Interesting, I guess I need to try it now and see if the debug info is removed as with the other method. EDIT: works ok, could it be slightly slower in loading though or am I imagining it?

What to say... could be since it needs to read all apfs container to find the relative apfs.efi. But honestly its magic job and the service received it's really convenience than be 0,1 second faster, Imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telepati Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Guys are there any differences in ApfsDriverLoader.efi and ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi? or just name changed but still the same files?

The name make no difference, but at least ebuild.sh should always use the -x64.efi suffix, otherwise I guess is copied by a third party script? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matgen84 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi commit r4687 introduce drivers-off/drivers6xx/FileVault2: great job really I don't understand why smchelper.efi is classified in this new directory. I thought it was not specific to FV2, according to these explanations Click Here, but a help to Fakesmc . If I understood correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-an-W Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Morning folks, Can I please check what files are required for use with Sierra (Not High Sierra) and Mojave to boot correctly not using FV2. Are the ones highlighted not actually required (Maybe also SMCHelper-64.efi as I don't think my FakeSMC is the Slice version)?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them may be needed if your keyboard is not working without them. And for mouse as you see the driver name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkdesign Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Just an FYI, i installed 4674 on my legacy rig and I could not boot. Just got a (non-blinking) cursor in the upper left hand corner. I had to go back to 4658 in order to boot. I also have a question about BIOS boot systems. There are four kexts, that I do not believe have anything to do with FileVault, listed in the "BIOS Drivers" section. But do they need to be installed? My system runs fine without them but not sure if I need them anyway: FSInject SMCHelper ApfsDriver laoder AppleEfiFat Also, there are always some UEFI drivers that have check marks next to them even though I am insatlling on a BIOS based system. I always have to uncheck these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonmolk Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I remember back when fusion drives first came out that clover would not install to the efi partition. This seems to have returned with the apfs fusion drives. It installs to the root partition. It does not mount the efi partition to install.
