mickeyd453 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hi I have tried to test our clover 3050 on a Dell Optiplex 980 SFF to see how i can get on. This is installed on an external USB drive so as not mess with my main install. A normal boot using Chamelion on this drive takes about 20 seconds. I have installed Clover and once the boot menu comes up and i select the OS X install to boot from the USB disk the screen just goes black, it also does this in verbose mode. The screen does not turn off but simply goes black. After a really long time, like 20-30 minutes, the machine does actually boot. During the time the screen is black there is NO disk activity, its as though its waiting on something to timeout but i cant see what is happenning. Hardware is as follows 3.32 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 1024 MB with a single screen plugged into the DVI out running on a Dell Optiplex 980 SFF If i boot with Chamelion the machine boots in about 20 seconds Attached is a boot log and config.plist to see if anyone has ideas thanks! config.plist.txt bootlog.log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeyd453 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 OK - seems to be much better What did you change to stop this delay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The config.plist you have before, carry a format not in standard, i use the edit I know. You can open textedit to compare side by side and you would see. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
