F3 make windows hidden visible not BS Preboot 

@iCanaro

you have certainly a custom entry

 

EDIT***

Anyway I have OC to my other Big Sur SSD and I boot ok

Maybe the Big Sur Update today screw up my boot ??

i don't have custom entries
tried also on X570 and also there no problem.... now let's see if it resists big sur 11.3 beta

[iCanaro]

 likely that with big sur 11.3 you need some new kernel patch for CPU AMD

@ellaosx : I tried and my HS preboot doesn't show. Could you send me your preboot.log or debug.log ?

 

Hi @Jief_Machak

 

Log & Pics attached.

 

preboot.log shows that i have com.apple.installer\boot.efi in FF8FD963-C79F-32B2-A6FC-DF0F0B3CD90D. I mounted my preboot volume and that is where com.apple.installer\boot.efi resides.

If the solution is to delete that, do i have to? I mean, HS installer put it there by default.

Thank You

I will recompile clover from scratch and let you know
 

[iCanaro]

hack Z370 

 

Spoiler

 

[chris1111]

@Jief_Machak After recompile clover from scratch, Update Big Sur Beta 11.3

Preboot is show

The things I don't understand on my Other SSD Big Sur the boot is from Volume DATA and is only boot from OpenCore, this entry is not show from Clover ?

See on right screen shot there is only one entry and its Recovery HD , if I boot from OpenCore I have other entry Volume Data

Some changes are not committed. So try my efi and send me preboot.log

[Jief_Machak]

Things are going in circle because we are not going step by step.

What's efficient to help solve a bug :

- use the efi I've sent. If you're using BootLoaderChooser, just unzip in your Clover folder. Launch my efi, generate preboot.log if you're Boot/Debug is false in your config.plist.

- send me preboot.log or debug.log. The name of the log file has evolved. It should be the date followed by the name of the efi file.

- if you can : DO NOT TRY TO WORKAROUND. If my efi doesn't work as expected. I need you to keep the same configuration so we can try again.

 

 

What's that target of this modification I'd like you to test ? It's to auto-hide any redundant partition without the need to use "Hide" in config.plist. For any macOs before BS, you can boot via Preboot or directly. In this case Preboot partition must be hidden. For BS, main partition booting is removed. Only Preboot is kept.

Hi @Jief_Machak

Using BootLoaderChooser, I test CloverX64-2021-02-03-09-02-49-fa0bdcd-dirty-jief.efi (Z390 config, Big Sur 11.2 RC 20D64). Works fine 

EDIT: same issue as before, debug.log generate wrong date and hours !

@ellaosx I have a notification that you sent a message "Clover GUI did not appear", but can't see that message... Try this instead : CloverX64-2021-02-03-09-58-13-fa0bdcd-dirty-jief.zip

@Matgen84 No need to re-test. It was just a null pointer guard forgotten (not every firmware react to that).

PS : @ellaosx If GUI doesn't appear, set Boot/Debug in your config.plist and send me the log.

@Matgen84 @Dmitriy85 I still see your post notification in my emails, but can see it on the forum. Is there a bug? Also means I can't get your attachment...

I deleted my post. I tried booting without the OpenRuntime.efi driver. It works with a flash drive, but not with an SSD. It was just an experiment2021-2-3_9-43-49_BOOTX64.EFI.log

Could you try the efi I've posted last ?

I'd like to know if all menu entries are displaying correctly.

Thanks.

@Jief_Machak I delete my post because I can boot Big Sur 11.3 Beta with your dirty efi file + latest Lilu release (and his plugins). 

While the 11.2 20D64 update to 11.3 Beta, it went well. I was having trouble starting Big Sur (stuck on Clover GUI). It requires more investigation between now and tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

i confirm, for  sierra and mojave, preboot macos are not allow.

if i press F3, there are in the list, with no icone.

 

no selection of preboot.

 

i reserve back to have normal boot

Edited February 3, 2021 by maclinuxG4

[Jief_Machak]

for version before BS, preboot is automatically hidden (at least I try to !).

So that part is ok.

What’s wrong is “no icon”.

Log please.

Hi @Jief_Machak

I deleted my previous post because im lacking preboot.log

Anyway.... tried the efi file where you quoted me and issue still exist (preboot is still showing in HS)

@ellaosx What you see is an install preboot, not the main preboot. The main preboot, called in your log "Boot Mac OS X from Macintosh HD via Preboot", was rightfully automatically hidden.

That said, the entry "Boot Mac OS X Install for Macintosh HD via Preboot" that you can still can be a real installer bootstrap to something you are installing (there probably is only macOS update that uses that method). That's why you can see it.

BUT it can also be a leftover from the Apple installer that points to an non existing dmg file. And this is something that was never handled in Clover. I remember to regularly mount my preboot partition to delete the "com.apple.installer" folder.

To avoid having to do that, I improved the code that detects installer bootstrap folder on preboot partition.

You can try this : CloverX64-2021-02-04-17-04-31-333b6ce-jief.zip or compiled the latest version from github.

Issue is if you have Big Sur and High Sierra on same machine you have (preboot BS High Sierra icons)

and if you have Yosemite and Big Sur you have probably  (preboot BS Yosemite icons) not test Yosemite but High Sierra Yes I have preboot High Sierra Icons for Big Sur
