Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

Mobo: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
Mobo: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Note: When specifying your bootloader, if using Clover legacy, please be sure to specify "Clover legacy"). Specifying "Clover" will be assumed as "Clover UEFI"

8086:2a42 is GMA 4500MHD, which is not supported by any version of OS X.

I once tried that in Leopard 10.5.7, the os worked without the GMA.. hopefully someone can port it from linux to os x.

Of course you can run without proper graphics support, but OS X is very painful without QE/CI.

Don't plan on someone porting the drivers from Linux. The hardware is very old/undesireable, and Apple doesn't document the graphics driver interfaces.

yeah, i had the same problem on my hp 8560p, but it could be solved. also i have a clover problem on the 8560p, and that is, when you start up the computer from the hdd on clover, after the boot screen completes, it shows a black screen. hopefully os x sierra will fix that (wait did i just say os x sierra its macos sierra)...
