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

[black.dragon74]

Figured out the problem.

Builds of Clover r4373 and later omit OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi and the Clover installer will delete it from drivers64UEFI.
OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi is required to boot Snow Leopard and/or Lion.
This is nicely buried in an unrelated commit by slice with poor/cryptic/unrelated comment "Book may have desktop CPU".
I will revert this change in my build of Clover...

Great!!!

New build of RehabMan Clover with AptioMemoryFix.efi synced with Clover svn 4398 is now on bitbucket.

You will find an HD630 plist in the repo. Read post #1.

Hey, sorry for the double posting but I have the following computer :

HP Probook 450 G3 with Intel Core i7 6500u (Skylake) / 8 gb RAM/ Intel Graphics 520 And AMD Radeon M340 inside

I tried with clover to install Mac OS by myself but all I can have is some kind of Kernel Panic ("panic (cpu 0 caller ...)

What should I do to make the installation working?

Hi,
I need some help please...
I follow this Guide and I got really exited because I saw a lot of things happening but... I got stuck in "Window Server Service only ran for 0 seconds" so I follow this Guide to try to fix it,
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-only-ran-for-0-seconds-with-dual-gpu.233092/
but I don't know what I did... I thought SSDT-DiscreteSpoof.aml and chaning the confing.plist would fix it but now I get stuck earlier.. the only thing I'll see is nothing more.

"AptioMemoryFix(R7): Starting \.IABootFiles\boo.efi
Hibernate wake:no

Thank's for your help

Your config.plist is not one of those linked by post #1.
A newer AptioMemoryFix.efi is attached to post #1 and also an even more recent AptioMemoryFix.efi is in my fork of Clover (my fork of Clover is recommended by post #1).
And if AptioMemoryFix.efi is not working, you should try OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi.
Your SSDT-DiscreteSpoof.aml is not coded correctly.
This:

    Method (_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP, 4, NotSerialized)

Should be:

    Method (_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._DSM, 4, NotSerialized)

I've changed the config.plist file for one that you linked by post #1 I red all the instructions but to be honest I didn't fully understood which one to use... after reading what you said:

If your screen is 1600x900 (or greater) use one of the 1600x900 config files.

Common ig-platform-ids:
0x01660003: HD4000 1366x768
0x01660004: HD4000 1600x900, 1920x1080
0x01660008, 0x01660009: HD4000 1600x900, 1920x1080

I chose that config.plist, but I don't know if I'm still missing something else because now I don't see anything just a black screen. I also change the SSDT-DiscreteSpoof.aml and try using your new AptioMemoryFix.efi and even try OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi but I still don't have any luck.

Thanks dude your are awesome!

Primary selection criteria for config.plist is graphics device, not screen resolution.
You should not attempt to use an Ivy Bridge plist with your Skylake hardware.
