Guide To Install Yosemite on HP Laptops with Clover UEFI

[RehabMan]

...
I'm now trying the same with an old HP Elitebook 8560w which I believe is running Nvidia graphics. Before I embark on this journey I'm just wondering which of the config files to use (or do I need to build one myself)?

You should first find out exactly what hardware you have. Guessing is not productive.

I'm not entirely sure TBH (I know it doesn't help - it's an old work laptop which was running Windows before I decided to have a play).

I think the only way I'm going to get that is to reinstall Windows (or Linux) and install some sort of system info application. If I can't get anywhere with installing OS X (Unibeast failed so I'm trying vanilla Clover install) I'll do that and try and post as much info as I can.

Run 'lspci -nn' in Linux Terminal and post the output here.

I have noticed the new release of the Config.zip includes a config.plist for 6x60-8x60p 1600x900 with AMD, is this now a supported configuration. I ask as I replaced my AMD graphics system board with an HD 3000 based version to get OS X working, but would ideally like to switch back to discrete graphics. Please can you confirm support?

You should follow this.

I will make it official when I get more feedback.

Probook 4530s Core i3

Followed all the instructions. UIFI Boot. I get a CPU Power Management "Kernal Panic" after I clicked on "Boot OS X Install from Install OS X Yosemite" (10.10).



I even tried adding NullCPUPowerManagement



What can I try? Any Boot Flags I could try? Safe Mode didn't Work.

Thank You

Where is your config.plist? Follow the guide carefully please.

EDIT: Also, download Clover.zip again, there is a small bug in the last Clover.zip

Check your system.log for errors related to PS2.

Have you tried a fresh install?

thx for the reply.

the only error i have related to PS2 on System/log file is this :

"Jan 2 03:50:21 MacBook-Pro-de-soufiane kernel[0]: ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on keyboard input stream".

And when you talked about a fresh instal, can i make a new instal and restore a time machine backup or a really fresh instal ??

nguyenmac,

Thanks for your continued efforts, I will replace the HD 3000 system board in my EliteBook 8560p with the AMD 6470m discrete graphics version over the weekend and report back in the topic above.

Fresh install. TimeMachine may restore something you don't want to restore.

Ok i'll do a fresh instal tonight.

i have those lines now in the System.log :

Jan 2 16:15:57 MacBook-Pro-de-soufiane kernel[0]: ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad: Unexpected byte3 data (84) from PS/2 controller
Jan 2 16:15:57 MacBook-Pro-de-soufiane kernel[0]: ApplePS2SynapticsTouchPad: Unexpected byte0 data (f0) from PS/2 controller


Maybe a solution for my problem.
