Clover General discussion

[Slice]

I don't know if I should create a release 5158 which differs by 30 commits (as opencore did). But there is no significant difference against current release.

@Slice

I think is a good idea to go ahead to 5158.

@chris1111

Good work!!!

[JorgeMax]

It was booting the system smoothly with version 5156, without GPU and iGPU activation injection. But now I have updated to version 5157 and have reboot before entering desktop. What changed from one version to the next? And why doesn't Clover activate the Radeon RX 6600 GPU? I tried with the Henbury and Deepbay framebuffer in it, but it gives a kernel panic in the acceleration kext.

@Antonuccio Sounds to me like a config issue. My 12 year old Lenovo T530 boots into Sonoma 14.4 in the same time. Enable "NoEarlyProgress" in Boot sections

Same config, same drivers, same theme etc?

Thanks, "NoEarlyProgress" enabled but it doesn't change... I'm also trying to understand what's holding up the GUI

Yes it's more or less the same, the theme is different between 5137 and 5157, could this influence this?

I attach config. and preboot log of 5157 if you have the desire and time take a look at it... Thanks

Huh!

First pause 3 seconds.

0:105  0:000  Warning: Ignored memory module with slot >= SlotCount at '/SMBIOS/Memory:801'
0:105  0:000  Use CloverConfigPlistValidator or look in the log
3:105  2:999  === [ LoadUserSettings ] ========================
3:105  0:000  Cannot find smbios.plist at path '\EFI\CLOVER' : Not Found

Second pause 5 seconds!!!

3:157  0:000  Searching for invalid DiskIo BY_DRIVER connects: not found, all ok
8:154  4:997  === [ InitScreen ] ==============================

Third is your sitting in GUI during 7 seconds.

9:033  0:136  GUI ready
16:863  7:830  Boot option Boot0000 not found

Final time 

17:117  0:000  Closing log

But I have no explanation for your first two pauses. Looks like broken booted drive.

 

Same places in my log

0:297  0:015  Using config.plist at path: \EFI\CLOVER
0:298  0:000  === [ LoadUserSettings ] ========================
0:298  0:000  Cannot find smbios.plist at path '\EFI\CLOVER' : Not Found

0:831  0:000  Searching for invalid DiskIo BY_DRIVER connects: not found, all ok
2:958  2:126  === [ InitScreen ] ==============================

I have slow HDD with many partitions so searching DiskIO is really slow operation. Anyway only 3 sec.

I should think about excluding it.

And after disks inspection I went to GUI

7:874  0:035  GUI ready

 

[Anto65]

Thanks , I booted from USB I have an old HDD I'll try to disable it and try again
Strange that it doesn't find Smbios and yet it's configured, I noticed it too
On the memory I also tried 2channel now it's like this 

 

Spoiler

 

but I always get the error

 

With Rel. 5157 there is no validator or am I wrong?

[Slice]

Yes, no validator.

[Anto65]

If I don't define anything in Smbios > Memory it shows 24GB 😛

Spoiler

 

Disable the old HDD and the result does not change ... There are always those 7 seconds. which loses in seeking smbios and memory

[Anto65]

The memory problem seems to have been solved.... it would remain
" GetDefault Model()=iMac18,3 " ☺️ 

" Cannot find smbios.plist at path '\EFI\CLOVER' : Not Found "

@Slice

audiodxe still not on working state?

 

Also in config.plist, SMBIOS_sonoma will only work if i manually select it. It seems that AUTO does not work because after reboot, it goes back to SMBIOS. Im sure i have my nvram working.

Should work.

Sadly no 😔

Not that important for me though 🙂

AudioDxe I was testing a week ago. It worked in my config.
