pro (all form factors) using Clover UEFI hotpatch

Forgive me, but in the guide it says: Into EFI/Clover/Drivers/UEFI, make sure to add VirtualSMC.efi (included in the downloaded zip of VirtualSMC).

My bad then, you will have to wait for @Sniki to respond to that one.

I found it in VirtualSMC-1.0.9-RELEASE
in the next versions the folder called Drivers is lost.

Catalina installation on Clover is currently not supported.
See the post below and try it with OpenCore 0.6.3.

Hello all! I'm running OC Catalina for many months now. More recently, I started getting occasional crash/restarts. Totally out of the blue. Any help anyone might offer?

Do you have the following example in your kernel log?

2022-11-29 23:04:11.701027+0900 localhost kernel[0]: (AppleGraphicsPowerManagement) [AGPM][ERROR][DEFAULT ][getNVVendorInfo ] GPU = GFX0 err 0xe00002c7 from getNSensorData

I don't see anything like that in the kernel log. I don't know if there's sensitive/secure info on there to copy/paste the whole log, but I could do that...

I'm having an issue with AGPI not working with my current Catalina.
I don't know why your CPU02 is abnormal, but please change to SMBIOS = MacPro6,1 and check the operation.

OK, thanks I'll try MacPro6,1

One other thing that's been annoying that I'm wondering if its a possible clue, is that my mouse often takes several seconds longer than my keyboard to wake up from sleep. This also started randomly several months into my Catalina install.

Is sleep the power button?
I'm currently tuning Catalina, so I'll try it later.

Sorry not sure I understand. Sleep is just the computer going to sleep after not being used, or if I put it to sleep via Apple menu.
