Thanks rehabman. How do I know which bootloader to use? Will it be in the guide? Just asking before I change my signature to system specs.

We are using only Clover on Yosemite with ProBook/EliteBook.

Note title of guide in post #4.
 
I have installed Yosemite on HP Elitebook Folio 1040 G1 using PBI Yosemite Clover Edition.
Followed the guide to the dot, selected 6x0/8x0/Zbook. Mine was I5 with HD4400 graphics 1600x900 resolution.
There may be a black screen during booting when apple logo disapears - just press F10 a few times to increase brightness. WiFi card needs to be replaced with something like this http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=BCM94352Z&rt=nc ( People reported success, but 2 of them did not work for me). USB Edimax WiFi dongle works
In addition repost fom other thread


1. Speakers sound is really weak, much weaker than what it is in Ubuntu/Fedora.

2. Laptop had 4GB original Memory installed on board and I added additional 4GB memory module. BIOS reports both modules total 8GB and allocates 512MB for video. In Ubuntu I-nex (CPU-z analog) sees everything properly: 7.5Gb ram/512gb video.
But:- OSX System profile shows 1536Mb used by video (Intel 4400) although in BIOS it is possible to allocate 512MB(and it is allocated)
- OSX System profile shows 7.5GB of RAM which is correct but in memory configuration reports only one 4GB memory module (original from HP) installed


Please advice what can be done with audio and where to look to deal with memory issues, although until now it is only cosmetic.
I still wasn't able to make the card reader work

I have the same Folio 1040 G1 installed 10.10.4 using the clover,bug my graphic card and audio card can not work. I have installed the latest
HP Probook Installer Clover Edition
it seems that the installer clover edition doesn't has the 8-series laptop selection
,but they can not work. I'm appericate that you can tell how to install the graphic and audio cards drivers.

Following the guide ,i repeat it again and again ,it works.:clap:

Some people use Boom.

I'm sure it could be tweaked with CodeCommander/hda-verb and a lot of research/knowledge of the HDA spec.

But so far, no one with the motivation and skills combined.
