Got Clover r5159 working on my Lenovo T490 with Sequoia. Intel BT is not working, but that's a kext issue.

clover (config.plist)?

It is config-sample.plist. It is one for all because Clover is able to configure hardware automatically.

[Max.1974]

Try use Clover Configurator, and he fix automatic errors from your plist. 

 

Need put Devices and boot args, and I recommend  you try EFI basic from Olarila.com and if you need, ask for @MaLd0n help you!! He is Olarila owner

Maybe you should try use @Shaneee kexts but its important use Opencore ResetNvram, I have no idea why Clover not clean totally Nvram. 

 

 

 

And need put parameters on boot or in Nvram 

 

First: 

 

sudo nvram bluetoothHostControllerSwitchBehavior=always

 

sudo rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth

 

Them: 

 

Or use Opencore to boot and Clean Nvram and reboot to Clover. 

 

Or just put on Nvram this args 

 

sudo nvram bluetoothInternalControllerInfo=0

sudo nvram bluetoothExternalDongleFailed=0

Now I can compile Clover in Sequoia.

HI, id like to use clover with Catalina on an amd laptop. I added the kernel patches and the same kexts from the working config in opencore but it stucks early on boot. Is there a guide to config clover properly?

Do you know if a require something special for an amd laptop, config.plist wise, other than the amd vanilla patches with clover?

I never had amd laptop so I know only that is written in the forum.

Hi @Slice    I would like to ask you if by chance there have been any reports of difficulty installing Sequoia when there is more than one installation on the Hackintosh. For example, I have been able to install with Opecore normally, without problems, but Clover does not recognize more than one installed program and does not complete the installation, unless it is just this one on the entire HD or even on separate HDS (Nvme and SSD Sata ).

 

I can install now with update Lilu and others kexts. Thanks!!

@Slice please what tools (Xcode beta 16? CLT) to compile Clover on Sequoia ? Are you can get it on beta 2 too? 

[Slice]

I am using gcc14.1.0 as GCC131 toolset under sequoia.

@Max.1974 I’m booting sequoia beta 2 using clover 5159 release. It works smoothly. The only minor thing was the memory misconfiguration notification keep popping up and I haven’t had the chance to try the restrictedevents kext bootargs to see if it goes away.

[Max.1974]

Hi my friend, sorry late @jlrycm are you using MacPro7,1 SMBIOS? I preferred use iMacPro1,1 but I know that important make upgrade. 

 

So I think im fix that with Restricted Events and Lilu update kexts or use Lorys87 RE, and im put this arg on Clover: 

 

 

 

Im using last Clover 5159 with this kexts 

 

In Sequoia or Ventura not issue report 

 

But im sure that @MaLd0n can be fix to you any issue with SMBIOS MacPro7,1, he can fix to me too !!

Thanks @Slice I sorry I not know do it, for exemple, choose GCC version. If you would explain, appreciated that...

Thanks a lot for all your hard work with Clover !!!

Hey @Slice

On my Z390 config, I have two hard disk: Sequoia (Clover) and Endeavour (Systemd-Boot-boot). When I try to boot from USB Sequoia (Clover), I've got a kind of Systemd-Boot menu with macOS entries instead of Clover (see below).

If I select this macOS entries: I can't boot Mac (logically) but Clover display only embedded theme ! (I check my theme before 12 AM)

What do you about this behaviour ! Maybe I mistaken somewhere.

 

Thanks.

 

Screenshot: for testing as usaul, I try to boot from USB: Clover r5159 commit 259b69 display a non-graphic menu instead of Clover GUI.

EDIT 1: I try with latest commit: same issue, no Clover GUI at startup... 

 

EDIT 2: the separate hard disk boot Endeavour from Systemd-boot. Is it possible : a conflict between Clover bootloader ? Nvram issue... Any ideas !

I may propose that you use BOOTX64.EFI as Clover while Endeavour change it to something else.

Thanks for the warm words.

To use gcc-14 you should run script

./build_gcc14.sh

and then use buildme just by default.

Just press 1

[Max.1974]

Hi @Slice, forgive me ask to you again, I don't know if a have mistake something but not recognize edited:" GCC14.1.0" or not finish compilation. 

 

Here the logs zipped 

 

 

logs - Clover xcode 16.zip

 

If I can do something to get compiler Clover from my Sequoia, please let we know how configuration you do it.

[Max.1974]

In ventura im run first your command with final "... ./build_gcc14.sh" and then install normally.

 

After that im run just "cd CloverBootloader ./buildme"

 

I clean About This hack cache 

 

"cd /Applications/About\ This\ Hack.app

rm -rf ~/.ath" 

 

And then running last commit build 5159 but I don't know if is possible compiled with Sequoia or if will be is different 

 

Thanks!!

What you say, make sens. Thanks.

 

Exactly what I think about BOOTX64 (Clover/Endeavour). But I try to boot from Clover USB drive when the issue is arriving. How to block Endeavour BOOTX64 ?

To resume,  I have two HDD: Sequoia (Clover) Endeavour (Systemd-boot). The issue do not exist booting from USB Opencore.

 

EDIT: I check again config.plist and try again. Result: screenshot below

Where did you see I speak about GCC14? Never!

I told about gcc14.1.0 and GCC131.

It looks like you started bootloader from bootloader from other bootloader.

[Max.1974]

Is this instruction for Sequoia? 

 

1. Download Clover

cd ~
mkdir src
cd src
git clone --recurse-submodule https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader.git
cd CloverBootloader

2. Download and install Python 3.12...
3. Set a link for python

cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin/
sudo ln -s python3.12 python
cd -

4. Install tools
pip3 install setuptools

5. make -C BaseTools

6. ./buildme
