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

[Feartech]

That's why I asked. Because, all things are new to me, it may also not be mentioned because the guide is about "boot osx with clover in laptops" not "install and manage osx in laptops".

Thanks

@RehabMan, I follow this guide, and create usb installer, install Mojave, but failed in last setp, "9. If everything goes well, you will finish up the installation process and arrive at the OS X desktop.", I can not arrive at the OS X desktop, before enter the desktop, my computer restarted, I tried many times, still can not arrive at the OS X desktop。 I do not meet any error before step 9.

What is the state of the art re FileVault 2 with the hotpatch install? Clover now includes drivers for UEFI-booting with FileVault 2, but none with a name indicating PS/2.

Can I dump some lines on the sample config.plist files you provide o should I better use Xcode to do it? Which is the way to use it? I opened the file in Xcode but I am not sure what to do in order to disable or remove the patch.

Background info here:

[Guide] Alternative to the minStolenSize patch with 32mb DVMT-prealloc

Overview A common problem with Broadwell/Skylake/KabyLake is relatively small DVMT-prealloc setting by PC OEMs. The Apple framebuffer kexts generally assume 64mb or larger, and most PC OEMs use only 32mb. And often, there is no way to change it easily due to limited BIOS, locked down BIOS...

@RehabMan Nice guide sir, for new people like me.
I am gonna install HS on my laptop by following this.

MY QUESTION : If I follow this guide, I will not have to use MultiBeast, right?
Correct me if I am wrong. I am doing this for first time, so help needed...

Typically, there is not much in Multibeast that applies to laptops.
