What might be the cause of this? Reporting -1Mb VRAM doesn't look right (lines 2-4, 7). Also initially being declared Evergreen family.

0:762  0:000  Set VRAM for Cedar=-1Mb
0:762  0:000  ATI: get_vram_size returned 0xFFF00000
0:762  0:000  ATI Radeon EVERGREEN family

0:762  0:000  (AtiPorts) Nr of ports set to: 4

Hey, ATI Radeon sources was not changed.

Thanks for testing. Just to be clear - it worked b4. I'm trying to reduce the amount of disk access during the "scanning entries" phase in hope of shortening interval to GUI Ready.  B4, what it did is to scan for the sleepimage in any case, and only if it finds that the system is in hibernated state after that test, it checks whether NeverHibernate flag is true in config.plist.  Now it first checks the flag and skips checking the sleepimage if flag is true.

Never Hibernate true or false is works.

Seems like NeverHibernate=TRUE should be the default setting (rather than having to set it explicitly in config.plist), since I doubt most users regularly put their machines in hibernate mode.

 

I'm also unclear as to why Clover deems it necessary to check every volume on every storage device during boot, when the boot-device is already set in NVRAM (via 'efi-boot-device-data'). Seems like it could forgo all of that and immediately attempt booting from whatever 'efi-boot-device-data' is set to.

Clover menu exists for the purpose to change default boot volume and settings.

If you want immediately boot without GUI then there are two possibilities:

-- timeout=0

-- Fast=true

Hey, ATI Radeon sources was not changed.

Yeah, this is an old bug (seen it for the last few months). Just neglected to mention it till now.

 

The VRAM shows normal after boot in About Mac. Only during boot does there appear to be confusion re: VRAM. Unsure as of yet why.

 

Clover menu exists for the purpose to change default boot volume and settings.

If you want immediately boot without GUI then there are two possibilities:

-- timeout=0

-- Fast=true

I already use Fast=TRUE. Scan=FALSE is also set. Yet the log still clearly shows a stream of pointless scanning, e.g.:

 

0:187 0:000 found 10 volumes with blockIO

…

 

And so forth.

Slice can you help me with AMD CPU? I've tried various versions of Clover and upon selecting OS X drive from within Clover GUI I get a black screen with a solid - in the top left corner. This only happens with El Capitan.

Set Boot->Debug=true and upload debug.log here to see where is the stop.

Here is the log. I've noticed since reinstalling my System Clover doesn't detect my main install on a 2TB drive.

Hi Slice,

 

after r3399 (even on r3420) it is still needed to uncomment the line 2119 on nvidia.c to get the VRAM amount correct for the second graphics card.

	// Amount of VRAM in kilobytes (?) no, it is already in bytes!!!
	if (gSettings.VRAM != 0) {
		videoRam = gSettings.VRAM;
	} else {
		videoRam = mem_detect(nvCardType, nvda_dev);
    //    gSettings.VRAM = videoRam;
	}

See this post for the logs.

Thanks, although I didn't understand the difference. Invisible symbols?

 

Can anybody explain this problem in ElCapitan Xcode 7.2.1?

No. It means second card can't be detected by this method. It is not right workaround to use memory detected for first card as a memory for second.

In your case you may set VRAM in config.plist or make full properties injecting manually for both cards.

real time corrections ;). Double meta tag, is invisible and not really needed for a package because is used to pass information to web broswer(s) only (I guess problem with your editor html? ... Cocoa HTML Writer)

No, the problem is not the same.

The log finished successfully. Then kernel must started.

Do you have a right kernel for AMD?

They (Apple) remove the pch header from standard new project (always present in past), if no code is inside why not remove it?

In this case should be removed from "built setting" too.

I see. Strange, since I have two identical graphics cards. Nevertheless, I'll set it in config.plist.

Yes the system boots just fine with Enoch. I will try on a clean install later on.
