I have used this tool to create a bootable usb. Then used El Capitan Post-Install Tools  to get the boot screen.


 


Then I tried to boot the USB and I got the clover boot screen.


 


Then I selected the "Boot mac osx from INSTALLER" option, where INSTALLER is the name of the USB. Then it took me to a new screen with an apple logo. Then a loading started and in the middle of the loading, there appeared some lines on the screen and computer restarted. I had selected the USB as the first device to boot, so computer took me to the same clover boot screen. All in all, nothing happened.


 


There were also Clover boot options and normal options menus in the clover interface.


 


I didn't do anything with BIOS settings, since I couldn't find any advanced settings in my BIOS screen. My computer is PackardBell TS-11HR.


I was told that following settings should be set: "CSM: disabled; AHCI: enabled; Secure Boot: disabled; OS or OS type: set to Other OS; VT-D: disabled". However, I have no clue how to reach them.


 


Appreciate if you can help.

I still don't understand why on earth you even have to set that setting. I mean. It is a matter of simply reading MSR(0xE2) and checking bit-15 (with mask 0x8000) for a boot loader, and then do what is required. They way it is now is retarded at best.

Thanks for the reply.

 

However, I didn't get what I should do with that line of code? I am kinda not familiar with those systems and it would be great if you could elaborate on further.

 

Thank you.

hello

 

u should read a bit more in clover wiki in the link

 

clover have a config.plist file where is all keys to config ur system to boot

 

     Clover v.2 Instructions    

 

don't expect a easy install .. what u try is to hack install os x in a pc .. not in a mac

 

so hack mac os x is 99% of reading , googling, persistency and 1 % of luck u have compatible hardware

 

good hack

I have just realized that I have to edit this config.plist.

 

Thank you though.

 

However, the line you suggested me to add is already there.

hello

 

so other thing in ur config is wrong .. maybe ur graphics .. also u should use macbookpro8,1 smbios

 

should post more lines from verbose boot

 

good hack

 

I found this webpage for MacBookPro8.1.plist

 

However, again I don't know where to put it  :)

 

And what exactly is this verbose boot? How can I get more lines from there? I presume this is the screenshot I sent with the lines.

Luckily it doesn't have to be set, but most users unfortunately use tools such as Clover Configurator or the example config.plist, both of which set every option to their default values. Clover automatically enables AICPUPM/XNU kernel patches if MSR 0xE2 bit 15 is locked, but this autodetection can be overwritten by the value in config.plist (which is bad, IMO). I still don't get why CC, etc. set every option, it is really dumb and just leads to more issues (since some default options may change, etc).

What you propose was added to Clover by Slice (quite some time ago), both for AsusAICPUPM and KernelPm. But it may be broken by changes made by other devs as it relates to custom boot entries. I know it worked... then was broken... I haven't tried the automatic detection in a while since it is easy to specify it and does not depend on whether the auto-detect is working or not. So... I'm sure if it is current in the broken state.

 

But if you specify false, it will override the auto-detect for sure (and most likely result in panic). You get what you ask for, I guess...

In the clover boot menu I changed the SMBIOS settings from macbookpro8,3 to 8,1

 

Then I started the OSX in verbose boot mode and captured the following screenshots;

clover detect your hardware like a macbook pro8,3?? change to macbook pro 9,1 or 9,2 not under it will make P-State Stepper error and boot with only this flags

 

slide=10

 

don't forget to inject ATi or nvidia according to your graphic card

 

i get install screen with this.

 

good luck
