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

[RehabMan]

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

Tnx

Read post #1. Use g4 plist.
Note:

NUC6i7KYK:probook.git rehabman$ ./install_acpi.sh help|grep -y g5
install_4x0g5_kabylake-r

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

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

I have set DVMT-prealloc to 64mb in BIOS
Attached clover files collected with dual gpu enabled, and booting from internal ssh.
Other files collected after booting from installer flash in single gpu (intel).

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

Boot from EFI/Clover on internal SSD. You can drop SSDT-IGPU.aml in order to inject Intel and using invalid ig-platform-id.
Then collect problem reporting files using gen_debug.sh.

Note: APFS+NVMe should be avoided.

Proof link please. I will be grateful.

Booted with dgpu, file attached.

No idea what you're asking/demanding.

I don't understand "Booted with dgpu". What do you mean?
Your ioreg shows the laptop display with VESA drivers (due to 0x5917 not natively supported).

Nvidia enabled as you said to be compliant with this guide.

What do you mean? I can't to complete installation? Which next steps may be?

That's fine.

If you find enabling Nvidia causes boot failure, read here:

Based on the files you provided, you have already installed... correct?

Yes but with low screen resolution and artifacts. I try to play with
ig-platform-id

It is because you dropped SSDT-IGPU.aml. You cannot expect working graphics without it or the equivalent Clover settings.

If you think the DGPU disabling code in the model specific SSDT is not working (could be, after all this is a new model), you should use SSDT-DiscreteSpoof.aml (appropriately coded for _SB.PCI0.RP01.PXSX) for further debugging of the Nvidia disable code (_INI calling _OFF/etc).

Please note you can drop SSDT-IGPU.aml or other SSDTs (as needed) via Clover options. No need to remove it from ACPI/patched.

Note that the ioreg you last attached shows the Nvidia device disabled (and Clover bootlog shows it enabled in BIOS). The results shown in the ioreg support the idea that the code in the model specific SSDT is working as expected to disable the Nvidia.

Note that the guide recommends using my build of Clover. I have not tested the recent changes to Clover in r4411.

It's hard for me now, but model specific SSDT https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProB...blob/master/hotpatch/SSDT-4x0-G4-Kabylake.dsl refers to SSDT-RP01_PXSX_RDSS.asl
Is it correct with my #253 _SB.PCI0.RP01.PXSX.OMPR ?

Thanks for the help I will continue tomorrow!
