Hi @Jief_Machak as @Matgen84 reports it's been there for quite some time.

If you try to even click on the same config.plist you load by default i.e. not change in the list, you still get that tag:4 warning (I refer to the config choosing menus in Clover options in boot-time).

It is not related to configurations, I believe, but some other residue check that's causing the error.

Nevertheless, here is again my config (with removed serials) for your testing.

Again, try selecting on your own Clover options the loaded main config -- you will get the error.

Unless there's something that we all missed in config as a parameter and keep using it LOL
Merci encore!

config-removed-serials.plist 11.25 kB · 0 downloads

Unfortunately, I don't have that bug when I select either the same or another config.

So :

1) try with the latest build

2) remove your serials if you want to, and check that the bug is still there

3) remove all the logs in misc, except the last one when the problem occurs

4) send me the whole CLOVER folder

Hi.

No this Warning isn't related to Bios Version and Release Date from SMBIOS

Bios Version and Release Date (and Efi Version) Warnings were fixed with commits 07b993b and e036b3d in r5141.

"Warning : 'Tag 4' was already defined. Previous value ignored." results from ACPI DSDT Fixes check in rEFIt_UEFI/Settings/ConfigPlist/Config_ACPI_DSDT.cpp lines 31 or 46

This Warning is displayed ONLY when you try to change, select another config file than the default one : "config.plist".

What I don't get is why the message is ":4", which means that xmlPath is empty... I need to reproduce to see what's going on inside.

This "Press any text" bug is something that puzzle for a while. I can find that text message anywhere in Clover.

Send me the debug.log, to check if Clover even started. CAUTION : if clover doesn't start at all, you won't have a log. Be careful to not confuse with an old log. Remove all logs before trying.

[Z390 config] I test from an USB pendrive using BLC. At startup, I press a key to enter in BLC menu. Then I select my CloverX64-5142-eebffc9.efi; there is only BLC menu. I can't boot Clover, so no debug.log
[IvbyBridge] I update Clover to your latest commit (without BLC): no problem.

EDIT:

Temporally solved. I don't know how, it's a mystery 😇

@Jief_Machak @Slice

Good afternoon night

I have a question:

- it would be possible to put this code of OpenCore Legacy Patcher in Clover config

I use some Hackintosh that I need to patch to activate the graphics NOT metal

to be able to use this patch we must use an ARG "amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1" which blocks Micro and Webcam authorizations on Chrome, Edge and more places

with this last code we can use without problems

I use Google Translate but any doubts I can try to use other translate to facilitate

since already thanks

I meant the clover patch. Sorry

SavageAUS · December 7, 2021

Is there any setting that I could have misconfigured to make all animations run twice as fast? Like opening apps from the dock, the “genie” effect isn’t an effect it’s just open and the video on the AppStore that goes for 15 seconds then loops for me runs about 6 seconds then loops.

Hi Splice & Jeff,

I just noticed that OC 0.7.6 was released. Any chance of seeing this update being merged into Clover? Sitting ready with a Z690 and eager to test... 😉

Best, drlove

And what feature do you steel needed?

drlove · December 8, 2021

Hi Slice,
Thank you for the concern!
OC 0.7.6 is supposed to contain fixes for Alder Lake CPU model infos and a XCPM CPU power mangement ACPI table for Alder Lake. The ProvideConsoleGop quirk is supposed to have fixes as well for Alder Lake.

Slice · December 8, 2021

fixes for Alder Lake CPU model infos

Already done.

Quote

XCPM CPU power mangement ACPI table for Alder Lake.

looks like kernel patch analogous to existing patch for other non-supported CPUs. I may look but not now.

Quote

The ProvideConsoleGop quirk is supposed to have fixes as well for Alder Lake.

??? ConsoleGop is not depending on CPU.

Anyway these patches will not appear in Clover if just update OC to 0.7.6.

@MaLd0n has published a Clover EFI for Z690.

"XCPM" refers to their SSDT-PLUG-ALT.aml which defines suitable processors for OS X and attaches power management. You can just use this SSDT with Clover, or use my own SSDT-CPUR-Z690.aml. Just go ahead for your build with the current version of Clover.

The update infos from Dortania must be misleading then 🤔

Still, Clover seems to require a FakeCPUID, OC 0.7.6 doesn't. Not a biggie, but it complicates things for the "audience" 😉 Besides that, as a long time user who appreciate Clover a lot(!), it would be great if it stayed relevant 🙂

@Slice are you able to take a look on the pre release thread about my clover config and my sped up animations? You were tagged so I’m not sure if you’ve seen it or not.
All my animations are double speed. Clock runs twice as fast as it should.
I posted my config.
Doesn’t happen with OpenCore so it has to be an issue with clover or a setting I have wrong I just don’t know which. Please let me know what you need to diagnose the problem as I want to go back with clover for my amd machine but the double speed is killing it.

The December message is not misleading, but it may have been misread.

It states that explicit model support for Alder Lake has been added, together with "XCPM CPU power management" (which refers to SSDT-PLUG-ALT.aml, admittedly this part could be clearer) and CpuTopologySync.kext. The message does NOT say that OpenCore 0.7.6 is required to boot Alder Lake, and indeed OpenCore 0.7.5 has been successfully used by the early hackers. Only the SSDT is essential to boot an Alder Lake system, and SSDT-CPUR-Z690.aml is an alternative. (I guess I could have advertised it more aggressively in this forum, but no one inquired here about hackintoshing Alder Lake.)

@MaLd0n has proved that Clover works as well for Alder Lake. What's needed is:

CPU redefinition through SSDT-CPUR-Z690.aml, or SSDT-PLUG-ALT.aml (different code, similar results, and SSDT-PLUG-ALT.aml combines that with ~~OpenCore-style~~ power management);
CPU spoofing to a supported model (it's in all published OpenCore config.plist, it's just not called FakeCPUID);
disabling either E-cores or hyperthreading in BIOS.

CpuTopologySync.kext adds the option to have P-cores with hyper-threading and half of the E-cores. @vandroiy2012 has a solution in development to have all cores (P+HT+E), but it's not released yet so its nature is unknown.

Hi Andrey1970 & etorix,

Thanks for taking the time to clarify. You are great!

December 9, 2021

@etorix There is no such thing as "OpenCore-style CPU Power Management". SSDT-PLUG-ALT is a ACPI Table from the OpenCore Package by Acidanthera which enables XCPM CPU Power Management for Alderlake CPUs in macOS (aka sets X86PlatformPlugin to "1"). The table would also work in Clover since it address ACPI which is OS-agnostic. It has nothing to do with the Bootmanager you use.
