Post-Installation

Preparation

Prepare to have the following files available on a USB stick:

• Git clone of XPS9530-OSX, create one with git clone https://github.com/robvanoostenrijk/XPS9530-OSX.git
• Latest Clover EFI installation
• Latest Command-line Developer Tools, currently "Command Line Tools (OS X 10.10) for Xcode - Xcode 6.1.1"

Dump ACPI tables

Next boot into the newly installed OS X Yosemite using the existing Clover bootloader on the installation USB. Before selecting to boot Yosemite from Clover, press F4 to dump the BIOS ACPI tables.

Note that from the login screen it might take a while get to the desktop, due to GPU acceleration not being active

Copy dumped ACPI tables

Use diskutil list to obtain a list of available drives in the system. Locate the USB drive you booted from in the list and mount its EFI folder.

If for example the USB disk is /dev/disk3, type diskutil mount /dev/disk3s1.

Copy the dumped ACPI tables from Clover to the downloaded XPS9530 folder.

For example: cp /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/origin/*.aml ~/Documents/XPS9530/DSDT/raw

Unmount the EFI folder when done, disktil unmount /Volumes/EFI.

Next install the "Command-Line developer tools", these are required for code-signing.

Patch DSDT & System Files

In a terminal navigate to the unpacked XPS9530 git data and execute the following:

• ./XPS9530.sh --update
• ./XPS9530.sh --decompile-dsdt
• ./XPS9530.sh --patch-dsdt
• ./XPS9530.sh --compile-dsdt
• ./XPS9530.sh --patch-iokit
• ./XPS9530.sh --patch-hda
• open ./tools/Kext\ Utility.app

Install Clover on target volume

Now install Clover using the Clover installer, with the following options:

• Install for UEFI booting only
• Install Clover in the ESP
• Drivers64UEFI
  • OsxAptioFix2Drv-64
• Install RC scripts on target volume

After installation copy the clover data from the XPS9530 git over the Clover installed copy in /Volumes/EFI Also copy the compiled DSDT/SSDT to the Clover EFI: cp ./DSDT/compiled/*.aml /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched

Next reboot and now boot from the installation target drive
