M4600 - Hang at Apple logo after full bar. "Waiting for DSMOS"

[anvu03]

Hello,

I'm having trouble with installing El Capitan on my M4600
Here's the spec:
Intel i7 2820QM
16Gb Ram
Samsung EVO SSD 250Gb
GPU: Nvidia Quadro 2000m

I followed the installation guide for El Capitan from tonymacx86 to create the boot flash drive.
---The flash drive is a 32Gb 3.0, but I used 2.0 port to install.

I installed El Capitan on my desktop using the same flash drive and it was a success. After that I tried on my laptop, but it hang at the Apple logo after ran full bar.

I tried with "boot in verbose mode" and this is what it shown



"Waiting for DSMOS..."

Please help me to fix this problem.
Thank you.

Not a Desktop - Moved to Laptop Support.


"Waiting for DSMOS..." without a corresponding "DSMOS has arrived" implies that FakeSMC.kext is missing or not loaded.

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

So I can not use UniBeast to do "easy-install" for Clover ? My system is legacy boot BTW, not UEFI

Both UEFI and legacy are covered in the guide.

Note: "Waiting for DSMOS" without a corresponding "DSMOS has arrived" implies that FakeSMC is missing or not loading.

Ok. Look like I have to get my hands dirty. I just read the installation for Clover and FakeSMC for the flash drive. Install the FakeSMC sound confusing since KextWizard is required.

FakeSMC.kext just needs to be copied to EFI/Clover/kexts/Other. Kext Wizard install of kexts is post-install.

There's one thing i dont understand. At the beginning, after I plugged the flash drive to the laptop m4600 (as above, didn't work), I plugged into my PC (the one I successfully installed El Capitan), and I did boot to the install screen. If FakeSMC wasn't on it, how can the PC still boot to the installation ?

FakeSMC can also load from /S/L/E or /L/E on the system volume.

I put the FakeSMC kext in the /other folder but did not work. Actually the FakeSMC kext was there in the first place.
