Question for the Clover devs / Clover builders.

I have git cloned the CloverBootLoader repo but when i build it modifies the files from inside the repo (which i guess is expected) but is there a way i can prevent this?

Can i run the ./ebuild.sh command and append a directory where i want the output?

Or am i doing something wrong?

The .gitignore file has a list of items that are not to be included in source control.

This way git knows what files it needs to check for diffs, etc.

I suppose you could make a script, iterate each line in the .gitignore, use the line in a find command as a -path or -name item then do stuff with the results (such as delete them to clean the directory for archive purpose - or for diff purpose with tools that don't understand .gitignore).

You probably didn't setup your config.plist/Quirks section correctly...?

@Jief_Machak Can you make files for 10.6-10.12? I like to try.

Because now I use it with 10.13-10.16, it works fine.

thank-you

Make files with what ?

@Everyone : duplicated settings are now ignored from Quirks section. Which can lead to failed boot if you don't have these settings in the "Clover place" in section KernelAndKextPatches. You may need these keys. Adapt value to what you have in your Quirks section.

	<key>KernelAndKextPatches</key>
	<dict>
		<key>KernelPm</key>
		<false/>
		<key>KernelLapic</key>
		<false/>
		<key>KernelXCPM</key>
		<true/>
		<key>PanicNoKextDump</key>
		<true/>
	</dict>

use this efi : CloverX64-20201009102950-2fddd11-dirty-jief.zip It will panic at boot if you have 2 different values for the same setting.

Do NOT remove or modify yet the settings you have in Quirks section if it's working for now. I may need you to boot on a previous version to find a bug.

I know, "panic" is a bit extreme. I'm preparing proper warnings and messages about config.plist problems. Just not ready yet...

Here is a working EFI for my laptop based on the new changes above.

Clover is supposed to still be compatible, although probably not tested a lot.

So current CloverX64.efi is supposed to boot old version.

Yes. I think you just forget to delete SMCHelper.efi

No KP with your efi

If I understand well the latest commit:

Clover Quirks

KernelLapic ===> LapicKernelpanic

PanicNoKextDump ====> PanicNoKextDump
KernelXCPM ====> AppleXcpmCfgLock

KernelPm ===> AppleCpuPmCfgLock

Qurisk to remove:

CustomSMBIOSGuid

The new section KernelAndKextPatches in my config.plist is good or not ? Have à look to the spoiler.

Is "KernelXCPM", not "KPKernelXCPM". It's right in your config.plist.

Does it boot ?

Yes, I can boot with your efi posted here. Corrected my post: "KernelXCPM", not "KPKernelXCPM". It's a copy/paste error.

I know we have not begun to work on AMD yet but can anyone show me where we should have the kernel patches in clovers config.plist?

Kernel -> Patch

KernelAndKextPatches -> Patch

?

I have tested with Kernel->Patch and KernelAndKextPatches -> KernelToPatch all got freeze or instant reboot.

iCanaro · October 9, 2020

I wouldn't say a huge craze and be mocked by the dev :rofl: but besides aligning with the same setting the entries that are now double, for hardware from Z97 to older, is not that you need some OC quirks present in UEFI????

Spoiler

Jief_Machak · October 9, 2020

We'll take care of AMD soon. Please just hold on few days...

maclinuxG4 · October 9, 2020

please, i installe the new version clover R5123.pkg, and make trouble.

Make advertissement for all mac os before big sur, because the selection of boot isn't possible anymore (clover dispaly to adapt config.plist)

it is very important

for all mac os version, excepted big sur , we need to update at minimal the folder EFI and config.plist.

Thanks to all

Thansk to all

Please do not take offence.

Can you use a different translator please, that is near on impossible to read.
