[SOLVED] HP Probook 6570b with ATI does not properly display Yosemite installer on screen
Hi,
I am trying to install Yosemite 10.10.2 in my HP Probook 6570b with an ATI 7570M. Long story short, clover is showing up, I included the /EFI/Clover/config.plist from "6x70-8x70 with AMD", but once I select "Boot OS X Install from Install OS X Yosemite", some text appear on screen and suddenly, when I suppose Yosemite installer is launched, the screen text becomes skewed and scrambled (see pictures). Could someone help me, please?
Hardware
HP Probook 6570b
CPU: Intel Core i5 3230M
Chipset: HM76
Bios: F.46 (http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ob_128848_1)
Ram: 4 GB
Graphic card: ATI 7570M (I don't see any option to disable it in bios)
Screen resolution: 1366x768
Software
I followed to the letter nguyenmac's post "Guide To Install Yosemite on HP Laptops with Clover UEFI" (if I did not commit any mistake). Using a virtual machine with Yosemite 10.10.1:
1) I created the partitions on a SD card (Sandisk Extreme Pro 8GB) plugged to a USB SD card reader (Kingston MobileLite G2).
2) I copied the last clover available at the dropbox folder.
3) I copied config.plist from "Config/6x70-8x70 with AMD" to /EFI/Clover/config.plist.
4) I created Yosemite Installer partition following method 2a.
5) I copied the HP Probook installer to the root folder of the second partition where the Yosemite Installer was created.
Moving to the laptop:
6) I configured the bios as explained in the post with UEFI Native (since my goal is to install Yosemite and Windows 8.1 or 10). Besides, I unchecked fast boot.
7) When I boot to the USB Card reader, clover is loaded without problems and I can perfectly see clover screen.
8) If I navigate to "Graphic inject menu" (if I remember well), I see that some options about ATI are selected, so config.plist should be properly placed and "doing something".
9) When I select "Boot OS X Install from Install OS X Yosemite", for a small period of time some text appear on the screen, loading something.
10) Then, the screen becomes unreadable with everything skewed. At some point with a lot of imagination , I can see something that should be Apple's logo and a progress bar. Finally, there should be some kind of grey screen with a white list of items, where the selected item is blue, but it is totally unusable.
Notes:
1) I tried the other config.plist in "6x60-8x60p with AMD", and exactly the same happened. I looked at the "Graphic inject menu" to check that different options were selected.
2) I also tried and old config.plist from an old post "HP Probook 6570b. Switch to HD Graphics?" (http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook-mavericks/126761-hp-probook-6570b-switch-hd-graphics.html). It gave me a black screen, nothing happens. I waited for half an hour.
3) I read at the forum rules that is forbidden to ask about AMD/ATI cards, but since they were included at the installation post, I decided to ask.
4) I did not post this message at the "Guide To Install Yosemite on HP Laptops with Clover UEFI" to do not pollute the thread.
5) This is my first post. I apologize if I missed or broke any rule.
