Renegade Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hi, I recently tried to install Sierra on a spare HDD with GPT and got it to work on my X58a-UD3R v2.0 rig.Used Clover in "Legacy" mode, installed into the EFI partition. Then I decided to install on my Crucial M4 SSD* and followed the exact same steps, but this time It won't boot: the boot process hangs just when the progress bar appears. Please see attachment for verbose mode. If I use the Clover installed into HDD's EFI partition and select the Sierra installed on SSD, it boots... So I'm thinking about a new incompatibility between Clover and Crucial M4 SSD... Let me summarize:Clover from USB installer > Sierra installation on SSD > boot okClover from HDD > Sierra installation on SSD > boot okClover from SSD > Sierra installation on SSD > boot hangs when loading bar appears. Thanks in advance. * This drive has been running Mavericks and Yosemite (both with Clover) without any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Lamp Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Try copying everything from your EFI partition on your old drive to the EFI partition on the new SSD drive. I doubt there's a hardware incompatibility. If it booted with a particular configuration before it that same configuration should with the SSD.

PPCnostalgic Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 @Renegade Which Clover version are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 @PPCnostalgic Sorry, didn't see your question. I was running clover 3193 with Yosemite, now I'm sticking with latest releases. I still have to use a usb drive since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPCnostalgic Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'm running Clover r3650 and everything works properly with Sierra, but newer version(s) of Clover didn't work (or at least there was always something wrong) so I suggest to try r3650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
