Also @RehabMan I installed from an old usb stick with 10.11.1 and after I update and install the drivers. I can't download the el capitan app from my laptop. I've got a friend with a macbook and I will do the USB from scratch on Tuesday and install everything from scratch. If I have any problem I will post it here properly.

Many thanks,

Hello. Everything works except the sound.

You forgot a model specific SSDT. Use install_acpi.sh as per guide.

Hi, After UEFI dual booting with windows. The UEFI defaults to the Windows boot manager. Is there a way to default it to Clover as the boot setttings in the HP bios lack finer controls over boot order.

Elitebook 2570p. Bios firmware:f10?

You can also set a custom entry directly in BIOS if your BIOS offers the option. You should check. Set to \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI.

I can't download the el capitan app from my laptop.

"Purchases" tab in the App Store.

"Purchases" tab in the App Store.

It doesn't download.

It doesn't download.

Make sure you have no copies of it on your system (not in trash, not in a connected backup, not on an external USB, not in /Applications, not in some other folder on your system, etc.). It will only download if it is certain it doesn't exist anywhere.

My laptop have a SmartCard reader builtin.
With the new configurations from your repository, the SC feature disappeared!

In attach is the ioreg with the SmartCard reader enabled.

I see no "SmartCard" reader in this ioreg. If it is connected to USB (just a guess), boot with -uia_ignore_rmcf and attach ioreg.

@RehabMan...
I've searched the site concerning the correct SMBIOS for Broadwell systems and came to my own conclusion that although About This Mac is reporting Mac Pro (Early 2008), my System is reporting as Macbook Air 7,2. I want MBA7,2 for correct operation. So really, the About This Mac is only a cosmetic report and can be left alone or changed to reflect the system profiler report for uniformity without any performance loss during use.

I have included my IOREG so you can take a peek just to confirm or dispute what I'm thinking. I'm researching now how to edit the About This Mac to sync with the system reporting.
