Just a quick update, appears that HP devices have a bug that require a preloader setting up. Done and booting... Now need to get kexts sorted for keyboard and touchpad + other things. Seems to come up with an error with invalid signatures when installing and clearing kextcache.

@MaLd0n Here's the files as mentioned. My situation has slightly changed, I have Macos Catalina installed and booting, but only booting if clover is launched from the USB drive. I've tried copying the EFI folder from the usb to the boot / system EFI partition but when I try and boot without the USB attached I just get: +++++++++ and it doesn't progress past that point. No other info displayed in the verbose logging. Not sure if it matters but the PC has a single drive and has windows in 1 partition, Macos in another (APFS) and the system partition which is fat32 and contains clover + windows boot stuff. Tried lots of things... now, just burning through hours without any progress. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers CLOVER.zip origin.zip

Hi again. Finally managed to get Catalina to install. I borrowed a DSDT from a post where someone had a similar laptop to me. Anyhow, I'm now stuck trying to boot from the internal SSD, rather than the USB device. I've followed the instructions, installed clover (although the clover installer looked a bit different than the instructions - I guess a newer version?). Now I've copied the relevant EFI folder to my EFI partition (which is my windows system partition - dual boot etc.). Clover launches when booting and then when the option to boot from the Catalina drive is selected I just get: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ and it freezes... If I boot from USB, then it is fine... Any ideas? Trying my best not to run out of patience - frustrating though! Totally my own fault I'm sure. Cheers

Hi, thanks for the pointer to come in here... Not sure how to run the runme app if I'm not using a mac and don't yet have macos installed... clearly doing something wrong here So, as per the other post (apologies for duplication of info), I'm trying to install Olarila on a HP Spectre X360, with an intel i7-8565u CPU. Using the ISO with the provided Clover folder, it will make it to the installer and go through the install but then freezes with minutes remaining. I've tried using the EFI folder for the CPU (although there doesn't appear to be a whiskey lake one, so I'm assuming the skylake+ for notebooks is appropriate), and it goes into a loop stating no arguments are initialized for method [UPBI]... Not sure how to get the DSDT file mentioned - looked at the first post but still not getting it Any advice? P.S. I've donated, if that helps

Hi @MaLd0n, thanks for that - Stupid question, how do I get a fully patched DSDT? I appreciate it is probably well explained on here - a pointer in the right direction would be massively appreciated.

Hi, hopefully an easy one for you guys to give me some help with. Prepared the usb drive from the Olarila Catalina iso. Tried with config and config2. Boots into the installer ok, seems to install up to 2 minutes remaining then freezes. I then have to hard reset, and can access the installer from preloader... it then continues installing to less than a minutes remaining. Then freezes again... can’t turn boot into Catalina. Not really sure on what steps to do next. laptop is intel based. i7 8565u cpu, integrated uhd 620 cpu... Any ideas? Thanks, G
