TgtBridge was fixed for 5124. The 5129 only add DMG files booting, needed for Big Sur recovery. 5 hours ago, Dmitriy85 said: I found duplicate parameters in the config. By default, the DMAR drop is enabled in the config and the DisableIoMapper quirk is enabled, they both perform the same function Well spotted. My bad ! We will remove the quirk and keep Clover original way, I think, if they are strictly identical. I'll do that after the integration of a new config.plist parser that will be able to give clear warning like "you are using DisableIoMapper, use DropTables instead". That way, we'll avoid some panic on this forum. 5 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/page/1021/#findComment-2749587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem maybe in the boot.efi included in BaseSystem.dmg. It has to re-mount the volume with his own drivers. Probably won't accept FAT32 volume.

Jief_Machak Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 For those who are reading the few last posts, I realise that I confused PluginType and TgtBridge. I don't know how, but @MacKonsti ask about PluginType and I answered about the TgtBridge bug. Hence the confusion. So let's restart fresh : is there a bug about PluginType that needs to be fixed. Can some try to change this value and see if it has an effect ?

Even is the message is not "via preboot", Big Sur has (technically you can deactivate security feature, I heard, but not advisable) to be booted via preboot. And Clover does nothing special about USB volume. At EFI time, volumes are just volumes whatever they technically are (USB, SATA, NVMe, etc...) 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/page/1021/#findComment-2749663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal experience has been as follows: if I try to clean install big sur not using via preboot, the installation will not be completed taking me to this error at the last phase: too many corpses being created..... if I install using via preboot, I'm able to clean install Big Sur. Then, if I boot via preboot, everything works well, instead if I boot normally (not using via preboot) I have problems with the App Store being not able to download / install any app. not a big problem to enable the via preboot volume to be shown at clover screen and boot the system from it everytime. Could it be possible to, for example, automatically selecting it as predefined boot volume avoiding the user to manually modify the config to show it etc? I was just thinking that if a "normal user" does not know that is necessary to select the via preboot volume, it could be tricky to install big sur and boot it not having problems with the App Store and OTA updates for example. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/page/1021/#findComment-2749665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kushwavez Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) You can specify config.plist/GUI/DefaultBootVolume and Timeout for automatic boot. Write "Preboot" to DefaultBootVolume if you have just one system with Preboot. If you have more then put the UUID to DefaultBootVolume EDIT: @Jief_Machak in my case the "main" partition is not automatically hidden.

I tried to install big sur several times since clover 5126 with every release not being able to do it. Maybe is a problem with my config? I always manually update clover copying and pasting the single files and keeping the config , DSDT and Kexts between the updates. Should I make a new config starting from the sample in 5129 release?
