Hi,

 

I am new to this forum so please excuse my ignorance. 

 

I have installed El Capitan only the HD.  Got the installer working including graphics from USB using lapic patch for dual core and SMBIOS 5,1.  

On first boot from HDD to complete installation, after the apple logo, the screen goes blank.  I have tried deleting AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext and AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext from the USB installer as suggested in the guide.  I cant understand why the first part of the installer would work from USB but not the second part from the HDD.

 

Have tried -x -f, GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No in various combinations.

 

Any ideas?

 

HP Pavilion G6 1075SA

8GB memory

i5 480m processor with 1st gen intel HD graphics. 

 

Many thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

That is actually the guide that I used.  I meant to copy and paste it into my first post so sorry about that. 

Still the same problem.  Graphics work from the USB installer, but not the HDD.  Does it use different settings to the USB for the second half of the install when it is booting for the HD for the first time? Im at a loss.

Thanks again for your reply. 

In the instructions it just said to remove the kexts and it should then boot enough to make the final tweaks.  Is it possible to disable to SIP before OSX is properly installed? 

 

Many thanks

So would I boot from USB, load Disc Utility and repair permissions there? 

Sorry, Im a bit of a newbie.  Well, I've built a couple of desktop Hacks but this laptop is infuriatingly restrictive in terms of Bios!

Fixed!!  Thank you so much!!  Able to boot to a screen.  NO mouse of keyboard yet, I'll have to get a USB one to set up.  Tried Single User mode - no keyboard, so booted with USB to install screen and ran terminal there using a bluetooth keyboard.  Deleted kexts AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext and AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext from HDD.  

 

Had to boot with GraphicsEnabler=NO

 

Thanks again for the great support!
