HCL 10.11.6/Portables
|
This is a hardware compatibility list for portable computers. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying a portable computer. Don't forget to add how you got OSx86 running on your portable x86 computer, and to use proper English. Please see the discussion page for proper instructions on how to input your system specs. Also, please contribute to the HCL 10.11.6 page, which should list a more granular view of compatibility. If your computer isn't listed, you should try it if you have a SSE2 or higher processor. Kernels are available for most configured machines
- ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.
- Please add hardware into tables.
- This is for 10.11.6 builds only.
Please list your computers in alphabetical order by manufacturer (Asus, Acer, Dell, HP, etc)
For how to edit the Wiki, please see this thread. Thank you!

[edit] HP Pavilion G6 (1256ek)
I downloaded it with Yosemite. Installed it on another partition. Booted it with Clover EFI. Clover allows to boot UEFI systems on this laptop with Legacy BIOS. BIOS is F.66
Hardware Name | Chipset | Notes | Patches Used | S |
---|---|---|---|---|
Processor | Intel® Core™ i3-2330M CPU @ 2.4Ghz | Requires NullCPUPowermanagement.kext during installation. And then custom SSDT generated by Piker's script. | SSDT Patches : [1] [2] | ![]() |
Video Card 1 | Intel® HD Graphics 3000 | Works OOB. | None. Requires nothing to work | ![]() |

WiFi | Atheros AR5B195 (AR9285) | This Laptop has a whitelist BIOS. Fortunately, the AR5B95H is allowed. The laptop will still reject the card unless the SUBSYS is as follow 103C 3040 | I use a DSDT injection (RehabMan's AR928x patches don't work because my device is on RP01). Can also be activated by Clover with fix airport in ACPI section. ToledaARPT.kext also works. Beware that some kexts will cause speed decrease. | ![]() |
