After all done that. VRAm shown 7MB.

What I tried;

 

Bios > PEG or PCIE> CSM Disable > Patch vBios > Clover Screen Coming No Desktop

Bios > PEG or PCIE > CSM Enable > Patch vBios > Clover Screen Coming No Desktop

Bios > PEG or PCIE > CSM Disable > Patch vBios > CSM Driver > Nvda_drv=1 > Clover Screen Coming No Desktop

Bios > PEG or PCIE > CSM Disable > Patch vBios > CSM Driver > nv_disable=1 > Desktop coming with VRAM: 7MB

 

Latest NVIDIA web driver already installed when I try these.

 

Also no any kernel panic in verbose mode.

 

What am I missing?

 

I am adding my config plist. Could you please check what am i doing wrong?

hi,

Where is Kext-Dev-Mode = 1 in your config.plist?

hello everyone

 

Im a bit puzzled about this 2 keys in config.plist ( intentionally  separated the 2 in this post ) 

		<key>DropTables</key>
		<array>
			<dict>
				<key>Signature</key>
				<string>SSDT</string>
				<key>TableId</key>
				<string>CpuPm</string>
			</dict>
		</array>

		<key>DropTables</key>
		<array>
			<dict>
				<key>Signature</key>
				<string>SSDT</string>
				<key>TableId</key>
				<string>Cpu0Ist</string>
			</dict>
		</array>

when or how to know if you need one of those? is it  according to your cpu or something?

I've used this in my Ivy Bridge CPU, and works great for my Power Management + AICPM.

 

For Haswell and above, just use KernelPM and a modified SSDT is enough.

 

Correct me Clover devs if i'm wrong.

Hi.

 

I'm searching for information on how Clover DSDT (and SSDTs) "patches" works, to use "hot patches" Rehabman method on my hack. "patches" come from Rehabman config.plist examples.

 

  • Some text DSDT patches like "rename GFX0 to IGPU" can be replaced with a single binary patch

<key>Comment</key>

<string>change GFX0 to IGPU</string>

<key>Find</key>

<data>R0ZYMA==</data>

<key>Replace</key>

<data>SUdQVQ==</data>

 

This part is doing a search/replace on all DSDT & SSDTs from GFX0 to IGPU. OK, easy to understand.

 

  • Existing methods like GPRW can be replaced. First, the original method definition is renamed to an unused name like XPRW. Then, a separate small SSDT provides a replacement "GPRW" method.

<key>Comment</key>

<string>change Method(GPRW,2,N) to XPRW</string>

<key>Find</key>

<data>R1BSVwI=</data>

<key>Replace</key>

<data>WFBSVwI=</data>

​

​It is this part I don't understand. How to ensure that we just rename the GPRW Method declaration only (and not all the GPRW calls inside DSDT and SSDTs) ?  Because if we rename all GPRW to XPRW, we cannot use the "external" GPRW method defined in the "hot patch" SSDT. Base64 R1BSVwI= is "only" GPRW, so how does it change only "method" definition and not every GPRW found inside DSDT & SSDTs ?

 

​Thanks for your help.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to post the digest of what I have that was lost.

 

 

 

This is the digest of posts in topic "Clover General discussion" for today.

The Windows bootloader is supposed to be on the ESP as any Other... The MSR is usually not eben formated, I Think.

Yup, this is exactly what my EFI folder looks like. I guess that MS folder is supposed to be in there.

One thing I have discovered, this may be a BIOS setting. If I use UEFI (With CSM), I get the Clover Boot Menu. If I use UEFI Native (Without CSM), then the laptop will only boot into Windows.

One oddity is that I have a 3 second delay in Clover at boot time but it doesn’t appear. I have to hit enter.

@pkdesign,

Your partition setup and EFI System Partition look perfectly normal.  The "Boot Microsoft EFI boot menu from EFI" loads the Windows UEFI boot loader, bootmgfw.efi ---> boots Windows in UEFI mode.  In your MacPro hack, it looks like Windows is installed in legacy mode.

To give Clover first boot priority, it is easiest to use the EasyUEFI program (http://www.easyuefi.com/index-us.html) in Windows - see Manually install Clover for UEFI booting and configure boot priority with EasyUEFI in Windows. (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310038-manually-install-clover-in-windows/?do=findComment&comment=2200235)
-----------------------------

On my MacPro, Windows is in legacy mode. Is that something I should (or even can) change? It is not a UEFI mobo.

I forgot to say that I boot Windows UEFI on computer #4 in my signature. It is PC BIOS based computer, not UEFI. I can boot Windows UEFI due to Clover.

Did you install windows after installing clover? I had similar symptoms when I did this.


-------------------------------------------
tluck -- Today, 01:10 AM
the booting directly into windows scenario  (vs clover) is because the windows boot manager gets set as the default boot manager - instead a generic boot manager on disk0 or etc - i.e  /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi  -- nothing to do with clover so much.  typically you can select the boot order in BIOS and either delete the windows manager or push it down lower in the boot list.

@Slice

How can you move the Windows icon to be on the right side? I have tried custom entries but didnt work

I hope you differ legacy icons and UEFI boot entries?

A unique copy-on-write design

I guess they're getting their queues from ZFS :)

Only if they can implement RAIDZ2 type of raid .... one can only wish right ...
