I have successfully installed El Capitan on a Lenovo e550 except.... One sound doesn't work and it won't boot into close. Followed the instructions from:


hackintosh-el-capitan-lenovo-thinkpad-e550-haswell-10-11-guide

With sound..... Well I'm clueless what to beyond the instructions and what they say to do and troubleshoot.

With Clover I get attached at at boot up. See attached screen shot...

I have also tried using MultiBeast to reinstall clover besides following the instructions in the above URL. Help....

The way I boot to use the computer is boot to clover in on the USB and then choose to boot to the internal hard drive. I don't want to have to keep the USB attached and use its clover to boot to the hard drvie. I want to be able to install and use clover from the hard vie itself. Can one help?

Added my profile. Thanks... Any one can help?
 
Some progress sort of....

I went to my bios. They were set to UEFI Both & CSM Yes. I changed it to UEFI Only and no CSM. It then went to Clover on hard drive finally. Yippee!

So I selected from clover to start from the hard drive. Then it hung with the Apple with no meter showing it booting.... Argh....

I rebooted in verbose and got the following screen....

What does it mean? What do I now?

The same thing happened with UEFI Only and yes CSM except the those + signs were toward the top of screen. So, on the one hand, changing the setting got me to clover, but it won't boot.

In the meantime, the booting from clover on the USB only worked when the bios was set to EFI Both and CSM yes.

Can you help?

I reformatted and started fresh. I get the following error. IT hangs at this , and then reboots. It happens with bios set to EFI only and whether I set SMC yes or no. I followed the guide for installing to laptops that has been cited here. Help.
