Help on installing Yosemite on HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC model 1802

Hello. I would appreciate any help on installing Yosemite on a HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC model 1802. I have tried several versions of the guides using Clover, but I can't get to the installer (see screen shot). The screen gets all distorted. Thanks for any help.

Try with CSM enabled and/or disabled..

See guide here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...oting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover-uefi.html

Thanks for the quick response, but this BIOS has almost no configuration ability. It is InsydeH20. These are all the options that I have.

It does not appear you even have UEFI boot capability.

You can use Clover EFI (legacy), but still you need a correct config.plist (see link previously provided).

Or use Chameleon/Chimera: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...aller-laptops-unibeast-chimera-chameleon.html

I tried config_HD3000_1366x768_7series.plist, but had the same result. Is there any way to tell which is the correct one for my system?

It is unlikely you have a 7-series chipset. You do not have a 1366x768 display.

Sorry, your're right. I tried config_HD3000_1600x900_7series.plist

Tried all 1600x900 plists with same result. These are always preceded by "Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport" errors. Is this significant?

Use the correct 1600x900 plist.

Then boot verbose and post quality photo of the entire screen. The BT error is insignificant and has nothing to do with the problem.
