Clover General discussion

[HmO]

And missing ACPI folder

[innerd]

Guys I need your help, I'm trying to debug a problem and the only variables remaining are a custom kernel and clover. When I try to boot to high Sierra with a custom kernel with the latest clover it hangs with a "kextd stall [0]: AppleACPICPU" message while if I use the old 4392 the pc boots. I have the same kexts in /kext/others and the same efi files in driver64uefi. What am I missing?

Different config, different ACPI files.

Make preboot.log by F2 key with old and with new Clover and compare.

How come there is no AptioMemoryFix in the new package?

 

It wasn't included with newer packages anymore. That's kind of the idea. To stick to default Clover drivers. If you have AptioMemoryFix installed already, and you don't check for installation any of the other Memory Fix drivers (such as OsXAptioFix3Drv), it will be kept installed. If you choose one of them, AptioMemoryFix will be removed (and replaced with whichever AptioFix you choose) in order to avoid conflicts.

strangely i can't install only clover without terminal command. 

i'm still in Beta1. So it's working for me because of this? ... to night I'll update to Beta 3 and see what's.. Anyway I consider only the root volume ("/") and not if you install Clover from another partition as from Maojave the Catalina partition is read/write in Beta 1 ... can be this the problem?

also i have a question. previous clover package have checked default driver. there is no default driver in new package. is it right?

No, the installer activate them by default if Clover was never installed, i.e. if ../Library/Preferences/com.projectosx.clover.installer.plist doesn't exist. Due to the fact that I changed something at least once you have to mark chekboxes. Next run will be ok.

The proof is by deleting com.projectosx.clover.installer.plist and you will see them activated. Little price for this migration.

 

P.S. my system works very well without any of the "Recommended drivers", those who once was "Mandatory".

You can see it in the Clover repository?

Ask the developer of your script to update it. drivers64/drivers64UEFI are no longer in use. It's written just few posts ago.

Missing drivers in ISO, only drivers-Off

I'll fix it tonight, I didn't even tried it, sorry.

Right! Also AptioMemoryFix is a fork of OsxAptioFix included and created in Clover. So later I'll port the changes... as soon as I have time.

I probably fixed makeiso.

That would be awesome!

 

No worries! As usual, no rush. Take your time. This needs to be done right, not fast.

I was also wondering what happened there. I installed 4983 on another machine with 4981 on it (so before the changes) and indeed, those mandatory drivers were not checked by default. This explains why. Thank you! I didn't know that. 

 

Also, I can confirm they are checked when reinstalling 4983, or upgrading to 4985, for example. So, we should be ok moving forward. Nice job!

I am a little confused. What is wrong with AptioMemoryFix? Why this .efi removed?

[Slice]

Nothing wrong. It just is not under our control.

@All

Take into account that the Clover is not full Hackintosh solution. It is a part of the world.

Take addition files from original sources.

OsxAptioFix3 was working until Mojave for me, but just few minutes ago I tested it in Catalina and it fail. Need a fix  (@Slice)

 

 

I need more information what is the fail.

Meanwhile AptioMemoryFix chooses slide value automatically while Fix3 uses value from user and default one is zero.

May be for Catalina zero value is not the best and you have to choose something like slide=128.

in beta3, still not works to install clover.

 

after remove /Library/Preferences/com.projectosx.clover.installer.plist

i can get default driver. thanks a lot

suggestion

old package makes drivers64UEFI and drivers64 folders.

it's useful when sort folders by name.

now folder name is

BiosDrivers 

UEFIDrivers

 

if sort folder by name, BiosDrivers is second, UEFIDrivers is last.

can we consider like before?

example DriversBIOS OR DriversUEFI.

[Slice]

If sort by name then Bios.. will be first, UEFI... will be second.

DriversBIOS ans DriversUEFI will be sorted exactly the same.

Yeah, I was thinking of that, too.

 

Ooor...another idea, maybe put them both under a global Drivers folder.

 

For example:

Drivers

    - BIOSdrivers

    - UEFIdrivers

 

Also, maybe a bit of cleanup on the BIOS drivers side would be nice to have, as well. For consistency. We're still mentioning "64-bit" in the installer for the BIOS drivers. Apparently I've missed that, too, since I'm only booting UEFI.

Yeah... I think he's referring to the fact that, with the new naming, since Drivers folders are separate, when you look under Clover folder, you'll see BiosDrivers at the beginning of the "list" and UEFIdrivers somewhere at the end. They won't be one after the other anymore.

 

 

But if we add them both under Drivers, then they will be, since they will be the only two sub-folders in that folder.

Yes, agree

Should be

drivers
-- BIOSdrivers
-- UEFIdriver
-- off

As well as in ISO and in PKG.

Hi @Slice

 

I don't try r4985. What about Clover installation on existing EFI Folder into Hard Disk or USB pen drive.

it's redundant, why not:

drivers
-- BIOS
-- UEFI
-- off

?

I mean a tree, subfolders... if we talk for the same thing

[Slice]

I am testing.

1.

Why installer said me

Theme 'cesium' (defined in config.plist) not found !
Using default theme 'embedded'

?

No. the theme is present!

2.

The installer kills folders "drivers64" and drivers64UEFI. Ok, as expected. But in this case I can't boot with older Clover. For example to search an mistake.

3. 

Clover installation doesn't depend on "Install on ESP". It does this even without the flag.

The package takes cares of the migration, and Clover will looks on old directories if new ones aren't found.

Old Clover doesn't know that your drivers are in a new location, can't expect this. New Clover knows to search in old directories.

May be better to not 'move' but 'copy' and leave old ones for old Clover? .. anyway this happen only if you copy them manually otherwise an old installer will recreate them..

@Slice should we make the repository intentionally not compilable until new changes will be ready.. otherwise a lot of people will compile and use it in the meantime....

I thought of that, too.  

 

The reason why I haven't mentioned it before is because it felt more confusing than the "longer" variant, for some reason.

 

So, whichever you guys decide. It's perfectly fine for me.

 

And...I don't think we need to close the repo. Otherwise people will start complaining about that! :))

 

Uhm..in my opinion, as long as this is still under development (there is no official release yet), it's everyone's obligation to take caution (meaning make a damn bootable USB drive, it's not that hard) so that they can boot back into the system in case they've tried a testing version and things didn't go quite the way they should. Or test on the actual USB instead of the main SSD.

 

When playing with fire, you need to wear protection. :))

 

That's just my opinion.

Heh, no. Those people have own responsibility on result. I will upload Release as soon as we decided finally what it should be.

Currently I booted with fresh installed 4985.

It will just rename 64-bit drivers folders and, on first install, you'll need to reselect your drivers. This is just when switching from versions older than 4983, to 4983 or above. On reinstall, all your previously selected drivers will still be there.

 

Also, if you use AptioMemoryFix, and you select one of the included OSXAptioFix drivers, AptioMemoryFix will be removed to prevent conflicts. If you don't choose anything, AptioMemoryFix will be kept.
