Hi All,

Its been a while since my last build of Mav on a Sabertooth x79 which worked well as a DAW for a while but i've since moved on an I now have a :-

HP Pavilion 15-ab242na Skylake
Intel i7 6500U
Intel HD Graphics 520 with discrete NDVIDIA 940M GPU's
250GB SSD
8GB Memory
Previously running Windows 10.

However since seeing Apple are rolling out skylake builds I thought I would give it a go. The technical information form HP and also the bios settings are minuscule and bleak..

i've having problem trying to find the correct codec for AppleHDA and finding the correct SMBIOS which would be close to laptop specs.

I've tried DSDT/SSDT patches using Rehadman guides but every time I get close, its either ACICPU busy waiting for GFX0 which its strange as i've changed all GFX0 to IGPU using patch. In some cases I see AppleHDA kicking in but then nothing. I've also manged to boot and complain about an intel device 80869d70 which i'm no longer seeing after patches.

DSDT, SSDT patched to the best of my knowledge but i don't think its enough :S (clover export, MACIASL)

ig-platform-iD 19160000 or 19160002 both HD 520 non retina

GPU Device ID 80861916 intel HD 520
HDA Device ID (I think) 80869d70

Disabling discrete graphics i think will help but i couldn't find _INI or related code. Also tried disabling in windows 10 using bespoke software because the only thing i can change in the bios is virtualisation

Looking at system profile Graphics, sierra finds Nvidia card but its the display, it find the Intel 520 but doesn't load kext. On a number of occasion nativity without injecting Intel or the platform-id, it tries to load intel slk graphics kext but received errors loading.

I've tried removing NVidia Kext but it also related to IONDVRSupport.kext, If I remove its fails to boot. will try again..

So in short :-
Clover latest build.
MacOS Sierra installed update 10.12.1
Internal Nic works, changing device ID in Realtek81111 kext
GPU's NVIDA shows as diplay, HD520
Wifi (TPLINK till i get my head round it but OS not detected)
Bluetooth detected but not loaded (not that important for me right now)
SMBIOS Tried, Macbookpro 6.2,11.2 and 9.1 skylake, IMAC 14.1, 15.2 and 17.2 skylake, Macbook m7 skylake 9.1

Knowing my luck after posting this a solution presents itself lol

Any advice would be appreciated... reaching out to the community.. ;)

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Pay attention the Skylake info in the FAQ. It is important.
 
Thanks Rehabman I will inwardly digest and see if the work around helps.

Its unfortunate that apple will not let me have El Capitan as this would be an ideal test for this laptop.. It just doesn't appear in appstore

If you downloaded 10.11 previously, it is still available from your "Purchases" tab in the App Store app.

I never purchased El Capitan and I think it strange its not available to buy or download. I mean, I would buy it now if I could get it but Apple say's no.. asking a friend ;)

Wow El Capitan 10.11.6 worked and i haven't edited the DSDT yet which would explain a few artifacts.

I've used your config.plist and clover revision 3433

working on the rest now..

Many Thanks Rehabman and community ;)
