Hp pavilion dv6 can't reach the installer.

Hello.
I am having a problem to reach the installer in macOS 10.14.5 when I reach at some point in verbose mode then it restarts automatically (used -no_compat_check). Attached a photo before it restarts.

-no_compat_check is not enabled in config.plist, add that and try changing the smbios to a different model

+1 on changing your SMBIOS to a different model. Even with -no_compat_check enabled, you are almost certainly going to run into more compatibility issues later with that SMBIOS.

I'm currently running and tweaking Mojave 10.14.0 on my HP Pavilion DV6 6080, which is very similar and have not issues so far using the MacBookPro 9,1 SMBIOS.

I'm currently running and tweaking Mojave 10.4 on my HP Pavilion DV6 6080, which is very similar and have not issues so far using the MacBookPro 9,1 SMBIOS.

Thank you man, It worked after I changed to MacBookPro 9,1 SMBIOS.

Anytime!

Shubham17 did all the heavy lifting on that, but I have a very similar laptop to yours and have most things working really well, so if you need help with anything specific, just let me know.

Right now the only things not working on my old HP DV6 6080 are my SDHC card reader (i’m investing some different techniques) and the Fingerprint reader (which will never work on macOS). USB 3.0 works but there is definitely something hinky with the injected power to those ports so they are a bit temperamental. Audio is almost perfect (using layoutid 21), but the Line-in input is excluding the right audio for some reason when recording, so I need to figure that out.

Otherwise, i’m very happy with the performance and stability so far and I am almost about ready to start putting together a guide.

Hi! Sorry, i’ve been away for a while. What do need help with on your installation?

You can definitely boot both Windows 10 and Mojave, but it is much easier and safer if you have two separate HDDs. One for each OS. I removed my Optical Drive and bought one of those internal optical drive to 2.5in HDD adapters. That way I can have two HDDs in my laptop.
