I see, guess it's related to the EFI mount script. Not sure tho.

Check the installer log, should be in ur boot volume or EFI.

If you are in macOS High Sierra  (17E139j ) Clover package not working, its a know issue APFS Volume

Hi @Slice,

Thanks for r4399 commit, but on my Legacy-GPT scheme it seems I have little bit installation problem; it uses my (selected) MacHD Root as target instead of the EFI Partition (Install Clover in the ESP checked though). Also, I see no r4398 backup files (that previously installed) from my /EFI-Backups. Sorry for reporting this issue.

#EDIT: Using 10.11.6 with HFS+ when installing.

Here's an alternative and simpler mountESP script for 10.13.4 Beta 1, it wouldn't work on earlier macOS versions with APFS though :(. It would be possible to add the changes as an 'if OS ver > 10.13.3' clause...

#!/bin/bash

DEST_VOL="${1}"
EFI_ROOT_DIR="${2:-${DEST_VOL%*/}/EFIROOTDIR}"
partutil="./partutil"

DiskDevice=$(LC_ALL=C diskutil info "${DEST_VOL}" 2>/dev/null | \
                              sed -n 's/.*Part [oO]f Whole: *//p')

if [[ -z "$DiskDevice" ]]; then
    echo "Can't find volume with the name ${DEST_VOL}"
    exit 1
fi

# check if target volume is a logical Volume instead of physical
if [[ "$(echo $(LC_ALL=C diskutil list | grep -i 'Logical Volume' | \
          awk '{print tolower($0)}'))" == *"logical volume"* ]]; then
    # ok, we have a logical volume somewhere.. so that can assume that we can use "diskutil cs"
    LC_ALL=C diskutil cs info $DiskDevice > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [[ $? -eq 0 ]] ; then
        # logical volumes does not have an EFI partition (or not suitable for us?)
        echo "$DiskDevice is a logical volume"
        # find the partition uuid
        UUID=$(LC_ALL=C diskutil info "${DiskDevice}" 2>/dev/null | \
                                      sed -n 's/.*artition UUID: *//p')
        # with the partition uuid we can find the real disk in in diskutil list output
        if [[ -n "$UUID" ]]; then
            realDisk=$(LC_ALL=C diskutil list | \

there is a small problem with the revision Clover r4399 it does not mount the EFI partition of a disk image of this format

hdiutil create -size 5g -type SPARSE -fs HFS+J -volname Mac_OS_Installer -uid 0 -gid 80 -mode 1775 ~/Desktop/Mac-Image

before 4399 it was not a problem

@chris1111 cool, tested:

attachicon.giftested.png

but here works good. Anyway we can make it also APFS?

Not working here 10.13.3

not test 10.13.4 Beta 1

Yes APFS

hdiutil create -size 5g -type SPARSE -fs apfs -volname Mac_OS_Installer -uid 0 -gid 80 -mode 1775 ~/Desktop/Mac-Image

I have it on another hack, wait 2 minutes..

EDIT

works here on 10.13.3, clover updated with the same package, I'm on it.

Test in 10.13.4 yes working 

Strange here not work in 10.13.3 don't know why ?

 

Edit ***

this kind of disk image converted with
hdiutil create -size 5g -type SPARSE -fs HFS+J -volname Mac_OS_Installer -uid 0 -gid 80 -mode 1775 ~/Desktop/Mac-Image
hdiutil convert ~/Desktop/Mac-Image.sparseimage -format UDTO -o ~/Desktop/Mac-Image.cdr
mv ~/Desktop/mac-image.cdr ~/Desktop/macOS-High-Sierra.dmg
this is a useful image for Restore with dd command
making already bootable USB or Disk  B)

I have noticed that in recent versions of Clover, the Kext patches can be specified with full name, like com.apple.iokit.IOAHCIBlockStorage instead of just IOAHCIBlockStorage.  What is the benefit to this?  I suppose it's possible to have two different kexts with the same short name, but that seems unlikely to me.

When specifying a *rough* name, for instance, IOAHCIBlockStorage, Clover will also search for its dependencies and try to patch. (This should not be what you want, you are just willing to patch the kext itself, additionally in most cases there is no such occurrence in those dependent kexts, and you don't want to patch it/them either, furthermore, it's a waste of time, though, you can hardly ever feel it)

No.

 

Current Clover behavior:

- look for a match within *only* the bundle-id if there are no '.' characters in the specified Name (eg. it is a strstr search). The old behavior (forget the specific version of Clover for this change) was that the entire Info.plist was searched.

- look for an exact bundle-id match if there are '.' characters in the specified Name (eg. it is a strcmp comparison)

Thanks for the clarification. Oh yes, remembered that there was a discussion on this probably in late 2016, perhaps since then the behavior has been changed.

Thanks for that explanation, PMheart.  So would you recommend updating all my older patches to include the full name, for a minuscule boot speed improvement?

Sorry, I was wrong! (You can see @RehabMan's clarification above.)

According to his sayings, you don't have to do it. Just keep your "dirty-but-effective" patch. ;)

By the way, you may remove some duplicated patches. (e.g. The ones applied to AppleUSBXHCIPCI)
