Clover into a real Macbook 2,1

[skyfly555]

I wonder if somebody here can help me with installing Clover into a real Macbook 2,1. I'm sure with Clover I should be able to boot El Capitan from my Macbook 2,1.

 

 

 

IN BRIEF: How can I boot a real Mac with Clover? How can I tell clover to boot from a specific-defined-by-me boot.efi file? I'm trying to install El Capitan on an unsupported Mac and I need it to boot from a 32-bit boot.efi file created by Piker Alpha.

 

***************************************************************************

THE WHOLE STORY
I have two hackintoshes with El Capitan and Clover Legacy (I wrote a guide, you can find it here: http://www.insanelym...pported-laptop/) These hackintoshes are very similar to my Macbook 2,1, and they are booting El Capitan but without QE/CI, because it's not supported on them. It's good for me, I can live without QE/CI.

 

So, what I've done:

1- With "Carbon Copy Cloner" I've cloned the hackintosh SSD to an external HDD drive.

2- I've installed Clover UEFI on this external HDD. I've changed the version of Clover (legacy-->UEFI) because Mac is supposed to be EFI, not BIOS.

 

There's one more thing, Macbook 2,1 needs a special boot.efi, which is 32-bit (http://piker-alpha.g...cosxbootloader/) to install El Capitan on it. Of course, I have this file and I'm using the Yosemite version of this boot.efi on my Macbook 2,1( this mac is not supported by nothing official beyond 10.7 Lion) and yosemite is running good but without QE/CI too (I've installed Yosemite and this boot.efi using MacPostFactor installer).

 

I've followed the instructions (you can find it in a tony**** forum) given by Asher-, where he says that, if you want to boot from Clover on a real mac, it's so easy as copying the boot.efi you have in /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi to EFI/CLOVER/drivers64. In my case, I don't have this boot.efi into /System/...... because "I don't have permissions" to do this.

 

With Clover UEFI, I can boot Yosemite from the SSD of the macbook, but not El Capitan in the external HDD. Remember: I cannot copy the boot.efi to El Capitan directly, so I need Clover doing this, and other nice things it's doing on my hackintoses: disabling SIP, injecting kexts...

 

Please, can you help me?

 

Note: I have Yosemite on the Macbook because it's supported by "OS X Hackers" (http://forums.macrum...-guide.1761432/), but my Macbook is not supported by them under El Capitan (http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/os-x-el-capitan-on-unsupported-macs.1889851/).

 

I feel Clover can help me in this adventure because my Acer 5315-5715z laptops are very similar to my Macbook 2,1 (they are like Macbook 4,1; the only difference they have a GMA X3100 instead of a GMA 950, that's all) . So, I'm sure I can have El Capitan on my Macbook without QE/CI. If Clover can do this to hackintoshes, why not to a real macbook?

 

Thank you for helping me!

GMAX3100 and GMA950 will not work at 64bit systems. 10.8+

Thank you, Slice. They don't work as expected, that is, not QE/CI, but they display images. For what I want, it's enough. I have two hackintoshes, with GMA X3100, one of them running El Capitan and the other Yosemite, so it has to be possible, always without QE/CI, of course.

 

By now, all I need to know to go ahead with this experiment is...

How can I boot a real Mac with Clover? How can I tell clover to boot from a specific-defined-by-me boot.efi file? I'm trying to install El Capitan on an unsupported Mac and I need it to boot from a 32-bit boot.efi file created by Piker Alpha.

 

If someone knows and can help...

Finally done without Clover.
