Clover General discussion

Slice · September 9, 2020

Tested Clover revision: 5122 (opencore_integration, commit 86f90ef0d) without success.

I excluded OcQuirks and written quirks into config.plist according to latest sample.

BigSur stopped as usual after [EB|#B:VAw]

More interesting is Mojave.

The full picture (with older Clover) looks like on photo

Spoiler

These lines came from Boot.efi Mojave version.

But with new Clover the process stopped after line "End ProcessOptions". So I may propose that the command "RegisterRestartDataProtocol" hanged.

It may happen because OC overrides some UEFI services.

I can't boot with new Clover because of this and can't boot with old Clover because of absent OcQuirks.

Jief_Machak · September 9, 2020

I don't understand why this "new" clover wouldn't boot Mojave. I barely touch the code. All the OC initialisation are in StartLoader11.

I've just tried to boot High Sierra Mojave and it worked. But of course, if you need AptioMemoryFix or OcQuirks, you need to put it back, even for this "clover".

If we'd like to keep this branch, we'll have to resolve this conflict where AptioMemoryFix or OcQuirks is needed to boot version 10, but has not not be loaded for 11. We can also decide to boot everything through OC, so AptioMemoryFix or OcQuirks will just has to be removed for any version.

Again, because I didn't know if it could work, or, even if it works, if we keep it that way, I didn't want to spend time solving that problem.

iCanaro · September 9, 2020

sorry if I intrude, but from my point of view, now that in Clover, in his config.plist and from the GUI to boot you can operate on the setting of ocquirks and openruntime, why ever use the valid AptioMemoryFix, but now a little outdated?
Isn't it better to focus on just ocquirks that can operate a bit with all the hardware?!

Jief_Machak · September 10, 2020

I don't really understand these OcQuirks.efi in Clover.

Consider "DisableSingleUser" for example. OK, settings are initialised in an OC struct somewhere. But if Clover doesn't call the boot process in OC, I guess that this settings has no effect.

So my question is : for people who currently has it with "regular" clover and 10.x version, for what setting do you need it ? If you remove it, what happens ?

Hi @Jief_Machak OcQuirks.efi beside Openruntime replace my old AptioMemoryFix. This is why, I use them to avoid error memory allocation for the kernel on my Z390 config. If I understand well.

I ask you several time if I've to remove too Openruntime.efi in /Drivers/UEFI for testing OpenCore_integration. Tell me.

Sorry, always my bad english :yes:

Default values are in config-sample.plist and it works almost for all without special tuning.

vit9696 introduced switchable quirks for the debug purpose or to boot real Macs.

Yes, keep it.

My question was : most (if not all) of these settings does nothing with "regular" Clover, the one that doesn't use OC, right ?

Matgen84 · September 10, 2020

Hi @Jief_Machak @Slice

I use git pull to update OpenCore_integration branch. But debug.log shows wrong date, wrong commit. What's going on ?

Thanks

Jief_Machak · September 10, 2020

Depending of the compilation command you use, the version information are not always updated. To be sure, delete Version.h and Build folder and recompile.

I do what you explain to me now.

I use this command: ./ebuild.sh --buildtarget=DEBUG. Because I see in build that default toolchain is Xcode8.

All quirks that enabled perform very useful actions to boot macOS.

Strictly speaking AptioMemoryFix == OpenRuntime+OcQuirks

AptioMemoryFix is somehow obsolete because new quirks was introduced.

With this command, Version.h is not updated, but it's created with the up-to-date info if missing.

So if you do

rm -f Version.h & ./ebuild.sh --buildtarget=DEBUG

you should have an always up-to-date version info.

fusion71au · September 10, 2020

Feeling nostalgic for booting old macOS on my legacy BIOS desktop (System 2, Ga-P55aUD3), I decided to test the latest release Clover r5122.

Good news: r5122 boots 10.7.5, 10.13.6 and 10.15.6 OK

Not so good news:

Clover r5120-5122 seems to have broken kext injection when booting Snow Leopard 10.6.8 ---> boot hang "failed to locate SMC driver"...

Clover boot logs

PS off topic: I can confirm the latest OC 0.6.1 is also able to boot 10.6.8, 10.7.5, 10.13.6, 10.15.6 to 11.0beta6 (USB installer and already installed Big_Sur) on the same system .

Slice · September 10, 2020

I am sorry but making symbolic method for patching I dropped support for 10.6. Ancient system -> ancient Clover.

chris1111 · September 10, 2020

For Booting Big Sur maybe we should go back with Clover Source Forge and ask @Zenith432 for a hand ?

My second entry is Options and 3rd is about Clover with Clover sign.

Send me your debug.log. It doesn't do that here, so I can't tell.

Clover entry can be absent with legacy boot so with virtual machine as it designed only for UEFI boot.

In the Clover GUI you may see second line of entries like tools entries. First one is to call Shell.efi and the second one with a Clover sign is for writing the boot entry /EFI/CLOVER/CLOVERX64.EFI into nvram to use as default boot entry

Sorry to come back to that but I'm intrigued. I boot UEFI, so I understand I should see this entry. For me, the clover is the about menu. Could someone send me a screenshot of where is it ?

"Clover" entry will be absent in virtual machine. It is for real boot.
