sorry if I insist, but in your opinion Counts how should it be set up to make it work best with Clover?

I think we can neglect those warning by CloverValidator because I can boot FX-6300 at Monterey beta1 now !

I hide everything in GUI -> Hidethat gets detected so I can place my own Custom Entries icons, is that not correct?

I use MacOS and Windows in 2 separate drives and want to add just 2 icons pointing to the correct disk/partition/container etc.

Otherwise I will get a "Preboot" entry shown in the main screen, like some other EFI and Windows icons...

	<key>GUI</key>
	<dict>
		<key>Hide</key>
		<array>
			<string>Legacy</string>
			<string>Preboot</string>
			<string>Recovery</string>
			<string>Windows</string>
		</array>
[...]

Thanks for any advice @Slice and everyone.

 

 

Hi @MacKonsti Clover boot Big Sur or Monterey via Preboot despite Big Sur or Monterey icons are showing up. So don't hide Preboot, if you want to start macOS  @Slice already says that.

[MacKonsti]

Hi @Matgen84 yes thank you, I did keep in mind what @Slice wrote, indeed.

I am of course not complaining, just seeking help if others made Custom Entries work well.

The idea is to hide all icons on Clover boot screen and use only custom entries -- but seems it doesn't work on Big Sur and newer. OK I accept that.

If anyone has experimented with Custom Entries, feel welcome to send me a PM so we don't flood the thread. Thanks again.

Does clover 5137 require a specific named icns file for Monterey in the boot GUI, or is this a theme issue? 

 

Created a custom icon for Monterey for BGM theme but have to name it os_mac.icns to display for Monterey.

 

Since this is the forum for clover, can someone tell me if clover 5137 can use different numbered folders under kexts directory in order to load different kexts for multiboot mac OS versions.

 

Example: folder named 10.15 for Catalina, folder named 11 for Big Sur and folder named 12 for Monterey.

 

If so, what is the exact folder nomenclature for these versions?

@HenryV

Yes

10.15 folder is for all 10.15.x

11 folder is for all 11.x.x

I can’t even boot Monterey with Clover on my Ryzen system yet, how did you get fx system to work?

Hi @HenryV Since 25 days, there is a specific name for Monterey Badges: os_monterey

It was attached at original post here.

@SavageAUS if you want to try these kerneltopatches, they should be the exact translation of those of OC.
NB: anyone can check them if there are errors or forgetfulness

 

CLOVER_17H_19H_patches_All 3.plist

I double-checked the quirks in my AMD hack and they are identical between Clover and OC
With MONTEREY Boot OC, Clover doesn't start anything with the translation of the latest kerneltopatch

[SavageAUS]

This is why I put the question out there about using OC’s kerneltopatch in clover at least for AMD machines.
Maybe a simple if statement?
If cpu-type = Intel {
Run clover kerneltopatch patch
}
Else if cpu-type = amd {
Run OC kerneltopatch
}
I know it’s not that simple but hopefully a dev will see and have some input.

Hi @Jief_Machak @Slice

I build latest r5137 commit  a634a82. Using USB drive,  I test a new config.plist called config-wifi.plist. Strange behavior appears: what is ':4'

 

• Clover detected an error from Clover GUI

Spoiler

 

• The same tool from local repo: no error

Spoiler

 

 

Clover GUI shows up 'Boot macOS Big Sur via Preboot' instead of 'Boot macOS Monterey via Preboot'

It says "Boot Mac OS BigSur via Preboot" because your drive's name is "BigSur"

 

The already defined tag means that it is added by the first config.plist, then the new one with new values are overwriting the defined value. It is a cosmetic bug.

My drive is named 'Monterey' not BigSur. I have rename it since Beta 1   Strange indeed. Clover Keep the old name ! Right  Tag ':4' is a bug, but not cosmetic. I think there is a problem in configmanager, see commits on July, 1 @Jief_Machak or @Slice will find a solution.

No issue latest Compile Clover here

My drive is SSD Monterey 

 

[Guest 5T33Z0]

I have a question about csr-active config. For Monterey I use EF0F0000 in OpenCore. Would that be 0xFEF in Clover or what is the correct value to disable SIP?

Thanks  After some investigations, I think the problem is occured when I rename my BigSur'HDD to Monterey via Disk Utility (Finder). Maybe System/Preference/Start Up disk keep the old name  I don't know what is the correct way, to rename internal macOS drive, correctly o avoid this kind of issue. Now, my two USB key (Clover and Opencore) can't boot macOS Monterey 

 

EDIT: I upgrade from Big Sur 11.5 Beta to Monterey Beta 2. Not a clean install

@Jief_Machak @Slice currently that version of opencore is in use in the clover engine?

I updated Monterey beta 1 to Monterey beta 2 with Clover 5137 having csr-active-config=0x285. Other bits are surplus.

If you carefully see changes in OpenCore then you may notice there are nothing essencial since 0.6.0 which is partially used in modern Clover.

We are tracing OpenCore changes to apply significant events.

Again, Clover uses 10% of OpenCore.

I tried the latest OC version 0.7.1 but I'm not as happy as beta 0.7.1 before that, the latest version, booting into the icon selection page is very slow with slow.

Problems with OC has nothing to do with Clover right? Or am I wrong? 🤔

"10 per cent" which provide all the memory fixes in the form of OpenRuntime.efi which make up 90 % of what makes Hackintoshes work.

from me does not work, the debug log with monterey signals me 2 kerneltopatch borked, while with big sur borked they become 3

 

PS: use Clover 5138
