Hello.
It's been long time since I last tried installing anything related to OSx86. I had 10.4 or something like that, and then I bought a Mac :)
Anyway, right now I tried installing it on my pretty old Lenovo B580 laptop.
It's running Core i3-2328M, HM77 chipset, MB is Lenovo 20144, HD 3000 Video (no NV present).
Wifi is Broadcom BCM4313GN
Lan is Realtek RTL8211/8212
Bluetooth is Broadcom BCM20702A0.
Audio Realtek ALC269

The first thing I encountered - I can't boot. Clover is starting up, but after something about the boot.efi and +++++++ signs line, USB drive turns off and laptop restarts. There's something flashing on the screen, but I can't read it, too fast.
I think this has something to do with this: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-10-11-usb-changes-and-solutions.173616/ but, how do I patch the DSDT when I have no DSDT in the first place.

Any help?
Thanks.
 
I figured out that BCM4313GN won't work, but I have a compatible replacement.
