Here's some background info what bootbase.efi does. Let's start with the booter configuration:

 

kBootArgsFlagCSRActiveConfig (0x8/8) informs OS X that the device has a valid configuration.

 

kBootArgsFlagCSRConfigMode (0x10/16) informs OS X that the device is in configuration mode.

 

kBootArgsFlagCSRBoot (0x20/32) asks OS X to allow everything.

 

That, along with the special flag CSR_ALLOW_DEVICE_CONFIGURATION (0x80/128) is used by bootbase.efi (and nothing else) for the installation process. If the installation process is ready, then the normal boot.efi is being used by bless for the next reboot. After that only kBootArgsFlagCSRActiveConfig (0x8/8) is used.

 

You can do a grep for 'bootbase.efi' in /.IABootfiles/boot.efi or /OS X Install Data/boot.efi (depending on the type of installation) and see for yourself. bootbase.efi has SIP disabled with the above flags ;)

 

p.s. Now you say; but I don't see 0x80 in csr-active-config. Right. masked with 0x7f. Thanks Apple!

 

Let's clear things up properly. Piker, what is the right setting for the system installation process? The correct values?

 
After installation, we should put values on which "BooterConfig" and "CsrActiveConfig"?
 
And when we perform a "MAINTENANCE" in the system, type: remake the kernel cache, what should we put it?
 
I'm thinking of doing as follows:
 
Installation by "penboot": BooterConfig = 0x38 and CsrActiveConfig = 0x80;
 
In normal use (day by day): BooterConfig = 0x8 and CsrActiveConfig = 0x0;
 
MAINTENANCE make system boot with "Penboot".
 
Or am I making nonsense?
 
Thanks.

Another subject :

 

Did anyone managed to get genuine Apple Magic Mouse  / Apple Keyboard (or other BT mice/keyboards) to work with Clover GUI ?

 

My configuration doesn't seem to work (Clover r3270 , AW-CE123H on mini PCIe slot), but some other configurations seem to work ( BCM94360CD ...)

 

Maybe it's only BIOS related ...

I'm having problems starting Windows from Clover on a legacy boot.

 

I have three drives on my Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 legacy BIOS machine. One with OS X Yosemite and Clover, one with legacy install of Windows7 x64 and a non-boot NTFS drive:

/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *250.1 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS OSX                     249.2 GB   disk0s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *120.0 GB   disk1
   1:               Windows_NTFS Disk C                  120.0 GB   disk1s1
/dev/disk2
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk2
   1:               Windows_NTFS Disk D                  500.1 GB   disk2s1

I have no problems starting either OS X or Windows straight from BIOS. I can start OS X from Clover, but I get a black screen when launching Windows from Clover. I have LegacyBiosDefault option in my config,

 

 

 

<key>Boot</key>
<dict>
   <key>Arguments</key>
   <string>-v arch=x86_64 dart=0 kext-dev-mode=1</string>
   <key>Debug</key>
   <false/>
   <key>DefaultVolume</key>
   <string>OSX</string>
   <key>Legacy</key>
   <string>LegacyBiosDefault</string>
   <key>LegacyBiosDefaultEntry</key>
   <integer>2</integer>
   <key>Secure</key>
   <false/>
   <key>Timeout</key>
   <integer>5</integer>
   <key>XMPDetection</key>
   <false/>
</dict>

 

which as far as I understand allows booting another drive from MBR. I've tried PBR and PBRTest also with no success. I have either eternal Clover GUI Windows logo screen with LegacyBiosDefault or "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del" with PBR method.

 
Also, Clover names both of my NTFS drives as "Legacy HD1". Aren't they supposed to be different?
 
So anyone has clues what's wrong with my settings?

Is there an issue with build 3270?

 

--

 

i'am new to Clover - first Time used with ElCap

 

and i can confirm there's a misbehaviour with 3270 & 3276 ( even re-compiled ),

 

but sometime the system won't start (no changes were made at all to config.plist or system).

 

after changing a theme i get a kernel panic with above mentioned versions.

 

only success with 3264.

 

--

 

OR MAYBE my system is little bit to old - it's time to get a 6 core ;-)

 

adapted my old settings to config.plist (also changed from 10,1 to 3,1) everything's perfect now  :rofl:

 

thx to all Clover devs.  :thumbsup_anim:

Guys, I've got a question for you, as well.

 

When I upgraded to El Capitan, I removed my previous Yosemite partition and expanded the one for El Capitan.

 

Now, the problem is that, by doing that, the Recovery partition that was previously for Yosemite is still there. And now, when I boot my computer, I've got El Capitan, the OS partition, and 2 Recovery partitions.

 

Which leads me to these two questions:

1. How do I know which one of the two is the correct one for El Capitan?

2. How do I remove the one I don't need?

You can remove the partition using diskutil.

First "diskutil list" to see what partition to remove and than "diskutil eraseVolume HFS+ Blank /dev/diskXsY"

Yeah... The problem is repartitioning after. This seems to be a lot more complicated than it has to be. But yes, removing the partition was the easiest part. And I'm already done with that.

 

Now I'm just making a backup of my current stuff so I can "journal" (although they ARE already journaled) my partitions and repartition so I can have everything nice and clean. :)

 

Thank you.

Let's clear things up properly. Piker, what is the right setting for the system installation process? The correct values?

 

After installation, we should put values on which "BooterConfig" and "CsrActiveConfig"?

 

And when we perform a "MAINTENANCE" in the system, type: remake the kernel cache, what should we put it?

 

I'm thinking of doing as follows:

 

Installation by "penboot": BooterConfig = 0x38 and CsrActiveConfig = 0x80;

 

In normal use (day by day): BooterConfig = 0x8 and CsrActiveConfig = 0x0;

 

MAINTENANCE make system boot with "Penboot".

 

Or am I making nonsense?

 

Thanks.

Hombre!

 

I wasn't talking Spanish now was I? Look here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/page-417?do=findComment&comment=2172224

 

That's the hex/decimal values you need.

Ok, so I will do this:

Penboot: BooterConfig = 0x38 and CsrActiveConfig = 0x80
 
Boot the normal system (Use): BooterConfig = 0x8 and CsrActiveConfig = 0x0
 
Can it be like this?
 
Thanks.

For the normal boot you may need CsrActiveConfig=0x1 otherwise unsigned kext may not loadm but that depends on the kind of kext injection Clover supports, and if you use it.

You can merge that partition to an existing one with diskutil.

Yeah, I know that too. But that would pretty much double the size of the same partition, for no good reason whatsoever. Not to mention that, on the next OS, it will probably create a new Recovery partition and so on so forth. So no. I don't think that merging really helps, on the long term.

 

Now, since the new Disk Utility sucks balls through a straw, I had to do 99% of this work on Ubuntu.

 

Result?

 

Cleeeean :D

You could have merge it to "Tools" or "ElCapitan" partition. :)

 

You can't merge it to a "left side" partition easily... :)

It would have taken too much time to resize (it would have needed to move a lot of data to the left, because the partition was almost full, and then resize). And Disk Utility said it can't resize them cause the partitions were not "journaled" (of course they were). I think this is a bug...

 

Anyway, so what I did was to backup Tools (that took a while too, but not as much as it would have taken if I were to wait for the resize process to finish), deleted all the partitions that I didn't need (or had backup of), apparently I had a Microsoft kind of partition there as well, that I didn't use, since I have no Microsoft OS on this particular HDD, recreated Tools, and restored the data onto it.

 

Anyway, I'm glad it's all fine now. And thank you for sharing your ideas.

When the Clover theme arrives with all the settings and I go to the CPU tuning section, I see that Enable C6 is enabled. But when I check the settings with Clover Configurator, I see that it is not chosen. 

Why it is always enabled although I have chosen it not to be so?

Probably because you need it?

Good point! I dont know because I dont use sleep, I have disabled it from the OSX preferences. 

You see, C states are used, for as far as I know, for sleep/hibernation. Basically anything that's not considered a "fully ON" PC. Except for C0 state (if I'm not mistaken), which is also known as "halt". Basically, the computer (or rather the CPU) is OFF, and not suspended in any kind of "hibernation/sleep" mode. I don't know what was your reason for disabling it, but you probably shouldn't have? :) Just saying.

I also noticed it's selected automatically, even if you don't need it and even ssdt generation is set to flase. I use custom ssdt so I specified EnableC6=false.

Same thing with AppleRTC patching.

I assume it's a fail-safe, in case you don't have alternative solutions. And, to be honest, I like it. I think it's a good thing to have backups. Especially if you're a new user. It doesn't bring any harm. Same for SSDT/DSDT. I don't need a custom one, cause all my patches are made (and can be easily enabled/disabled) from Clover. I prefer to have as little things to manage, as possible.  Less things to manage = smaller chance of failure. Adding custom DSDT to the equation won't make things any easier. On the contrary. So I really like it this way.
