[Guide] HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook using Clover UEFI hotpatch

[falko.lab]

Your ACPI/patched content is wrong. Use install_acpi.sh as per guide.
Also, the config.plist used for installation is different from the one used for "final".
You should not mix "final" ACPI/patched with pre-install config.plist.

The files you provided prove otherwise.

I carefully read everything again and again. Also pre-cleaned everything in EFI partition.
Now I got boot loop
UHD620 only in BIOS.

May be this one?

If you want to also disable it in Windows (via BIOS option), make sure you read about the DGPU option in your model specific SSDT (source is in SSDT-HACK.dsl), as in the scenario where the DGPU is disabled by BIOS, DGPU should be set to zero.

But I can't understand this part: DGPU should be set to zero.

Thanks but I don't have a problem.

You seem to imply otherwise.

Maybe you forgot to set DVMT-prealloc to 64mb in BIOS.

Agree, this has to work. I recommend you going with Windows first and update the subsystems. Run the HP system helper software. There is a BIOS as well as the USB firmware update available. I bet there are many things they're straightening out.

They're working in Windows quite alright.

Windows has nothing to do with this thread/forum (and pretty much not this website).
This thread is for HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook running macOS or OS X.

BIOS settings

To start, set BIOS to defaults.
...
- IGPU graphics memory set to 64mb (Broadwell and Skylake)

Ok I did but have kaby lake-R.

Since most laptops come with inadequate DVMT-prealloc, all the plists linked by this guide have a patch for 32MB DVMT-prealloc, enabled by default. You can read about how that patch works here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...lensize-patch-with-32mb-dvmt-prealloc.221506/

In my case 32MB by default. I will study this issue later.

Previevs boot loop solved but now I came back to loop around of:

IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0

Does not matter enabled DGPU or not.

Maybe I need work around:

This is covered in the guide via this link:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-only-ran-for-0-seconds-with-dual-gpu.233092/

and

Note: If you have a laptop with switchable graphics, leave it enabled. You can still use it on Windows, although the discrete card will be disabled when running OS X by the ACPI patches provided here. If you want to also disable it in Windows (via BIOS option), make sure you read about the DGPU option in your model specific SSDT (source is in SSDT-HACK.dsl), as in the scenario where the DGPU is disabled by BIOS, DGPU should be set to zero.

For an example of "known working" ProBook 450 G4 (Kaby Lake) settings, see here:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...i-hotpatch-10-11.189416/page-623#post-1489904

But it disabled now. Can you fix last link? I can't understand: DGPU should be set to zero.

For this guide, you must set it to 64mb.

IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0

Maybe I need work around:

Applies only if dual-GPU is enabled.

DGPU should be set to zero.

Look at your model specific SSDT.

No changes, same as in my previous post https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...er-uefi-hotpatch.232948/page-161#post-1695109

I prefer to configure with dual gpu and disabled DGPU in clover. Does the latter error refers directly on my dual GPU?

Reply already provided in post #1608 and #1612 (must set DVMT-prealloc correctly)
(and you forgot to press F4 and F2)

This is already done in the model specific SSDT.

Hi all,
I bought a probook 430 g5.
Is there any installation guide for this notebook ?

Tnx
