My problem is not being able to make bootable the partition UEFI-Fat32  where I installed Clover

So, you were not installing in EFI partition. Then, just flag your FAT32 UEFI partition as active.

[antoniodapc]

and so that is activated?

Before doing anything, better make DarwinDump. Choose options: Bootloader config files, and all options that start with Disk. We should be able to see from that what went wrong.

You will need to type these two commands in Terminal to clear the NVRAM. Then restart your computer (Mac), keep in mind you will also need to redo some of your your settings in System Preferences after the restart, like your computer name, re-enable Find My Mac, and a good idea to look at the Guest account options to make sure they have not changed.

sudo rm /nvram.plist

sudo nvram -c

If you want to see the contents of your NVRAM you can use this command on a real Mac or a Hackintosh with Clover.

nvram -p

Good Luck hope this helps!

PS. This would probably be a good thing to add to the Q & A post.

Installed successfully. Thanks!
I found out that with Clover r883, I don't need to delete <key>Kernel Cache</key> in com.apple.Boot.plist or put S/L/E in the root folder.
Everything just works pretty great as if it's a real mac!

So what are you doing just restore the Installer ESD.dmg to a USB Flash Drive, boot from it, and install Mountain Lion? Are you injecting any kexts, or booting without kernelcache?

Thanks!

i had the same one and just copied /src/edk2 from v3.9 to resolve it
.../src in v4.2 was empty

[FredWst]

Hello,

I've found what's wrong.
If you try to build from scratch that's my case, it does'nt work because Lvers.txt does not exist the first time.

I do that:

Quote

if [ "$1" == "edk2" ]; then
if [ "$access" == "co" ] || [ "${cloverUpdate}" == "Yes" ];then
getREVISIONSEDK2
if [ -f "${edk2DIR}"/Svers.txt ]; then
#edk2Local=`cat "${edk2DIR}"/Lvers.txt`
edk2Local=0
if [  "${checksvnRevision}" == "${edk2Local}" ]; then
update="No"
return  

fi

Should check if Lvers.txt exist, if not create with 0 revision inside.

or this

Quote

if [ -f "${edk2DIR}"/Svers.txt ]; then
            if [ -f "${edk2DIR}"/Lvers.txt ]; then
                edk2Local=`cat "${edk2DIR}"/Lvers.txt`
            else
                edk2Local=0
            fi
if [  "${checksvnRevision}" == "${edk2Local}" ]; then
update="No"
return  
fi
fi

Well, you have MBR formatted disk (not GPT). But this is not a problem, unless you are trying to do native UEFI boot - you can only do standard BIOS Clover boot (we call it CloverEFI) with MBR disk.

Your UEFI (fat32) partition is not bootable because you did not install any master boot (boot0) and partition boot (boot1*) code to this disk. I guess the easiest way to do that is to use Clover installer and select "BIOS MBR boot0hfs (HFS+Fat32)". Choose your UEFI partition as target.

[vmacpro]

Anyone notice problems with conflicting config files, when clover boots from cd or usb, it uses the config files from the installed local drive? This is also happening with 897.

When real refit is installed on the internal drive on a macbook pro, clover boots from a CD version on a macbookpro and themes mixup. This was only tested with an older version. Right now I don't have direct acces to the real Macs. But in near future I can test real MacPro 1.1 /2.1 again, the 2.1 Macpro with a hd5700 ended with a blackscreen and cursor on a older version of Clover CD, but with high resolution 1600x1200.

Offtopic: I finally discovered that I had to pass to Questionaries/Quizes from this forum to reply to this topic ;-)

[mrengles]

Welcome to the forum vmacpro. =)

Haven't had this issue at all. What do you mean by "real refit installed" sorry if this is a dumb overlooked question.

I hope you get some help. The best thing you can do for yourself is read this entire thread from start to finish. and study the first twenty something posts by the Developers. Please don't take that the wrong way. I'm not trying to be rude or snub in any way. I learned allot about Clover by doing that myself. There is so much "good" information in this thread, about installing, troubleshooting, booting, you name name it.

Good luck with Clover, I'm sure your learn to love it too. Its the best Mac bootloader available!

Yes my goal and start directly with UEFI.

Tomorrow night I try to follow this installation
BIOS MBR boot0hfs (HFS+Fat32)

is a problem that my disk sectors are  4096 B ?

On a real Mac, I installed refit from http://refit.sourceforge.net/ and when I boot clover from CD on a Mac where on the internal disk refit was installed it mixes up the looks of cloverCD as its booting.

This mix up of config/themes also happens on pc's with just clover local internal disk install while booting from the clover CD version. I think I cannot be more clear on this to explain it?

Why don't you try removing the "real refit install" on all the other locations and just use Clover?

@Liquid Ice

If you just downloaded the iso file and moved EFI to your usb or hard drive your missing some need drivers.

You should try using the installer from SF.

What's files do you have in drivers64 and drivers64Uefi?
