Trying to do a Hackbook on a Dell Latitude E5430.
Can't seem to get it working.
I have tried different USB ports with different results.
I have tried with UEFI and Legacy, both Clover.

I get this screen with UEFI. I don't know what it means, or what I'm supposed to do.
It will attempt to load for a bit, and then it ends up reaching this screen.
If I'm supposed to use bootflags, I don't know which ones to use.
I do not have a DSDT. I don't know how to get/make a DSDT.

For Legacy, it just hits a blank screen, and sits there.

For Legacy, if I use GraphicsEnabler=No, it gives the same screen below.

Using an external monitor connected to HDMI has helped. It shows something on the monitor, but it's garbled. I can see a loading bar move. It only displays on the upper half of the monitor. It doesn't use the bottom half.

I've done Hack-desktops, but not laptops.

These are just the stock EFI's from UniBeast for both UEFI, and legacy. It's nothing fancy.
unibeast is for desktops

try an old version of clover:

The newer version of UniBeast I was using, does use Clover. Do you mean to use Clover only?
