Just tried on Fusion Drive. It installs to the EFI partition on the second disk instead of the first.

Hmm...I don't think I added any keyboard drivers... Since everything works with the default Apple driver (when not encrypted), I figured I don't need one. But tell me, which driver should I use for this case? I already use AptioFixDrv2?

Password input requires a keyboard driver working with AppleBootKeyPress protocol. Only special constructed drivers: UsbKbDxe from Clover 3882+, or AptioInputFix by vit9696. Thats all for now.

Thanks!

 

I already tried UsbKbDxe and..no luck. I'm gonna try AptioInputFix by vit9696 and let you know. :)

 

Also, thank you for the explanation and for the driver.

 

 

Update:

@Slice, the AptioInputFix driver worked for me. Thank you very much!

 

 I thought I'd never see the day when FileVault will work on a Hackintosh. This is incredible!

 

Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this release! You guys rock! \m/

I always assumed that with a fusion drive I should use the EFI partition on the first disk. But I tried moving the files to the second disk (the one Clover installs to) and it still boots fine.

 

So I guess Clover is officially installing ok to fusion drives now.

The pity is that diskutil output in Sierra and EC are different.

 

The modded script attached can handle logical volumes. Tester needed.

I moved my Clover files from the second (hard) disk back to the first (ss) disk and tried your new script. Now it mounted the first disk and updated the existing Clover install.

 

I can't say which way is more "correct", but I like the new script better as it makes more sense to me to use the EFI partition on the SSD for the Clover files as it's the first disk in the CS volume.

disk at index 0 (the first) is a good rule.

Hi,

I checked the recent alterations to Clover, and they are done improperly. The code is supposed to return the list of all logical volumes, and the latter code does not assume this possibility:

$ LC_ALL=C diskutil list | \
> grep -B 1 "$UUID" | \
> grep -i 'logical volume' | awk '{print $4}' | \
> sed -e 's/,//g' | sed -e 's/ //g'
disk1s2

Hi vit9696,

 

 The code is supposed to return the list of all logical volumes, and the latter code does not assume this possibility:

 

 

no, Is supposed to find only the line before the matching partition uuid on the logical volume firstly, for example:

Logical Volume on disk0s2, disk1s2
                                 CD6DD151-926E-46AF-B6F8-744137969981

and then it should find 4th column

  1. Logical
  2. Volume
  3. on
  4. disk0s2, (cleaned by sed is disk0s2)
  5. disk1s2

 

Not a list of all logical Volumes, only the first physical disk. If that is wrong we should elaborate what is better.

Can you show me your 'diskutil list'? may be the partition uuid is repeated for you?

just want to ask a fast thing bare with me please slice:

how well does clover read acpi tables ?

could how acpi effect a gpu working right or not?

the reason i ask is the 290x works oob on a macpro 5,1 with all ports working and 

we have been thinking it's a acpi reading issue 

now with ozmosis the RX480 works without igpu with clover it needs the igpu

if you could help clear this up please do i willl be following the post and i will get you debug files 

soon when my new mobo comes thanks for your time.

 

1. Clover read ACPI tables. But what is read? Not as imaginative literature. It get it from BIOS and put to OS. Someone can make patches on the fly for his responsibility.

2. "290x works oob on a macpro 5,1" . Yes, I know there is a difference between real MAC and Hackintosh but nobody told me what namely.

3. Oz is not accessible for me and I can't discuss what it can.

Oh, have finally seen that $UUID and the -n check, missed it in the latest diff in the morning. Looks like you are right, I ran the commands in order and it gave me the right partition now  :whistle: Good job & sorry for bothering.

@ pkdesign

If PatchVBios isn´t working automaticly you can have a look on your vbios, find the correct entry and patch it on the fly via the key PatchVBiosBytes.

 

@ Slice

Have you seen this post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/page-578?do=findComment&comment=2309338

Hi

 

I just setup FileVault2, but now my nvram.plist is not loaded on boot (Which it shouldn't as the disk is encrypted), can I somehow tell 80.save_nvram_plist.local to save the nvram.plist to the EFI partition instead of the root of the boot drive?

 

Also I tested out the EnableHWP flag, it's working great!

 

EDIT: Does anyone know if it is possible to have native NVRAM on Gigabyte Z170? I have been searching high and low, but haven't found anything, as that would fix the nvram.plist problem. (Sorry if this is OT, but I was just thinking that this was bootloader related).

 

Thanks for all your hard work.

Yes, this is related. This is a part of Dmazar's work on OsxAptioFixDrv but he is absent and nobody can continue.

 

The question about nvram.plist location is very interesting. May be Micky1979 may look at the script how to write a file into unmounted volume.

I also think that for the case of FV2 it will  be better to use Recovery HD.

Or we should propose always use ESP and account it to be always mounted. Else logic?
