The debug log is successfully generated when no panic, when no random reboot.

With another compilation maybe... Because with PcdDebugPrintErrorLevel = 0x80000000, no log is generated at all. It's a feature.

You can check the value in AutoGen.c, line 353. Path = Build/Clover/RELEASE_GCC53/X64/rEFIt_UEFI/refit/DEBUG/AutoGen.c

OK, now I see slow boot and debug log was created even with RESET. Thanks!

plz check  no more plateform ID correct (get from hackingtools  from clover r5131 (Mar 19, 2021).

(  device -> properties  is set in my config.plist, iget 0x00000000 instead 0x19120001). for me i use special value 0x19120010

Show your config.plist

 

 

@Jief_Machak Tell me when are you ready for 5132 release.

Slice please tell me why CPU shows 4,01 GHz instead of 4.00 GHz ? Why this .01 fraction 

Thank you and for @Jief_Machak for your amazing work 

A CPU frequency is not round value. Can you show me preboot.log for this situation?

For your config.plist you should see 0x19120010

Where did you see other value?

[Slice]

@Jief_Machak

I may propose better config.plist for Clover/Qemu. Now it started up to [PCI Configuration begin]

it is  from imac17,1 of my father...i t  is work

@LIMITANT you can set CPU bus speed in your config if you want a reported round CPU frequency. Totally cosmetic but it'll do the job. If your CPU is meant to operate a multiplier of 100MHz (like most CPUs since Sandy Bridge), set the value to 100000 and you'll see.

 

No, it will be better to keep Bus Speed as automatic calculated (don't use Clover Configurator, it can't set "Automatic").

You may set Frequency MHz any value you like and see exactly same value in the "About this Mac".

I will commit tmo something and then ask the testers team for tests.

[Jief_Machak]

I've committed now.

This commit is a refactoring, as usual. Which means, report the least behaviour change, please, but DON'T modify your config to workaround.

The specific point I'd like to be tested, is custom entries and sub entries. If you have some of them configured, please test that it goes as usual.

Thanks.

What do you think about issue #376?

What do you think about issue #376?

Problem comes from this :

main.cpp:1597 calls
    StartEFILoadedImage(ImageHandle, LoadOptions, Basename(LoaderPath.wc_str()), LoaderPath.basename(), NULL);
and in StartEFILoadedImage (main.cpp:240), there is:
    loadOptionsW = SWPrintf("%ls %s ", LoadOptionsPrefix, LoadOptions.ConcatAll(" "_XS8).c_str());

Result is that the first arg is always the basename of the loaderpath. I don't know why it's like that.

 

Replacing main.cpp:240 by

      loadOptionsW = SWPrintf("%s", LoadOptions.ConcatAll(" "_XS8).c_str());

make it works for that case.

 

For what the basename as first parameter is needed ?

[Jief_Machak]

@MifJpn Do you have custom entries configured ?

M-m-m-m....

I never used custom entries and don't know details.

The name of the booter file is pass as first parameter for all boot non-osx boot. All Windows, Linux, Other boot.

 

So does Windows need the booter name in first parameter, Linux ?

[Slice]

I think no. Windows bootmgfw.efi is not needed in arguments. Linux grubx64.efi as well.

[Jief_Machak]

I removed the first load option.

Anyone with non-osx boot, please test.

Win okay here too

macOS Cata 10.15.7 sys and recovery also okay

I don't have Linux right now, so can't test that

The change only happen with non-osx boot.

No need to boot macOs and/or Recovery.

what the matter ?

It may be Debug set true.

I you tried my efi, it's a debug version = slower.

Yes Boot->Debug will make it slower, especially on some USB stick, but DEBUG version are non-optimized and the code is also inherently slower.

[kushwavez]

Always attach a debug log if you think something is wrong with the loader.
