I do choose UEFI only

I've only explained you why this happen, this always happened..

[bronxteck]

ah ok but old clover installer used to save your driver choices so that on next clover update it would remember what you chose previously and you did not have to reselect or disable choices but maybe I'm looking at it wrong. it could just be that it does not detect my HFSplus.efi so it installs v-box driver. before it would know I had hfsplus and not instal the v-box hfs

Try the script attacched if is good for you. It dinamically decide if a translation is present and if not will remove "_title" and or "_description" for you.

 

buildpkg.sh.zip

 

Good work!

Look, please, why drivers64 can't be separately unchecked?

I see no relevant changes in Clover between these revisions but I see in your logs

0:302  0:018  Loading CSMVID~1.EFI  status=Success

And video driver is not detected.

You have to reinstall all drivers64UEFI. And probably repair FS on the partition ESP.

I knew I wasn't crazy lol

it also looks like the installer does not remember your choice selections any longer.

another case... you also do not have a choice to NOT install drivers64 when you are only installing for clover UEFI drivers64 folder gets transferred always.

I had asked the same thing

[XLNC]

sure ! [mention=112217]Slice[/mention]

btw i am now using the latest clover version and it boots to clover boot menu fine but now the new issue is , it doesnt proceed after the OsxAptioFixDrv override message .

it dont even show ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

i tried all other aptio fixes like OsxAptiofix2Drv , OsxAptiofix3Drv , AptioMemoryfix etc and they all gets stuck at the same point 

any suggestions ?

here is my debug log :

 

debug.log

 

Can anyone take a look at my issue ?

 

It doesnt proceed after this :

Hi

 

Unfortunally, I can't help you.  For those who can do it, can you give Clover's version number. If the error occurs on a USB pen drive or SSD/Hard Disk and which macOS version? And if the message appears during an installation or on a disk that already has an OS....

 

[arsradu]

Hi guys,

 

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before (at least internally, if not on the forum), but...is there any advantage on using Sourceforge over Github? Cause...SF seems really unreliable recently. And I was thinking if it's maybe the time to switch to Git entirely. What do you think?

 

I'm not familiar with the details of what this potential move would involve. So, please, forgive me if I'm thinking this way too lightly. But I was just thinking about this since SF seems really slow and unreliable recently.

i feel like this might be something people with more experience could help you with. I took a look at the log you provided. But...nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I could be wrong though.

 

So, I'm willing to take a closer look at this (even though I might not be able to find anything suspicious, so don't get your hopes up too high) if you can:

1. remove all private information from your config.plist (SMBIOS serials and RT Variable serials).

2. upload your entire Clover folder for analysis.

 

I'm thinking this is something which can be fixed from config. But I don't wanna speak until I can see what exactly we're dealing with.

Ok I did it, try those changes:

replace Clover/CloverPackage/package/Distribution with this:Distribution.zip

replace Clover/CloverPackage/package/buildpkg.sh with this: buildpkg_Debug.sh.zip (rename it as the original please). This is a debug version to let you see how behave with all the choices visible.

 

How behave with these changes:

 

mandatory drivers for legacy Clover (AppleImageCodec, AppleUITheme, AppleKeyAggregator etc.. but not the optional ones like Grubxxx etc.) starts selected only if UEFI.only is not selected and the Clover package was never run on that partition. Or they start selected if UEFI.only is not selected and the choice(s) was previously selected (that means users already choose them in past).

You can disable each drivers as you wish.

 

To fully test what I've done you should remove /Library/Preferences/com.projectosx.clover.installer.plist of the target volume you want to test.. to see "before and after" and  if all is what do you expect (for this use the buildpkg_Debug.sh)

 

If you like my changes then replace buildpkg.sh with this: buildpkg.sh.zip that is just the same as the debug version but it hide Drivers32/Drivers64 if UEFI.only is selected.

This sounds exciting! And it's actually something that has been suggested on the forum before.  This should help new users select only compatible/non-mutually exclusive drivers.

If and when SVN comes back online...if these changes are approved and pushed, I'm actually interested to give it a try.  From what I can understand, it sounds promising.

no need to wait, if you already have the Clover's source, just replace the files and test it. If you want to go back just delete replaced files and call svn up after cd into Clover

Thank you, I had already tried deleting the Drivers64UEFI folder, and even the whole EFI but it was still failing to load the driver. Now I did a quick format, reinstalled Clover, restored my files and it's working fine again.

I had no problem with svn during this week and now.

All is good except XhciDxe. It seems to be not installed if UEFI-only. 

We will propose that it always supported by UEFI BIOS or we hope users are able to not set UEFI-only?

Well, now it works....more or less.

For example, right now, when I'm trying to download the edk2 sources, I got this error (not from the beginning, but after a while): E000054: Error running context: Connection reset by peer

 

And this was a blank page for most of the day today: https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/

Again, now it works. But..not reliably.

 

I'm guessing you already have most of the sources locally, on your computer. So..for small files it's probably ok. But when you're trying to recreate the work environment...it seems to be losing connection.

Could also be a server/country specific issue. I'm guessing they have different servers for different countries.

By the way, at least in my experience, Github was a better alternative to SF. Would it be too difficult to migrate to Git?  

 

 

Update: now it's down again. In browser I get this:

 

And in Terminal, I get this:

me too. small file change is no problem. but if delete clover folder and download clover again from svn, connection will lost. they block me to access sf site. i can't access any sf site. after spend some time, i can access sf site. i don't know why suddenly happen. there was no problem before. strange

it's ebuild.sh, XhciDxe is in the wrong place I guess, or is needed for both UEFI and legacy Clover?. if the second case we need a trick to produce two sub packages with the same content. Let me know..

just installed CLOVER rev. 4528. But when i reboot, it still shows rev. 4525, also in the log it states to 4525:

 

0:100  0:000  Starting Clover revision: 4525 on American Megatrends EFI

 

But CLOVER PrefPane shows this:

Seems Legacy r4528 is working properly here, only I got no injected kexts version info but it's not mandatory. Thanks.

I may propose that you installed CLOVERX64.EFI but booted from BOOTX64.EFI or even bootmgfw.efi
