Does someone got 10.8.4 working? Does not work for me so far (reboots during startup)

Immo do you have Dynamic Acceleration activated in BIOS when using Clover? I am getting problems with sound when it is turned on (seems like a problem with the audio clock)

I think the HD is the problem - it is one of the newer 4k sector size "Advanced Format" HDs

EDIT: indeed this was the problem. I just placed the original 250GB HD back into the M1530 and installed clover on it - works like a charm!

Now the question is has anyone got one of those modern drives working with clover and M1530?

A15, but mine's an M1330 and the two machines do have significant differences. Does anyone else with an M1530 use Clover? I don't recall anyone commenting that they use it.

Possibly of interest, I first installed Clover V2 R1000 (possibly older), and now use R1151 and have used a couple versions in between. It updates quite frequently.

I've update to A15 but that does not help. Still same weird problem that it works fine when connected as USB drive. I can't count how often I've reinitialized the HD during the last two days. I'll try an older version of clover now.

Your drive uses GUID Partition table right? Could you please quickly describe step by step how exactly you have installed clover? Maybe I've missed some important step.

Couple things to check:
1. Is your bios configured for hard drives in SATA AHCI mode or ATA mode? Mine is in AHCI.
2. In the Clover installer, under customize, make sure you have an appropriate "Clover EFI" option chosen under "Customize". For my machine it's
"BIOS MBR boot0hfs". The "UEFI boot" option will not work on M1330/M1530 because these machines are too old. Even so, I found it selected in the installer once by default when I was installing on top of Chameleon.

Yes, AHCI and BIOS MBR boot0hfs - what is your BIOS version?
