If you have free space following the partition, you can increase the size of it in Disk Utility.

Fixing the guide in post #1

There are several mistakes in post #1 and the original author does not appear to be keen on fixing them.

For power management the URL for 'curl' is wrong. Refer to the main guide for correct instructions:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...01-guide-native-power-management-laptops.html

The repo has several problems which are fixed in my fork of the same. Instead of cloning the repo as in post #1, use mine instead:

Code: 
cd ~/Projects
git clone https://github.com/RehabMan/Lenovo-Z50.git Z50.git


Fixing audio

Boot without caches (press space bar in Clover, choose from menu).

Then rebuild cache:
Code: 
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

Reboot.

Note: This is standard procedure when using AppleHDA injectors (so-called "dummy HDA")


Trackpad/Keyboard driver assumptions

The guide in post #1 assumes you have an ELAN trackpad and installs the ELAN PS2 kext. If your laptop has Synaptics (some have ELAN some have Synaptics), this is not the best choice. The ELAN driver is a bit unstable, and is not open source. In addition, the ACPI patches for brightness keys assume that if you have Synaptics that you've installed a different driver.

If you have Synaptics, install VoodooPS2Controller.kext instead: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller

Make sure you remove the ELAN driver.


BIOS mods for compatible WiFi installation

The laptop BIOS implements a WiFi whitelist, which must be defeated in order to install an OS X compatible WiFi card.

See this guide for more info: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...ovo-g50-70-z50-70-bios-whitelist-removal.html


Problem Reporting

Download patchmatic: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-maciasl-patchmatic/downloads/RehabMan-patchmatic-2015-0107.zip
Extract the 'patchmatic' binary from the ZIP. Copy it to /usr/bin, such that you have the binary at /usr/bin/patchmatic.

In terminal,
Code: 
if [ -d ~/Downloads/RehabMan ]; then rm -R ~/Downloads/RehabMan; fi
mkdir ~/Downloads/RehabMan
cd ~/Downloads/RehabMan
patchmatic -extract

Note: It is easier if you use copy/paste instead of typing the commands manually.

Post contents of Downloads/RehabMan directory (as ZIP).

Also, post ioreg: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

And output from:
Code: 
kextstat|grep -y acpiplat
kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu
kextstat|grep -y applelpc

Also, post EFI/Clover folder (press F4 at main Clover screen before collecting). Please eliminate 'themes' directory, especially if you have an overabundance of themes installed.

Also post output of:
Code: 
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

How does one uninstall the Elan Touchpad Kext? I'm kinda new to hackintosh

So I remove ApplePS2SmartTouchpad from Library/Extensions/ then use Kext Wizard to install the synaptics one?
Click to expand...

I would install to /Library/Extensions with 'sudo cp -R' in Terminal, but you can also use /S/L/E and Kext Wizard.
 
Sometimes Finder crashes when right click or trying to open some folders this happens randomly.
When finder crashes it don't relaunch.
Maybe this a HDD issue ?

If you need analysis of your system, read post #3, "Problem Reporting".
