Clover General discussion

[Ritz Carltn]

About this Mac and System Profiler both report RAM speed at DDR3 1600 MHz. Another site recommended running "sysctl hw.busfrequency hw.physmem" in terminal to check the bus speed, which results is followins.

 

hw.busfrequency: 96000000

hw.physmem: 2147483648

 

 

Since installing Yosemite, 10.10.5, I have had reduced performance (system clok is slightly faster, time is faster and Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI. sAMPLE RATE 40135 Recognized.  Check conflict between Logic Pro and external device). I'm wondering it if is related with BUS Speed? I have read that a lot of bus speed reporting problems are just cosmetic, but I feel like I have a real problem here.

I'm not sure what to do or check next, please advise.

hw.busfrequency should return 100000000 (= 100 MHz). Your bus frequency is currently 96 MHz, which is probably causing your clock issues.

So I have to fix CPU content in config.plist? Right?

Should. Set config.plist -> CPU -> QPI to 100 then test if it works.

No reliable information, but I experienced the same years ago... Guess Windows does not redraw the logo at this stage (why would they? It is supposed to be on the screen right now)

 

Oh, you're probably right. If you drop the table it draws the windows logo, duh! Weird thing is that behavior differs between my computers, one shows a black screen with circle of circles, always, one shows the boot logo with circles, always, and the other draws the logo if booted from boot menu but not from clover. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....

 

I'm using legacy boot, I thought the hfsplus driver was built in?  I'm able to boot my system if I do a time machine restore from the installer.  I just am unable to do a clean install and continue on to the second stage.

 

EDIT: I'm booted in to my system now after restoring time machine.  Here is the driver section from bdmesg.  I still don't see hfsplus so I don't think thats the issue.

EDIT2: hfsplus.efi driver didn't help.  I can see the driver loaded successfully via bdmesg. I then booted the 10.12.4 installer off of my usb flash drive and did another clean install.  Still doesn't see the second stage installer.

 

I don't see where it says that it loaded HFSPlus driver. You need that one because the open source one does not handle core storage volumes. It should be creating boot entries from your recovery HD, maybe you are hiding it or something?

 

hw.busfrequency should return 100000000 (= 100 MHz). Your bus frequency is currently 96 MHz, which is probably causing your clock issues.

 

Not necessarily. The reference base clock frequency is 100MHz for 2nd gen core i's and newer, but that doesn't mean that is what is actually set at, sometimes, especially in portable devices, the base clock is bumped down slightly and is less than 100Mhz.  See this.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Noticed differences too, for the last, the OEM fw likely redraws the logo before handing off - because Windows doesn't do it?

Sorry, I didn't post a log showing the hfsplus driver loaded.  I am able to boot my 10.12.4 system fine on a core storage volume without the hfsplus driver.  The problem I am having is that I cannot boot the second stage of the install when doing a clean install.  I did try using the hfsplus driver and doing another clean install and I still can't load the second stage of the install.  I also don't currently have a "Recovery HD" partition.  This is why I am trying to do a clean install.  I want to do a clean install so the recovery hd is created. then restore my time machine backup.

 

I should probably attempt another clean install with the hfsplus driver and send another debug log.

Check if you use new Clover revision.

[kjp4756]

Check if you use new Clover revision.

Just finished doing that with the latest clover.  Still unable to boot the second stage of the install.

 

Attached is a debug log.  I do have a recovery hd now and clover can see it.  I have it hidden and use f3 to display it if I need it.

 

I'm currently booted in to the recovery hd.  Here is what's on my "Macintosh HD" right now:

I think I'm on to something.

 

If I do a reinstall from a USB installer created with createinstallmedia I am unable to start the second stage of the install; boot os x doesn't show in clover.

 

If I do a reinstall from "Recovery HD", clover sees the second stage install and I can continue on to complete the reinstall.

 

This could very well be a bug with the installer and not clover.

[Riley Freeman]

I did a clean install when 10.12.4 came out (I was running Clover 4035). After the first reboot I only had Install and Recovery options in the Clover boot menu. I picked the Install one and it resumed the installation and finished OK.

Hello. Thanks for the contributions on this site, as they've been helpful so far. Just a quick (hopefully) question:

 

I'm using Clover r4061 and have managed to auto boot my preferred volume at a given timeout. The one thing I cannot seem to do is skip past the first 'Clover Boot Manager' screen without having to first hit a key. The normal boot load select screen is fine. Can anyone give me guidance on how to enable a timeout on the first screen? Here's a couple photos of what I mean. Thanks in advance.

 

I'd like to be able to skip through this screen without having to hit a key:

 

 

This screen operates as normal with a set timeout and preferred volume:

Oh, you're probably right. If you drop the table it draws the windows logo, duh! Weird thing is that behavior differs between my computers, one shows a black screen with circle of circles, always, one shows the boot logo with circles, always, and the other draws the logo if booted from boot menu but not from clover. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....

I also have this problem.

When boot from WindowsBootloaderManager it shows oem logo.

But boot from Clover it only shows circles without oem logo.

 

However when in Windows Setup the oem logo showed but after the setup the oem logo disappeared.

 

PS:i havent drop the tables.

can you test gma950 and x3100? or can you talk me duallink in ioreg? 

 

i want to know duallink behavior works or not.

sandy and over graphic no need to duallink 0 part.

only need duallink 1 if have high resolution.

 

i checked old clover source. but It is confusing. i also checked ioreg old laptop(gma950 and x3100). both has AAPL01,DualLink = 0

 

in old source, used in combination both AAPL01,DualLink and AAPL00,DualLink.

 

i want to clear source more. can you help me?

 

also wonder your board id correctly like this 

0:100  0:000  Boot status=0

0:100  0:000  Running on: '15ZD960-GX3DK' with board '15Z960'

 

thanks in advance

 

add. how can you use edid value on old laptop?

 

add AAPL0X,override-no-connect? on old real mac, has AAPL01,EDID part.

This is my dump with very old Clover.  DarwinDumper_2.8.8_Clover_IA32_2578_SL_slice.zip

All works fine including Sleep/Wake.

LCD matrix=1440x900. As far as I understand it requires DualLink=1 while for laptops with 1280x800 there must be DualLink=0

MacBook-X3100.ioreg.zip

Second essential trick is to delete Device(CRT) from DSDT, else black screen. Clover does this by DSDT->Fixes.

 

Comp#3 is non-accessible now. I found very old report

DarwinDumper_2.5.7_Clover_X64_1235_Lion_D430.zip

To make it working I had to replace AppleIntelIntergratedFramebuffer.kext by old version from 10.6.

Only legacy clover use duet.

UEFI Clover use native uefi environment.

hw.busfrequency should return 100000000 (= 100 MHz). Your bus frequency is currently 96 MHz, which is probably causing your clock issues.

 

Here I have a question as well. So, hw.busfrequency returns "400000000" in my case, but in fact I did set BusSpeedkHz to "100000" in my config.plist.

 

Potential problem, or just cosmetic issue?

Cosmetic. 

We live with such values many years without any issue.

But the difference 10096 may be significant. You'd better use value that Clover will calculate automatically.

[bronxteck]

Slice can you please update the clover SVN compiled Binarys to latest trunk. 4061 still has a bug introduced in 4059 that breaks intel graphic which was corrected in 4062 and further refined in 4064.

Hi all I've installed Clover r4061 through Pandora's Box to my pen drive, but I did not understand one thing. When I select HFSPlus-64.efi the app shake and told me to use only one hfs driver. In fact, having a  better look, there is already a driver called VBoxHFS-64.efi with a nicer icon (I think all those are default driver??).

What is the best choice? ..and may I ask why?

And what's the difference between drivers64UEFI and drivers64? .. they aren't efi as well?

Thanks

 

FORGOT

to metiond that the installer start booting, but I receive a panic on "lapic error" or something similar...

[apianti]

VBoxHFS-64.efi is an open source driver that doesn't support all the features of HFS+ volumes, HFSPlus-64.efi is a driver extracted from Apple firmware. The open source driver is selected by default. The drivers folders are for different boots. You may not need additional drivers for legacy boot (drivers64 folder) because it is already present in the legacy clover firmware but you probably need more drivers when UEFI booting (drivers64UEFI folder). As for the error when booting, you have incorrectly configured.

Thanks Sir. I've downloaded Sierra through a VM and redone the installer. Selecting a configuration for HD4000 with high resolution display now Sierra is up and running on the ssd selected, OMG, incredible, awesome! Downloaded Xcode from my dev account and plugged my iPhone is only recognized on the only one USB 2 port available, but 3.0 ports aren't working, should I do something?
Also the audio did not show up, even though I would never have imagined the OS working so quickly. There's a way to make it in a working state? how you activate the audio.. is that possible? 

Thanks for the fantastic app, as a iOS dev I can image the big effort for the complexity you guys put on it!

Hi.

 

As for SMBiosDate. I saw this post on GitHub, as Pike said, all models' format should be mm/dd/yyyy, if mm/dd/yy, then it is assumed to be 19yy.

And thus I corrected platformdata.c.

 

Is Pike's theory right?

Wow, code there!  you assume that a date is relevant for something. I can confirm, as for something I worked on it, a date is important if read from a string. NSDate class (or the equivalent CFDate) takes care to translate it from an utc zone to the OS currently used (NSDateFormatter class), but to the end is still incomplete due to the missing "zone" part and I think should be like:

 

2017-04-30T01:42:57Z

 

like you can make sure by cat a plist file and read a date tag. Hope to no bore anyone, but this, I think is universally used by the entire world softwares as standard.
