I don't know what is the problem you encountered with plugin-type. Clover has no related changes.

 

Thank you for taking a look at this.  You've done an amazing job with Clover and it has served me very well.  I appreciate everything that you and the Clover Team have done during this amazing journey. It's been a great ride!  Thank you!

Hello, tonyx86.

I really feel your enthusiasm for making Clover better.

Thank you, but you are giving me way too much credit.

[deeveedee]

This is my last post about this (I promise - some of you may be almost as relieved as I am).  If you are adventurous, experiment with this AT YOUR OWN RISK.  During testing of my HackMini8,1 while going back and forth between r5122 and r5127 and having the "wrong" SSDT>PluginType setting, I experienced a catastrophic SSD crash requiring erase and restore from TimeMachine.  I cannot say with certainty that the crash was caused by the incorrect power management settings.

 

I am now testing with OC 0.6.5 and the modified SSDT-PLUG.aml attached.  The results are similar to using Clover r5127 with SSDT>Generate>PluginType and without SSDT>PluginType=1.  With this modified SSDT-PLUG, my Geekbench 5 multi-core benchmarks are consistently higher AND my low CPU multipliers are 10, 11 and 12 (not limited to 13).  Note that I lose Energy Saver options, so this is a trade-off.  Again, TEST AT YOUR OWN RISK.

 

Note that my rig is running with HPET DISABLED via ACPI patch (HPET._STA=0 just like a real MacMini8,1).  See my reasoning here.  I'm not sure if this affects these results.  I also use RtcMemoryFixup.kext with custom rtcfx_exclude range (with CLOVER, I did not use "Fix RTC").  I also have both DDR4 memory banks populated (I have found that single-bank performance is less).

 

	CLOVER R5122 (OpenRuntime) with Generate->PluginType	CLOVER R5127 (OpenRuntime) with Generate->PluginType	CLOVER R5127 (OpenRuntime) with SSDT-PLUG.aml (PluginType=1)	CLOVER R5127 (OpenRuntime) with Generate->PluginType and PluginType=1	OC 0.6.5 with PluginType=0 (see modified SSDT-PLUG.aml attached)
Energy Saver Preferences	5 settings available	2 settings available	5 settings available	5 settings available	2 settings available
GeekBench 5 multi-core benchmark	5500+	5600+	5500+	5500+	5600+
Lowest CPU multiplier	13	10	13	13	10,11,12,13

When running OC 0.6.5, OC correctly injects my FakeSMC_CPUSensors.kext (6.26-357-gceb835ea.1800).  CLOVER r5127 does not properly inject this kext (from E/C/k/O), so I am unable to run HWMonitor.app to show CPU.temps/clocks with r5127 unless I install kexts in /Library/Extensions.  OC does not have this problem.

*** The attached SSDT-PLUG patch is specific to my ACPI (_SB_.PR00).  If you use this patch, make sure it is compatible with your ACPI ***

Happy new year everyone !

 

@tonyx86 if you follow the link in my signature to set a github repo, I can help understand the difference ; why HWMonitor.app doesn't work.

It's supposed to fix the briefly garbled Apple logo at startup, something that used to be called the "2nd stage boot glitch" in the Yosemite years and later. It causes something like this on screen for like 1/10th of a second:

 

Initially, it was addressed by a binary patch of IOGraphicsFamily kext. Since then, WEG has taken care of this though you may still see a very minor glitch, shorter than what most people ever experienced before the fix.

 

Name of the patch is arguable, some people see 4 to 5 logos, others see 12 or 13!

This is the Apple's bug presents on a real MacBook. So it is not hackintosh problem and should not be cured.

"This is the Apple's bug presents on a real MacBook. So it is not hackintosh problem and should not be cured."

 

@Hervé - It's actually very simple - the problem is not exclusive to hacks and doesn't necessitate any further Clover fixes/revisions.  I speak 'Slice' - let me know if you need further translation.

You lost me there @Slice.

 

You mentioned the glitch yourself several times in the past and referred to it with your "8 apples" denomination...

Yes, I was fighting with the glitch sometimes ago. But now I think it doesn't matter.

Well, the question was, what is "Apple Eight" Kernel patch for. And that's what is for… so, I guess it can appear on hackintoshes although I never had it

Just forget it.

Hi @Slice @Jief_Machak @iCanaro and all users

 

I can't boot macOS Big Sur 11.2 Beta 2 with Clover r5128 commit a9778cd8d + Latest Lilu Plugins release (only Lilu is beta)

Need help

@Matgen84 if you ally your EFI, without serials, I can see to modify it according to my ideas and see if it then works to you

@iCanaro My EFI Folder attached (latest r5128 commit). The r5127 EFI folder works well, can boot BS 11.2 Beta 1
 

EDIT: Maybe, I've got a problem to update correctly opencorepkg submodule with Buildme option (Update and Update reset). What script do you use ?

I see that the size of clover and boot is 1.5Mb instead of 1.3Mb
have you tried to download and use the released 5128 and not the one you compiled?!

 

define SSDT in SortedOrder

@iCanaro Thanks. Ok for SortedOder. What is RestrictEvents.kext ? 

 

Instead of release, I use my own r5128 latest commit using git reset --hard for submodule. The head is good now for OC. I build and I can boot Big Sur 11.2 Beta 2

  I've got a problem to update correctly opencorepkg submodule with Buildme option (Update and Update reset). What script do you use ?

mkdir $HOME/src

cd CloverBootloader
./buildme 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
git -f -f -d -x
./buildme XCODE8

that's what i pinned on about the scripts to use

[Matgen84]

@iCanaro I use the same method for build Clover.
 

Except that I can't use git -f -f because git don't know -f option 

Always synchro issue with OC

I think git fetch and git pull are surplus. Correct me if I am wrong.

I'm trying to help a friend. I've already patched his dsdt and everything is ok, except when I put SSDT.aml by pikeralpha's script for PM, so I get a KP. Can you help me, please?

it seems obvious to me that if you add SSDT X PM and it goes into kernel panic, if SSDT has been created correctly, in the EFI at the very least it is wrong SMBIOS and who knows what more.... since you don't know what hardware is and you don't have any EFI to be able to evaluate
