@LockDown @MakAsrock 

Have you tested these?

No i did not. It just so happened that is what i do if i disable a kexts.

I guess it should be done at earlier part of the boot process.

But based on your screenshot, there was an error regarding invalid size 🤔

could it be just a simple lack of characters😮🤔

Dont work and same instant reboot with or without this patch

I didn't need to do this. Everything worked fine for me with LucyRTL8125Ethernet.kext and IntelMausi.kext. I made the correct VT-d implementation for my RIG.
But I'm not surprised. This is the correct playlist.

AAB.plist.zip

Now i have to stop to test because from OC and clover Nvram creates problem here so i will wait for Jieef response if he is always in the clover business :)

However thank you for your tries to help

Yes, ResizeAppleGpuBars is set to 0.

Thanks again, but I don't plan to test again because of the soaring prices of SSD and RAM.

 

This config and the EFI folder have been working perfectly with all the Clover updates these years.

A bit confusing to see it becomes incompatible this time.

 

My bad. I totally forgot to attach my config.plist (with the SMBIOS edited) and dsdt.aml.

 

Thanks to everyone.

 

config copy dsdt.zip

Thank you for taking time to fix my EFI folder. Would you mind telling us why my old config works with 5166 but not 5167?🙂

 

 

Maybe need add ACPI patches (look mine):

And try add Recovery Volume:

for the devs interested:

@laobamac_yyds gave here some indiction

 

if some clover devs is interested to find a solution, i saw only here in main.cpp clover bootloader code that instance:

Hey friend, here’s a special Clover build for you!

It blocks IOSkywalkFamily on macOS 23+, and both IOSkywalkFamily and AppleEthernetRL on macOS 26+.

Not 100% sure it’ll work, but give it a shot and see how it goes!

Thank you for your tries @MakAsrock same problem

It seems no others have interest to have for now clover working as Opencore does

so I will stay in Opencore ;)

Thank you again!

It's a pity, but Clover works no worse than Open Source.
I don't panic if I block AppleEthernetRL as described in Clover_Of_Khaki_Color_5160.pdf.
A custom-compiled Clover also works on my RIG. 😉

If I esclude my realtek 8126a I can use clover

and this is the point

Only applying thing without hardware causing the problem is not a solution

having that Ethernet and applying any solution proposed here does not work

so i hope that someone else could help to debug

for now i will use opencore which is working only using that block in proper config plist section

In the past jieef solved many problem more complex and useful only for AMD cpu users

i thing in a future clover would be usabke also with a 5GbE realtek ethernet

😉

Thank you for the tips. I'll study it further after I get home. :)

is it possible to install from DVD? it appears the laptop I'm trying to hackintosh is allergic to booting with a USB drive plugged in

Creating installers for macOS Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe requires almost 20 GB of disk space. Do you have these DVDs?

USB allergy can be treated with proper USB port mapping.

I'm installing OS X 10.7, the installer is small enough for a DVD-RW.
The USB allergy isn't an issue with OS X but rather the BIOS of the machine I'm installing to, it just gets stuck on the logo screen and does nothing else if there is a bootable USB plugged in
