Gutz-Otoole Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 First allow me to explain what I'm doing and why. My hack is currently running Yosemite 10.4 with no problems or performance comprises whatever, currently booting using Chimera 4.1 Hardware details: MB: GA-B75M-HD3 CPU: Xeon e3-1230v2 Video: GTX640 RAM: 16GB Audio: USB C-Media audio device Boot Drive: ST1000DX001-1CM162 Media (hybrid) I'm trying to migrate from Chimera to Clover in anticipation of the El Capitan production release this fall. To give me a handle on Clover I decided to "test drive" by making a Clover boot stick. It works, I can boot from my Clover USB. Everything works, including sleep. My Clover v2.3k r.3241 installation: config.plist from Xcode: kext folder contents: FakeSMC, GenericUSBXHCI, RealtekRTL8111 patch: DSDT.aml borrowed from member fusion71au theme: ios7 As I have stated, the above configuration works 100% Next I installed Clover on my boot volume. The customization is necessarily slightly different: config.plist from Xcode: kext folder contents: FakeSMC, GenericUSBXHCI, RealtekRTL8111 patch: DSDT.aml borrowed from member fusion71au theme: ios7 THIS DOESN'T WORK. Clover launches without a panic, displays the Apple Logo with the progress bar moving, then the display goes black, then powers down. OS X is running, but without any display graphics at all. I tried injecting Nvidia, I even tried injecting Intel (!!) I'm stymied. Why does my boot stick work and the same, or nearly the same, configuration fail on my boot HDD? (BTW, I put this thread here because I'm not allowed to create a thread in the Clover forum.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gengik84 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Set on bios as primary graphics, the graphics card. in config.plist: only inject nvidia also inject kext = yes Try booting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutz-Otoole Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Intel HD graphics aren't available on my build (Xeon CPU) therefore the option to disable in BIOS is grayed out. There first time I tried this I chose "inject Nvidia YES" and got a black screen. The only inject option that's works is NO, but only if I boot from the UBS boot stick.

gengik84 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I reread your first post. Given that you can boot from USB with clover, but before you were using a more hd. There is a possibility that it is also the end of the drive, or that in any way interfere with the proper use of clover? I do not know the slightest chimera, I do not like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gengik84 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Using another mans dsdt is very bad idea, you should endevour to patch your own. hello, I very much agree about what you say... Never use DSDT others ... Even with the same motherboard, it is important bios version, etc ... However like you, I always recommend to patch their own.

Gutz-Otoole Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 I've never needed a DSDT. Every feature of OS X works on my system without one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gengik84 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 ok, sorry, I understood, reading the first post, you were using dsdt others..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutz-Otoole Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 I did use another's dsdt, but only on the USB boot stick. When booting using Chameleon I've never used one, and I've had full use of OS X. I've extracted and compiled my own DSDT now. Using it makes no difference. My Clover UBB boot stick will start my computer flawlessly, but when I run Clover from the EFI partition of my hard drive the display goes black and then into standby mode.

gengik84 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Copy and Replace the EFI of 'HD, with that contained in the usb. Restart. Try booting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutz-Otoole Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Black screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gengik84 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 confirm my hypothesis. You double bootloader or even traces of chimera on HD Council new clean install, using clover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutz-Otoole Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 If Clover boots from the EFI partition on my HD, how can the presence of Chimera on my working OS X partition influence the boot cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
