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

[sliddjur]

Hello, I havent looked into hackintosh for a long time... But today I got a elitebook g5 830. specs: https://support.hp.com/rs-en/document/c05898590

is this worth looking into dual booting with ubuntu? what I am specifically looking into is having wifi card in promiscious mode so that I can run some macos-only apps....

wifi card: Realtek RTL8822BE
lspci | grep Wireless
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)

I've followed the guide (used Clover in UEFI only mode) step by step, and boot & install went through fine - however, when I try to boot installed system (still using Clover from my USB stick), I get just a black screen after a short period of loading bar (5-10 seconds).

I've checked my graphics settings - memory allocation is set to required 64 MB, so I am kinda lost. What else could cause this issue?

I think yes. This Realtek RTL8822BE seems to be supported via kexts so you can do it

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

My bad - here's my Clover folder together with preboot.log and photo of the last screen that appears in verbose boot before screen goes black.

Hello @RehabMan my laptop model does not have an install script (think so), it's a ProBook 6470b that was working wit the old guide (Install 10.11 on HP EliteBook/ProBook/others with Clover UEFI). I provide the requested information, hoping it's complete and just need small tweaks.

Thanks for reading (and replying)!

@RehabMan please help
there's no install script for my laptop model, hope you can help!
p.s. i attached everything files of "Problem Reporting"

Of course there is. Look:

NUC6i7KYK:probook.git rehabman$ ./install_acpi.sh help|grep -y 6x70
install_6x70
install_6x70_hires
