@chris1111 In my opinion, Clover Buildme.app is perfect and faster at compiling the Clover bootloader.

 

   

 

 

"Customise" is now clearly visible

 

Great !

Thank you @Alpha22

Hello everyone, new Clover release with the FileVault disable patch in sample-plist (KextsToPatch), approved and updated by Slice.

Now we no longer need to wait for the drive to encrypt and then disable it.

Thanks to @Slice and @luxinhaus 

 

 Below is also the explanatory post.

I also merge my branch to Slice master that disable FileVault in Tahoe (Signed-off-by: Slice sergey.slice@gmail.com) Download Build ➥ Artifacts
Thank you! 🙂

I think you need to clone the repository again. You probably haven't updated some of the necessary files. Everything assembles for me without these errors.

Error 1 (ignored)

So its not an error because with error the build failled 

I have the same output since long time compilling Clover

Maybe @Slice look to this (error 1 (ignored))

These three errors exist very long time because of unused codes swiped by linker and so produces zero length modules.

It doesn't influence on something.

Historically CloverEFI==boot file was able to launch the whole macOS so it needed such modules like SmbiosGen. Now it replaced by functions of CloverX64.efi

Guys, I think all the adults ones understood the point here. 😉

 

So, let's go back to the Hackintosh scene, and if you like to be here, just follow the rules ok?

To all:

 

On official Buildme: when I launch the app, the script update automatically local repo. To have the right commit at header of the menu, I must close Terminal and re-launch Buildme !!!

Hi, I hope you're doing well.
Are you still involved in Clover updates?
Last time, you did a great job getting the latest platforms with AMD CPUs to work.

With the new AMD architectures, Clover no longer works, and personally, I haven't been able to update the kernel patch conversion as I did in the past.

Some AMD users could benefit from your help in updating Clover as was done for OpenCore and providing support to users who are currently excluded (x670E/x870E and newer platforms).

[Jief_Machak]

Thanks, but I think you give me more credit than I deserve. I wasn't involve in making AMD working.

If the problem is that our version of integrated OpenCore is not recent enough, sure, I can do that. But I have no way of testing.

@Slice knowns more about low level and CPU type etc. If he confirms that an update of our integrated OpenCore is needed, I can do that. If OpenCore did a specific patch to support the new architecture, Slice would also know how to backport it in our integrated version.

Slice, do you know what needs to be done for supporting the new AMD architecture ?

in the past you did

i helped to debug starting from a working opencore config.plist following your inputs to solve problem AMD had with audio

https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/issues/656

 

 

newcpu fix in opencore was added here:

https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases/tag/1.0.3

I do not know if this fix is also implemented in clover bootloader (if so problem is different and maybe other 9xxx cpu user could help to solve if interesed in clover bootloader)

[Jief_Machak]

If you have a working OpenCore configuration and a non working Clover, yes sure, I can help finding why. Is that what you'd like to do ?

[fabiosun]

 

First of all, to save you time, I would like to know whether the fix for recognizing the new AMD CPUs that I linked to you has been added to Clover or not.

If so, I will have to review the conversion of the new AMD kernel patches to see if there are any conversion errors between OpenCore and Clover.

 

Opencore works, Clover latest time i tested does not recognize new AMD CPU (9XXX AM5 series)

 

• Fixed support for AMD_CPU_EXT_FAMILY_1AH, thx @Shaneee

[Jief_Machak]

I absolutely cannot tell, but Slice might...

Thank you Slice, commit 5ea639d solves audio problem on new AMD platform

 

May I ask also how to convert properly this ACPI patches?

ACPI_ASUS X870E Hero.plist.zip

 

i see in the past a your example how to convert kernel patches from opencore to clover but in ACPI seems to be different

Thank you @LockDown

if you see in my log i use to convert many patches for AMD so i know this Slice's post..but it seems that some ACPI patches nomenclature is not working 

 

Only OemTableId and enabled yes in this screenshot   is not present in Slice conversion table...but in the log you can see some skipped part (also well converted)

Ok, Clover is working well it was a problem with a KextToPatch put in a wrong place

 

@Slice

Patches in ACPI patches section follow the same nomenclature of KextToPatch and KernelToPatch sections? it seems different to me

Yes, different, historically.
