If this is the case indeed and contains @Jief_Machak's fix can you kindly update it in the Release Notes on Git?

TgtBridge was fixed for 5124.

The 5129 only add DMG files booting, needed for Big Sur recovery.

I found duplicate parameters in the config. By default, the DMAR drop is enabled in the config and the DisableIoMapper quirk is enabled, they both perform the same function

Well spotted.

My bad !

We will remove the quirk and keep Clover original way, I think, if they are strictly identical. I'll do that after the integration of a new config.plist parser that will be able to give clear warning like "you are using DisableIoMapper, use DropTables instead".

That way, we'll avoid some panic on this forum.

Thanks @Jief_Machak can you kindly confirm that this version also fixes the problem reported with <key>PluginType</key> ?

Do you have any means to update the Release Notes in Git ?

Can we boot BaseSystem.dmg from a FAT32 (or another) pendrive with Clover v5129?

Didn't try. The problem maybe in the boot.efi included in BaseSystem.dmg. It has to re-mount the volume with his own drivers. Probably won't accept FAT32 volume.

Done.

Thank you for your quick actions.

Shame that your fix for <key>PluginType</key> not working (regression, I guess) is not part of 5129. Hopefully we can get it with r5130.

Thanks again for your continuous support to Clover.

Not working ??? It supposed to. Nobody told me it doesn't work in 5129...

 

I am really sorry, I did not mean to alarm anyone. Just that neither Slice or yourself mention this in the releases notes, mate. I did ask twice in my posts above...

 

This is an important feature of course! But no mention of PluginType fix or trace anywhere: https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/releases/tag/5129 hence my disappointment.

 

I am still running your r5123-1 release/fix and wanted to be sure that r5129 finally has no hiccups or known issues before trying to move forward in an update. Cheers

For those who are reading the few last posts, I realise that I confused PluginType and TgtBridge. I don't know how, but @MacKonsti ask about PluginType and I answered about the TgtBridge bug.

Hence the confusion.

So let's restart fresh :

is there a bug about PluginType that needs to be fixed. Can some try to change this value and see if it has an effect ?

what is the error? PluginType=Yes works. PluginType=No does not work. That's how it should be. Probably confusion due to the fact that not everything was removed from the config PluginType=1

PluginType=1

Ok, yes, I've checked and I confirm that "SSDT/Generate/PluginType=1" doesn't work, indeed. I don't think it ever had but can't be sure. Because "1" is not "true", the resulting value is false ! 

Careful : don't confuse with "SSDT/PluginType" which represent the (integer) value of PluginType.

Hi all,

 

Just reading lasts posts and I have a question please. I understand that with last 5129 release is now possible to clean install and boot Big Sur with USB without selecting "via preboot" everytime. Am I right?

Thank you in advance.

Even is the message is not "via preboot", Big Sur has (technically you can deactivate security feature, I heard, but not advisable) to be booted via preboot.

And Clover does nothing special about USB volume. At EFI time, volumes are just volumes whatever they technically are (USB, SATA, NVMe, etc...)

if you disable Preboot you'll lose OTA updates. 

 

Just create a custom entry for Big Sur if "Boot Mac OS X from <name> via Preboot" annoys you.

Make sure your kexts are in kexts/Other, if they're in kexts/11 they won't load: https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/issues/349

@Jief_Machak @kushwavez thank for your replies.

 

My personal experience has been as follows:

 

if I try to clean install big sur not using via preboot, the installation will not be completed taking me to this error at the last phase: too many corpses being created.....

 

if I install using via preboot, I'm able to clean install Big Sur. Then, if I boot via preboot, everything works well, instead if I boot normally (not using via preboot) I have problems with the App Store being not able to download / install any app.

 

not a big problem to enable the via preboot volume to be shown at clover screen and boot the system from it everytime. Could it be possible to, for example, automatically selecting it as predefined boot volume avoiding the user to manually modify the config to show it etc?

 

I was just thinking that if a "normal user" does not know that is necessary to select the via preboot volume, it could be tricky to install big sur and boot it not having problems with the App Store and OTA updates for example.

 

thanks

You can specify config.plist/GUI/DefaultBootVolume and Timeout for automatic boot. Write "Preboot" to DefaultBootVolume if you have just one system with Preboot.

If you have more then put the UUID to DefaultBootVolume

 

EDIT: @Jief_Machak in my case the "main" partition is not automatically hidden. I have to Hide via config.plist/GUI/Hide

It’s supposed to be the case since few version. “Main” partition is automatically hidden and preboot is automatically shown

hi @Jief_Machak it has not been my case. I tried to install big sur several times since clover 5126 with every release not being able to do it. Maybe is a problem with my config? I always manually update clover copying and pasting the single files and keeping the config , DSDT and Kexts between the updates. Should I make a new config starting from the sample in 5129 release?

negative: BS install it, update it, start it only from preboot by apple setting/imposition
