Why would a HD cause Chimera to not boot when Clover does?

I get a flashing "/" right at boot all of a sudden with Chimera boot loader when my internal TimeMachine backup drive is connected. Disconnecting the drive, the system then boots up without issues. It even happens with my USB stick that is 100% verified working.

 

There funny thing is the system will boot just fine with the same drive connected using Clover. The drive in question checks out just fine with Disk Utility when booted with Clover and TimeMachine works as it should with all my backups intact so it doesn't appear to be a drive problem.

 

I've seen the same issue posted over at TonyMac a few months back and it was resolved by formatting the drive but I'm not going to do that as I don't want to lose all my backups and Clover seems to be working for me using EFI boot.

 

This one has me stumped!

 

cheers
