<< Solved >> Unable to boot to installater zbook g2

[kevster0522]

System:
HP Zbook 14 g2
cpu: i5-5200u
chipset: Broadwell-U PCH L-P
graphics: intel 5500HD + amd FirePro m4150 (not planning on using amd)
display: 1600x900

I'm not planning on getting the amd graphics working so that's a nonissue. I also still have intel wifi installed which I know won't work. Just going to use ethernet for now.

I've been trying to get zbook to cooperate all week and I can't even get it to boot to the installer (I feel like I messed up my config.plist). I followed these two guides (reread them multiple times):

[Guide] HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook using Clover UEFI hotpatch

Overview The purpose of this guide is to provide a step-by-step guide to installing Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, or Yosemite on the ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook equipped with Intel graphics. Note: For Broadwell and Skylake hardware, you must install at least 10.11. Broadwell support in...

[Guide] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover

Overview One of the first challenges you'll face in installing OS X to your laptop will involve getting the OS X installer to boot from USB. This guide is for those wishing to use Clover (and in fact the only bootloader supported here). Both installing using Clover UEFI and Clover legacy are...

What happens:
when I try booting to the installer through clover it just hangs about 2/3 of the way done. verbose says cpu unsupported and pch unsupported then I get repeated errors about com.apple.displaypolicyd failing.

I made sure to set my video memory size to 64mb in bios. In my config.plist I commented out the three fields to disable the DVMT-prealloc patch (at least I hope that commenting them out actually disabled the patch)

Here's the verbose output:



I have a feeling this is something stupid that I missed when editing the config.plist, but I just don't know. Any help is greatly appreciated.

you need to use config,plist untouched, you disabled the injection of nvidia and ati, they are enabled for a reason to stop that error message, also you enabled intel, that should be disabled

also update your clover version to at least 4862 for Mojave

Thank you so much for the reply. I used the config.plist without editing it (except I still did remove the DVMT-prealloc patch) then used the newest version of clover (non-rehabman) and made sure to enable all the UEFI drivers that the rehabman version uses. Then I followed the rest of the guide and my zbook is working great.

Thanks!
