hi fellas, im a clover newbie...

now my system starts with mounted efi volume on desktop after the last clover update!!!

how can i get rid of this efi volume

 

thx in advance

 

Do you have the clover pref pane installed?  You can change it in the nvram tab.  Set mount EFI at boot to never.  Sorry I can't be more specific, I'm on my WIN8 machine.

Ok, I'm back up a little at 10.10 DP2.

 

Clover boots, even from SSD. I have a new DSDT.aml with new patches. Many things work, including MacPro5,1 SMBIOS with Clover patch, except:

 

- TRIM support. Tried new version (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298507-enable-trim-on-non-apple-ssd/?do=findComment&comment=2025739).

Not working, tried this:

<dict>
	<key>Name</key>
	<string>IOAHCIBlockStorage</string>
	<key>Find</key>
	<string>AEFQUExFIFNTRAA=</string>
	<key>Replace</key>
	<string>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=</string>
</dict> 

I also activated kext-dev-mode=1.

 

 

- Intel HD4600 doesn't inject. It's injected through config.plist with:

	<key>Graphics</key>
	<dict>
		<key>ig-platform-id</key>
		<string>0x0300220D</string>
	</dict>

I don't see it in System Profiler. I have a transparent menu bar though, so QE/QI is working. Using Nvidia GTX 780 (first revision) as primary GPU. Airplay Mirroring works as well.

 

- Icons in the sidebar (Finder) don't work. They're all blank. Also, FaceTime or anything a little graphical suffers from artifacts.

Clover byte order differs from chameleon bytes order.

You have to write

		<key>ig-platform-id</key>
		<string>0x0D220003</string>

With DPCI Manager I see Iris Pro with this injected framebuffer, but not in System Profiler. Is that ok?

That was discussed pages and pages ago. I don't think anyone really knows why, actually.

Hey will Clover ever be able to boot Yosemite without caches? That was quite a hairball situation I just got myself out of and was only able to do so by using Chameleon. Rather not have to do that in the future. Just curious.

Is it better to have the EFI partition on both the USB installer and the drive you will install onto, fat rather than HFS+?

 

This is the part that is throwing me for a loop as to the reason why it may be better or not?  PC prefers Fat over HFS perhaps?

Its better to have EFI partition since clover can write to this partition and cannot write to hfs soo we cannot save dsdt tables and cannot take boot.log /debug.log.

FYI... Yosemite DP2 works great on the T420. I am running clover 2721. no changes to the config or were needed (other than adding kext-dev-mode=1 to boot args.)  

 

@arsradu - what do you mean boot logo at startup for yosemite?  do you mean an icon for 10.10 in the clover GUI? or doing boot of the OS (i get a progress bar instead of the spinning circle under the apple.  i just added a new OS X yosemite icon (os_yos.icns)  to my ThinkPad Theme today.

 

Observations (i.e. a few quirks will need to be ironed out)

 

i did notice can't boot without caches. (yosemite has relocated the kernel etc)

my LCD comes up very dark from boot every time. for now just need to toggle brightness and its bright again. (i use Rehabmans APCIBacklight.kext)

 

with yosemite, its Recovery HD partition seems to have some extra items, such that clover picks up 2 boot.efi and lists it 2 times (one is OSX and one is Recovery HD). as compared 10.9.3 recovery HD. and if i select the Recover partition, Clover was not able to actually boot the Recovery Partition

 

I also reverted my partition back to a physical partition instead of a logical partition ... as some of the clover rc scripts got a lost with the indirection of logical partitions and to what is the actual boot drive etc.
