Clover General discussion

SavageAUS · October 24, 2020

Here we have it folks. Updated my AMD rig and boy was that easy. Using @iCanaro kernel patches and from the work of @Jief_Machak it was super simple. BootloaderChooser has been a great help in all my recent testing.
Here is debug log from a boot to Big Sur (Can provide log for Catalina if needed but it boots fine)
debug.log

Spoiler

I would like to hide these drives but i am having an issue, as you can see i have a Windows 10 custom entry (bottom image) after arch linux. I know i can turn off scanning for entries which will get rid of these but it also gets rid of Big Sur as i cannot get that one to work with a custom entry.

Yes, detached state is ok. You are at the last commit. Good.

I started and started HS leaving the kexts in EFI to the bare minimum

Yes, that's always the way to go : strip down to the minimum and build up. Well done.

Thanks for letting us know.

@PG7 : are you there ? Could we diagnose your bug ?

Thank you always, Jief.
I don't have Mojave.
However, there is something I would like to confirm.
I'm recursively not working by default with "git pull && git fetch".
I used "git pull --recurse-submodules && git fetch --recurse-submodules".
The result of "./buildme" is as follows.

@Jief_Machak plz send by by message the spefic rclover5125_oem.pkg from this https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/commit/70988228c43bccdbf2bb71acc5d708b70f9872fc

i need to assure that on mojave:

-investigaste, because some kext load seem e trunk

-error kernel that i haven't before

-sounds restricted on this kext.

Hi @Jief_Machak,

I am trying to override the name of the preboot volume being displayed in Clover GUI and it seems it does not work, do you think the new selection logic to display preboot volume and hide the main volume in the Clover GUI might override the custom entry defined in config.plist?

naiclub · October 24, 2020

I want to ask if now anyone has installed the full bigsurbeta10 with Clover2125. Have you recently been successful?

Hi,

Don't think so. I've just tried.

For my information, why are doing it with a custom entry, instead of a .VolumeLabel.txt at volume root ?

I don't do pkg. I don't know what is "rclover5125_oem.pkg". I know that 5125 is not that commit.

You can get a Clover efi file at specific commit here : https://github.com/jief666/CloverCommits. I don't remember a change in drivers, so you can just drop the efi file in your Clover folder.

Why boot into bigsur? It was 10:13 instead positions bigsur.

I guess you got the same problem as @iCanaro. Re-create your preboot entry in your preboot partition.

maclinuxG4 · October 24, 2020

hi bad new jief

i try 4 of dirty version:

First, i couldn't reproduice them including last version.

Second, i use final install (compile clover, then clover install) and install as classic.

( and during 10 days, i did get internal sounds without kernel error in system.log)

but now yes ? how to find this ?

three there is a potential delta between dev (dirty version) that valide, and final version.

So it is important out make and check again tha no software regression are detected.

it is not BS, but Big CHallenge

I have not tried yet but will do when I get a chance or when we see release.

MacKonsti · October 24, 2020

Hi everyone, thanks to @Jief_Machak and @iCanaro and everyone for your contribution.

Am I right to understand that we still have problems with booting previous macOS(X) versions with Clover?

Perhaps we could focus getting out a stable, pre-OpenCore build that fixes too the issues I have been reading (and trying to understand) in the last 2 pages... together with the patch for target device thing reported?

I know everyone is hot off to boot Big Sur but did you consider the possibility that the final release in a few days may again differ from this latest Beta 10 and there will still be yet more effort to re-understand what's happening?

Just to remind you guys that a nice, stable Clover pre-OpenCore for the rest of us would be really appreciated if it could be built and provided as an official release on GitHub... including the bugfixes reported lately for Mojave or High Sierra for example.

Many thanks to everyone!

Just for so everyone knows. I fixed the broken TgtBridge in ACPI patch in release 5123. For me, this is the final pre-oc release for people who won't jump to BS. In that version, you can still use AptioMemoryFix or OcQuirks.

If there is still some problem in that version, we'll fix it.

@everyone who will stay with a pre-OCversion, please test and report.

@MacKonsti We will make a package with a "Final pre-OpenCore" release. Just give us some time. We are not sure yet that there is no problem in that version.

MacKonsti · October 24, 2020

A big thank you to you @Jief_Machak and everyone here, too. Yes please do check for other pre-BigSur and pre-OpenCore issues, as I have read in the previous pages there was an issue with Mojave and High Sierra, correct? It was fixed by @iCanaro if I am not mistaken? That would be great if we could include those, too.

iCanaro · October 24, 2020

solved by me no for sure i'll just provide debug log
and use clover compiled with latest commits

That was because of a bug in a feature that doesn't exist in 5123.

in the last week he's done an incredible job :thumbsup_anim:
and with great patience towards all of us who are not co-coders or developers, but simple enthusiasts and providing BootLoaderChooser which is invaluable, info and advice for what he could understand from our problems to help him provide serious debugging on which to work

MacKonsti · October 24, 2020

I did not mean to offend anyone, apologies for the mistake @Jief_Machak and @iCanaro it just was complicated to follow the talk with the Mojave issue and the commits etc. etc. but you can see that I give credits to both, thanks for solving it Jief.

That's fine !

@MacKonsti I put a smiley to show that was funny, not offensive. You're absolutely right to give credit to people who made a lot of tests for me. At least @Matgen84 @iCanaro @mifjpn @SavageAUS. Sorry if I omit someone.

@iCanaro @Matgen84 Thanks.

@everyone Have a look at my proposition to organize beta-tests, so we have less work and better quality releases !

slightly slower than the last commit you posted I always encounter the same problem - Preboot disk's preboot is repeated on both partitions I have BigSur installed twice for testing and the names are different but it always only shows the name of one in the two preboot!

I changed the machine to not have all those disks and to be able to make a mess I leave 2 prints of the Clover boot image to see the name he repeats

.VolumeLabel.txt at the volume root sounds like and excellent solution, didn't know it existed. Will try, thank for the suggestion!

It is a great solution unless you want to turn off scanning for volumes then it will be hidden unless a custom entry exists.

what's your problem ? here I found the BigSur beta10 installer solution to stay on the gray screen with the mouse pointer!

- Solution Language to be used is US English in my case I use FR "french" where even in OpenCore it was the same but with the US language the installation goes without having this error!

here I have several Hackintosh and where several HP between Laptop and All IN One I tested the installation and got it without problems even on a SandyBridge Laptop HD3000 that certainly still doesn't have a formula to activate this Graph my only problem is with the two All In One HP Envy Recline that neither with the OpenCore nor with the Clover I can install the BigSur directly through the USB installer,

I was only successful in opening the Beta10 Installer in the Beta9 system and sending the installation to another SSD and then I managed to do everything for Clover! the error is that when i launch the USB installer i get the first phase after it restarts and at the second boot where there should be a 29 minute count it just restarts without a kernel panic! always getting this syntoma
