Can you upload here some of working build for our tests?

Hi

Here's what you want and what you need (BOOTX64.efi (and CLOVERX64.efi) after renaming the below efi components) of :

r5157_a9b0654 (20231112-03h48) --> Wifi BCM 4360 works CloverX64_r5157_20231112-03h48_a9b0654_XCODE15_RELEASE_master_local.efi

What else ...

ACPI/DSDT/Fixes : FixAirport=TRUE

KernelAndKextPatches : BlockSkywalk = TRUE

RtVariables : CsrActiveConfig=0x803 (just F.Y.I)

kexts/Other : (Std kexts) ALC LILU WEG SMC(Virtual and specifics Asus X75VB kexts for RJ45, WebCam, KBD & PAD) --> latest OC or others Dev. releases

NB in KernelAndKextPatches/KextsToPatch

Well, I've notice that recently manual updating required todelete the whole EFI forlder and rebuilding it (put back kexts, config)

So far I provided:

Issue report (incl. Bootlog) here: https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/issues/651

Last working Clover folder here: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=2814338

Also: we've established that BlockSkywalk most definitely stopped working after November 16th.

>> I think it's time that those who can start having a look at the source code.

As well your Clover is not working for me too. Same hang after BootKernelExtensions.kc as with many other versions if BlockSkywalk = true.

So the problem is not with the Clover version.

No I didn't coz on my Laptops Tinkpad T550 and T450 Wifi card is an Intel (AirportItlwm.kext) and on my Desktop Z270 Wifi is an USB Stick with a Realtek chip and Chris1111's Wireless USB Adapter.

And with (your latest commit) r5157_0eac408 (20231208-19h20) XCODE15 RELEASE boot hang after BootKernelExtensions.kc as all the commits after r5157_bdb7a95 (20231116-22h10) do.

But it's not significant, the two last commits don't concern bootloader code

Thanks, but replaced with your BOOTX64.efi & CLOVERX64.efi as well as your settings my Z690 hackintosh still got the same hang in early boot of Clover 5157 as before.

One more question did your CPU in X75 have AVX2 instruction codes because ordinary Ivy Bridge's CPU need more to boot Ventura & Sonoma in my case ?

You are right and thank you for the investigation. There are two questions:

1. Why Clover before 16 November works for you and later not? While opencore always work. There is definitely mistake in 32fbf76 commit.

2. Why your working Clover is not working for me and some other users? Hardware dependency?

I see no how these two questions are connected.

miliuco · December 9, 2023

@matxpa

Tried your settings, no success. I can't boot Clover with BlockSkywalk.

Not clear why. I can say same words as @Slice in the above post.

Slice · December 9, 2023

Even latest Clover works with BlockSkywalk in QEMU.

It's very strange that Clover 5156 specific version can boot Sonoma 14.2 in my B85M-G hackintosh with BlockSkywalk enabled and WiFiBCM4352 working too after applied OCLP 1.3.0n.

I'm very glad to confirm that this Clover 5156 version also worked in my Z97 hackintosh too !

Unfortunately it still got hang in early boot in my Z690, Z490, X299 & Z370 hackintoshs as well as Haswell laptop if BlockSkywalk was enabled.

In my FX-6300 hackintosh it got red screen panic if BlockSkywalk quirk was enabled.

I see no how these two questions are connected.

To 1: I am a user, not a developer. I can't answer that. I can only tell you my experiences: my system boots with BootSkywalk enabled up to Clover r5156 commit bdb7a95d9. And this is the case for most uses who need BlockSkywalk: it works up to November 16th (for some) but definitely for nobody after November 16th.

To 2: The Clover folder I uploaded uses the build from your repo, as compiled by the workflow in its "ACTION" section. It didn't compile it. The only Hardware aspects where I see a possible difference is that my machine uses an unlocked BIOS (1vyRain) which has CFG-Lock disabled and the Wifi whitelist removed so 3rd Part Wifi/BT cards by Broadcom e.g. can be used.

Slice · December 9, 2023

@jsl2000

Thanks for the confirmation. I also see that my proposition about toolset is wrong. This Clover compiled by gcc131 and OK.

Hi

and with Xcode15 too, if I remember (glad to see that jsl2000 trust it now)

Slice could you add a DBG Msg in /.../CloverBootloader/rEFIt_UEFI/refit/main.cpp line 1258 like the lines below

if (gSettings.KernelAndKextPatches.BlockSkywalk) {
DBG("\t\t--> At Src code line (if) of /.../CloverBootloader/rEFIt_UEFI/refit/main.cpp boolean BlockSkywalk value below is\n"); // to be sur where DBG MSG comes from
DBG("\t\t----> KernelAndKextPatches.BlockSkywalk was set to %s\n", gSettings.KernelAndKextPatches.BlockSkywalk ? "TRUE" : "FALSE");

...

}else{

DBG("\t\t--> At Src code line (else) of /.../CloverBootloader/rEFIt_UEFI/refit/main.cpp boolean BlockSkywalk value below is\n"); // to be sur where DBG MSG comes from
DBG("\t\t---> KernelAndKextPatches.BlockSkywalk was set to %s\n", gSettings.KernelAndKextPatches.BlockSkywalk ? "TRUE" : "FALSE");
}

with commit 0eac408 (last one) Boot Log extracted lines with BlockSkywalk set to FALSE and kexts/14 IOSkywalkFamily.kext Disabled otherwise boot hang immed.

Hi

r5156_bdb7a95 with BlockSkywalk set to TRUE and kexts/14 IOSkywalkFamily.kext --> BCM4360 (0x43a014e4) work fine

Clover X64 r5156_bdb7a95 (20231116-22h10) XCODE15 RELEASE --> CloverX64_r5156_20231116-22h10_bdb7a95_XCODE15_RELEASE_master_local.efi

r5156_0eac408 with BlockSkywalk set to FALSE and kexts/14 IOSkywalkFamily.kext Disabled (in block kexts in Clover submenu before booting on Sonoma (SSD or HD) Device--> BCM4360 cant' work),

if BlockSkywalk stay TRUE and IOSkywalkFamily.kext stay Enabled --> boot hangs (after +/- 10 debug lines in verbose mode)

Clover X64 r5156_0eac408 (20231208-19h20) XCODE15 RELEASE --> CloverX64_r5156_20231208-19h20_0eac408_XCODE15_RELEASE_master_local.efi

You have to rename those '.efi' to BOOTX64.efi and CLOVERX64.efi (but you know that)

Hi

If you use a Clover build with a9b0654 commit to bdb7a95 commit, it could (fingers crossed) work with BlockSkywalk set to TRUE and kexts/(14 or Other) IOSkywalkFamily.kext (and IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext)

but it depends of (what Bios ? SMBios ? config content (DSDT/SSDT patches, KestToLoad patches, quirks, devices list and/or content ?), so it works on some Hardware, not on all (it's not necessary a Hard pbm)

If you use a Clover build with commit 32fbf76 commit (you can't with this commit Clover build fails) to the last one bd45a8c with BlockSkywalk set to TRUE and kexts/(14 or Other) IOSkywalkFamily.kext (and IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext) boot hangs (after +/- 10 debug lines in verbose mode), and with BlockSkywalk set to FALSE and kexts/(14 or Other) IOSkywalkFamily.kext deactivated --> Sonoma boot (without BCM Wifi)

So since commit 32fbf76 apple.Skywalk kext blocking as OC does can't be no more done with Clover. (boot stuck with a page allocation pbm)

last lines of a PreBoot Log when Sonoma Clover boot hang

Hi

r5156_bdb7a95 with BlockSkywalk set to TRUE and kexts/14 IOSkywalkFamily.kext --> BCM4360 (0x43a014e4) work fine

Clover X64 r5156_bdb7a95 (20231116-22h10) XCODE15 RELEASE --> CloverX64_r5156_20231116-22h10_bdb7a95_XCODE15_RELEASE_master_local.efi

r5156_0eac408 with BlockSkywalk set to FALSE and kexts/14 IOSkywalkFamily.kext Disabled (in block kexts in Clover submenu before booting on Sonoma (SSD or HD) Device--> BCM4360 cant' work),

if BlockSkywalk stay TRUE and IOSkywalkFamily.kext stay Enabled --> boot hangs (after +/- 10 debug lines in verbose mode)

Clover X64 r5156_0eac408 (20231208-19h20) XCODE15 RELEASE --> CloverX64_r5156_20231208-19h20_0eac408_XCODE15_RELEASE_master_local.efi

You have to rename those '.efi' to BOOTX64.efi and CLOVERX64.efi (but you know that)

Regards

Thank you very much!

I tested Clover X64 r5156_bdb7a95 (it's detected a r5157, btw) and it boots! Wi-Fi and BT are workig (BCM4352). Awesome 😍

Hi

r5157 yes coz' Slice's r5156 had been released and published so new commits are (a beta) r5157 one.

Cosmetic modifications in buildme, ebuild.sh, REFIT_MAINMENU_SCREEN.cpp, CloverVersion.cpp and CloverVersion.h and main.cpp (and tools_def.template to trap build errors on Xcode8,14 and 15)

@matxpa Okay. So are you going to create a pull request so that your fix will be integrated into the main branch?

Did I understand correctly that it is not a fix? It is just a message in log.

Hi Slice

Yes just a simple message to verify if this (inner if or outer aka. else) code lines are well executed.

Now we are certain that the test code lines are executed, but why correctly executed on a certain kind of Hard (or Soft) and not on others

And if you want to add that kind of message, only one could be added just before the 'if' just to get the value of boolean BlockSkywalk.

Hi

Which fix, if you talk about the DBG message it's not a fix it's just to get a trace in the boot log.
