[LockDown]

EmuVariableUefi.efi still exist in package. Is there still use of this?

[MICKHAEL]

Hi @Slice, advised me to report to you
is something about power management

attaching 2 debug.log and screen
1. debug_OK.log

2. debug_NK.log (here I got tx_flush errors)

Hello @ellaosx.

There was a bug on the Intel side that a valid NVRAM could not be specified in the Intel 300 series of chipsets a while ago. After that, it turned out to be a problem on the Intel side, and SSDT-PMC was created.

At that time, I could not turn off the power without using EmuVariableUefi.efi before solving the problem. It may be better to have an option that can be avoided.

Thank you.

 

I thought OpenRuntime.efi solved this but i guess not.

Thanks for the info

it doesn't depend on openrutime
resolves with special SSDT

@Slice One more thing 

bdmesg can be used in Big Sur and other macOS

Testing by me works

@everyone : if you want to compile the latest commit, you have to recompile the basetools. Otherwise, you'll get a segmentation fault.

"source edksetup.sh" and "Make -C BaseTools", I think should work...

Thanks  No problem to build lastest commit. User can also select BuildMe script option for Basetools before build Clover (after update of course).

@Jief_Machak @Slice Since commit 1148542 (Buildpkg and other files): the Clover EFI Backups is created on desktop instead of root (as before) even on Mojave (screenshot). I think the same thing happen on all macOS version. Is there a solution. Please.

in my opinion it's much better to back up on the desktop than in root
maybe you could opt into the user root

This is the solution for all macOS because you can not backup on ROOT for Big Sur and its better because your not need the Read/Write disk for all macOS's

you can use the Package with a read-only disk now

EDIT ***

The portion of the Backup script was created in 5 min of course which can be improved but it is a quick and functional solution for the moment

Hi

Update to Clover 5126 went smoothly on my AMD desktop (FX 8350).

The update from 5122 to 5125 or 5126 on my HP Envy laptop (i7-4700MQ, Graphics HD4600) and latest Catalina version is not working.

I get to the OS select screen, but after selecting MacOS nothing happens. The laptop just hangs at the OS selection screen.

If I choose Windows, that just works, so Clover seems to do something.

 

Any idea?

Thanks!

it seems to me more fruit of the case that you work without having done anything

you must integrate the entire new Quirks section into the config.plist and configure it for your hardware; then change memory manager and use openruntime and update all kexts

 

and often, not everything works right away, it takes time and patience to fix

I see the picture you need wait . . . .  after 3 IOKIT stall (60s) Maybe System boot after 3 60 sec

let me know?

hello
yes, its boots after IOKIT timeout, but that problem persists... one boot okay and next one again with these errors...
what do you advise me to try?

Change memory manager to what? No other selection except for openruntime isnt it?

Thanks for this improvement, it's great  I understand this solution is because backup on root for Big Sur is impossible (R/W permission). But Clover Backup's can be stored in /Documents instead of /Desktop. For the moment, all the limitations of the number of backups are invalidated. It would be nice to turn them back on, if that's possible. What do you think, Bro !

I should have given more background. I have both OpenCore (0.6.3) and Clover (5126) working on my AMD FX hackintosh. So I am aware of the Quirks section in the Clover config.plist.

On the HP laptop I also have a working OpenCore setup and Clover 5122. For the update to Clover 5126, I did adjust the Quirks section of the Clover config.plist and used the same settings that are working in my Opencore setup. All kexts are updated.

Will check again on memory manager tonight --> I assume you mean I should delete the Aptioxxx fixes?

 

Any other hints are welcome. I still like Clover bootloader, but it's getting hard to configure without good instructions.

Please let me know if you found out what is causing this. 

My Notebook 2 also having this X86PlatfromPlugin stall, and only booting after trying again. It's clearly some misconfiguration in config.plist, but I don't have that notebook recently so I can't debug it out now.

Also I do have tx_flush msgs always, so I think that's completely normal and not related to our stall.
