Clover General discussion

[SavageAUS]

Anyone know why the install would go fine but after first login then reboot I am greeted with this?
Monterey beta 4 and Clover boot loader on my laptop.

I am reinstalling Big Sur now to see if it’s a Monterey specific problem.

So big sur works just fine. But when I boot into Big Sur it asks for a password for my Monterey disk. Which makes me wonder about file vault? Did I accidentally enable file vault? Could that be what’s causing the boot stop on Monterey?

Yes, it is definitely FileVault2. 

[SavageAUS]

Yes, it is definitely FileVault2. 

Thanks, I’ll do a fresh install today and see what happens. I swear during the fresh install of Beta 4 I saw no filevault options.
Forgot to customise one set of options, all good now.

@SavageAUS 

I have FV enabled since Catalina. 

If you want to use that, you need AppleKeyFeeder.efi and AppleUiSupport.efi. They can be downloaded from my repo: https://github.com/kushwavez/lenovo-x1c6-clover-efi/tree/main/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI

 

The ones inside drivers/UEFI/off/FileVault2 doesn't work.

 

The AppleKeyFeeder.efi I use is from a post made by @Jief_Machak quite a while ago, the AppleUiSupport.efi is from a deprecated AppleSupportPkg.

Isn't AppleKeyFeeder.efi  part of the Clover build, now ?

 

I have a question for you, if you use AppleKeyFeeder.efi . I have 2 user on my computer, so I have 2 icons at the filevault preboot screen. To go to the left icon, I have to press the right key. Does it do the same for you ?

Yes it is and it was, but back in November it didn't work and gave me a red error msg thus PS/2 keyboard didn't work: 

 

But I retested now with the AppleKeyFeeder.efi which came with the Clover.zip, and now it's okay, so it is fixed, nevermind that then, sorry.

Yes indeed, it is the same for me too. Up & Down keys also working for selecting tho.

Yes, they are working, but swapped.

I mean, for me, right arrow key goes left and left arrow goes right. Is it the same for you ?

[kushwavez]

Yes, it is swapped for me too

@phi777 as you problem is not related to Clover itself, I create a dedicated topic for you:

 

[Help] Double cursor - Big Sur 11.5.2

 

Thank you

Since update to Monerey beta 5 noticed AirportItlwm is not loading from sub-dir "12" under kexts in clover 5138.

 

Putting AirportItlwm in "Other"  and deleting the "12" sub-dir, rebooting and AirpoortItlwm loads and functions.

 

Any ideas?

 

Anyone else having Monterey beta 5 kext load failures from the "12" sub-dir under kexts when booting with clover?

 

Does the "12" directory need to be renamed?

 

Was no issue with Monterey beta 4 injecting from "12" sub-dir.

 Hi @Slice @iCanaro

@all

My stupid question: what are the differences between Properties and addProperties in Devices section (config.plist). Please let me know.

[kushwavez]

In the Clover documentation it says: 

 

"You can add your other properties, for example model, in the following array of dictionaries

Deprecated! Use Properties!

<key> AddProperties </key>
<array>
<dict>
...
<key> Device </key>
<string> NVidia </string>
<key> Key </key>
<string> AAPL, HasPanel </string>
<key> Value </key>
<data> AQAAAA == </data>
</dict>
</array>

Value can be <data> or a hexadecimal string. You can't just string. That is, instead of <string>

ABC .... you should write <string> 0x414243 ....

Convert via PlistEditor or Xcode.

The first Device key determines which device this property will be added to. Device List:

ATI

Nvidia

IntelGFX

LAN

WIFI

Firewire

SATA

IDE

HDA

HDMI

LPC

SmBUS

USB

Names should be exactly like that, letter by letter. I think no explanation is needed here.

Thus, different properties can be injected for analog audio Device = HDA, and for digital audio

Device = HDMI. To distinguish Clover will, alas, not be very correct, according to the vendor. If

Intel, then HDA, if ATI or Nvidia, then HDMI. For example, Hazvel has Intel HDMI sound."

In r5138 I've noticed that selected OS won't boot sometimes and all you get is a black screen. After a reset (ALT+CTRL+DEL) it works again. This happesns like every 2nd or 3rd time. I have no idea, why. Also, hiding Volumes doesn't work if they have "Windows" in the name.

Hide volume windows you need the UID of the volume from BootLog

You have to edit your config.plist and follow the recommendation:

1. See Boot -> XMPDetection and set value as said above. For example <false/>

2. See SystemParameters -> InjectKext and set value to <true/> as only reasonable value.

Hello! I need help please. I am currently running Catalina (10.15.7) and I am trying to install Big Sur. I have issues when running the install of Big Sur.

you need a correct EC patch

 

Download the corresponding SSDT-EC.aml for your system, put it in CLOVER/ACPI/patched

Since I have a Haswell (Intel HD4600), do I need the 4 or just SSDT-EC-LAPTOP ? Thanks

Exclude OsxAptioFix... New way is to use OpenRuntime.efi which you already have.

I removed OsxAptioFix… but issue is still there

[kushwavez]

I also see a lot's of SSDT/DSDT errors in your picture (AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, AE_NOT_FOUND), you may need to recreate the SSDT or DSDT and fix these errors. 

 

Also try to exclude them and see what happens (except SSDT-EC)
