Clover General discussion

iCanaro · June 20, 2021

I found peace :angelo_non: with this KernelToPatch for AMD 17H 19H:

No waring at boot and the same using validator
I can boot mojave, catalina, big sur 11.4 e 11.5 and maybe can boot high sierra, but i have no way to test it there anymore

CLOVER_AMD_17_19_H_35Patch_HS_MOJ_CAT_BSg.plist.zip

It also starts BigSur by deleting the 3 patches that caused the warnings :isterico:

Maybe we need some explanation on this point and Clover's ability to convert OC patches.

I would also be interested in this.

More specifically, I am trying to convert OpenCore's IOHIDFamily patch to work in Clover (fixes broken USB Mouse and Keyboard function in Big Sur on certain legacy machines)...

As you can see, the Find entry for the above patch is left empty so Clover is not happy 😔.

You can try the patch if your attached USB mouse or keyboard stop working when you try to update your system to Big Sur/Monterey (Apple removed legacy USB support on old hardware and someone noticed it still worked if macOS was booted in single user mode. The patch forces single user mode so your USB HID devices still work). From Dortania's troubleshooting guide for Big Sur...

"For certain legacy systems, you may notice that while the USB ports work your HID-based devices such as the keyboard and mouse may be broken".

Hello everyone.
I hope it's because of my mind ...
With this commit (f424a77c25027e4a5395fdb57287affae51f4ac5), I feel like Monterey has taken a long time to start. (I feel that the seek bar under the Apple mark does not stretch easily after the characters of Verbose boot are displayed.)
I don't use C3 Latency at all, and Big Sur is the same time as before, so shouldn't I care too much?

Thank you.

Hi @Slice and everyone, thanks again for your continuing efforts.

WIth a well-working Lenovo S145-14iWL configuration and Clover r5136 used for some time with Catalina, I decided to update to Big Sur. I thus downloaded the installer and let the system update like a real Mac, since my boot process was now smooth.

However, I noticed that after updating to 11.3.1 and then to 11.4.0 that Clover r5136 did not show the correct boot icon, or detect the correct partition or container (or whatever it is the name) and I was forced to press F3 to reveal drives and use the "Boot Mac OS from Preboot" entry.

So I decided to do a clean installation, erased NVMe via Ubuntu and with Big Sur USB installer and same Clover configuration + r5136 I did the installation effort. I had hopes this would be fixed, but no; I am still forced to use F3 and select Preboot entry.

As I do want to remain with Clover because I finally managed to make this a working hack, what kind of logs may you need to help me debug this problem?

Does it have to do with Scan key setting? Do I need a Custom Entry for Preboot, then?

For Big Sur, is it expected this Preboot to be used? It may have been replied many pages ago, so I apologise if I missed it, but your help is appreciated. Thank you.

You will need to create a custom entry for the preboot entry and rename it to what you want.

I agree @SavageAUS but I have a hard time making the Custom entry appear... this method quoted by many places (reported in Clover's Git Hub issues) does not seem to work on my hack.

Has anyone managed to successfully create a Custom Entry with latest Clover e.g. r5136? Please can you either point me to your message or share your method? When looking for "Preboot" information in the log, it does produce results for ApfsContainerUUID, ApfsFileSystemUUID and APFSTargetUUID but using the 2 latter onces for a custom entry does not display the custom icon Thanks in advance.

@Slice if you kindly check the conversion of the patches from OC to Clover, I did it from scratch a couple of times, checked and double-checked but no macOS starts on my AMD, it seems that the patches are not loaded

CLOVER_patches_17H19H_Monterey_beta1.plist OC_patches_17H_19H.plist

this should be the correct table for the conversion

so I hope I did something wrong; otherwise it needs some tweaking of the patches, or something to fix in Clover to load / activate the patches :thanks_speechbubble:

There is common mistake as I already mentioned.

For Clover Find string can't be zero length. It length must be the same as Replace length.

If you are not going to search something other then the procedure start then use Find = <00 > and MaskFind = <00 >. See length of Replace. And MaskReplace=<FF> if you want to replace.

You also may restrict RangeFind as 10 to speedup the search.

And sure that Enabled=Yes is converted to Disabled=NO, and the line can be omitted as default.

this obviously must be done, but I didn't understand what is meant by:

this was something I had already tried when it was explained, and in fact there are no more warnings, but then as I said earlier, no macOS starts. They start leaving the fields empty and consequently you get the warning at boot, or in my system, by eliminating these KernelToPatch everything works regularly, no warnings, regular start of mojave, catalina and big sur

Hi guys,

here‘s a question about having to mess around with a working dual boot setup (Windows 10 and macOS) on separate drives:

Initially, I installed Windows on a SATA drive, checked if everything works, did some undervolting etc. and then installed macOS on a NVME drive.

So far, so good.

Unfortunately my Windows Installation is kind of broken by now which means I cannot install the 2021 update through the regular windows update mechanism. Instead, I would need to use Windows Media Creation Tool from inside Windows. My SATA drive will get wiped during the update process which means I will have to install apps, drivers etc. again.

Question:

do I have to follow a certain protocol (i.e. disabling the ports/drives macOS is installed onto in BIOS) so that Windows Boot Manager doesn‘t break Clover as the preferable bootloader during the update process?

If would need to install Windows from scratch, what protocol/steps should I follow?

Thanks in advance! 😊

PS: not works

Why Count=0?

I have also propose to use more human name for procedures:

instead of "_i386_switch_lbrs" you'd better write "i386_switch_lbrs".

OK then I take off the front underscores
Count = 0 is what I find in the OC kernel patch plist, with what value could you change?

removed the initial underscores in proceedings
count = 0 changed to count = 1
count = 1 changed to count = 2

I try to start big sur, but it's not going; if you need here's the log and kerneltopatch tried

Hi guys,

here‘s a question about having to mess around with a working dual boot setup (Windows 10 and macOS) on separate drives:

Initially, I installed Windows on a SATA drive, checked if everything works, did some undervolting etc. and then installed macOS on a NVME drive.

So far, so good.

Unfortunately my Windows Installation is kind of broken by now which means I cannot install the 2021 update through the regular windows update mechanism. Instead, I would need to use Windows Media Creation Tool from inside Windows. My SATA drive will get wiped during the update process which means I will have to install apps, drivers etc. again.

Question:

do I have to follow a certain protocol (i.e. disabling the ports/drives macOS is installed onto in BIOS) so that Windows Boot Manager doesn‘t break Clover as the preferable bootloader during the update process?

If would need to install Windows from scratch, what protocol/steps should I follow?

Thanks in advance! 😊
