I had been successful using v5124 to boot to Catalina and BS Beta 10.  Then, I tried v5125 and it did not work.  As soon as I selected it, I got a black screen and no activity.  I reverted to v5124 and now it also does not work.  When I boot to Catalina or BS, it hangs at pretty much the same place.  Here's a screenshot:

Any ideas what might be causing this?  I am reluctant to start tinkering with my config.plist since it worked previously with v5124.  I have manually installed/checked that the efi files for Boot and Clover are from v5124.  I have not changed any kexts. 

Sounds silly but have you tried cleaning NVRAM?

What is the last clover build without opencore integration? Since I don't need that.

5122

[LockDown]

does ExtendBTFeatureFlags has been implemented in Quirks to replace BT4LEContinuityFixup which is now deprecated?

Don't know what happened. Matgen84 also has a problem.

 

@everyone : let's try this one : CloverX64-2020-10-21-16-09-44-982a43f-dirty-jief.zip

With this one

- you get a better name for your preboot partitions

- main, preboot and recovery partition are grouped together.

If it seems ok, I'll commit it. Let me know.

Does this one have the matchos commit in it? Just so I know if I can test on AMD or not. 

 

EDIT: Boots fine on my Intel laptop.

SavageAUS-CloverX64-2020-10-21-16-09-44-982a43f-dirty-jief.efi-debug.log

 

But

 

If i enable my custom entry even with the above .efi i get stuck at START:BS

That seems to be the debug.log for when it's not working ? If so, please rename it clearly before sending. Please understand that I have zillion of debug.log.

Ok, for this one.

Please confirm to me that when you switch from 5124 to 5125 (and back) you did it in the exact same CLOVER folder. That's means the exact same config.plist, kexts, drivers, ACPI ?

If confirmed, send the debuglog 5124 (booted from that same folder than the 5125, you got it now, right ?)

Yes, booting from exactly the same Clover folder, the only thing modified is the CLOVERX64.efi

Sending debug.logs:
debug_v5124_git_success_acer.log

debug_v5125_git_failed_acer.log

Did you create and fill with proper values the Quirks section in config.plist ?

 

@everyone : to avoid having main BS  partition in Clover menu, use this (or compile last commit) : CloverX64-RELEASE_GCC53-2020-10-20-22-44-34-d17d02b-dirty-jief.zip

I also tried this, the bootloader simply won't start, hence no debug.log

@SavageAUS The link "[Video] How to add a signature. " in your signature seems to not work. How can I add a signature ?

I’ll have to get Allan into that. But you can go into your account settings -> signature and add details in the box.

Ok, I was searching in profile instead of settings.

 

@kushwavez Found something that prevents some kext to be injected. Try : CloverX64-2020-10-22-12-37-13-1803805-dirty-jief.zip. Send debug.log from the exact same configuration as debug_v5124_git_success_acer.log if it's not working.

[SavageAUS]

And just a FYI to @all I just installed a fresh copy of Catalina 10.15.7 on my Intel laptop with Clover 5125 no issues.

To be specific this one CloverX64-RELEASE_GCC53-2020-10-20-22-44-34-d17d02b-dirty-jief.zip

[maclinuxG4]

i add that the final r5124.pgk on release don t allow boot on my config, but i have kept and made a boot.

tha last version for me  is r5125.pkg, but not the last on master:

i get sounds correctly.

 

So  doesn't know why

for me this is the last version to boot properly, after i lost sounds pref panel

0:100  0:000  Starting Clover revision: 5125 (master, commit aee426fa3)
0:100  0:000  Build id: Clover build id: 20201016100620-aee426f-5125-dirty

 

i all time add openrutime.efi and set into UEFI. So all integration is more complex with OC (compile and install into folder properly)

 

i think, it will be more difficult to retrieve a version that before run better... or test each modification from r5123 to  r5125)

@maclinuxG4 One thing at a time. If you have a previous version working, we'll figure out what's going on.

@maclinuxG4 It would be great if you can setup a repo like I describe in : https://jief-machak.gitbook.io/cloverhelp/. (I've just wrote it, so you can help me improve it if needed).

[Jief_Machak]

I've improved the partition order. Now, it must Preboot, followed by main (if not BS) followed by recovery.
To see all partition at once, press F3.

 

Again : remove the preboot hiding in your config.plist : it's not needed anymore.

 

Latest efi file : CloverX64-2020-10-22-14-04-17-1803805-dirty-jief.zip

[iCanaro]

I compiled CLOVERX64_5125_18038055a.efi
I took the config sample with which I created the setting again for the X570 AMD
I duplicated the config
in one I inserted the 38 kernelToPatch leaving the MatchOS field empty and I manage to start big sur beta 10
in the other config I inserted the same 38 KernelToPatch defining the MatchOS and with this I can not start big sur beta 10

here are the debug logs if they can help developers

 

BS_MatchOS_none_5125 (master, commit 18038055a)OK_debug.log

BS_MatcOS_YES_5125 (master, commit 18038055a)NOK_debug.log

Booting fine here on Intel laptop.

Still looking for correct settings for custom entries for the Big Sur preboot volume, all my tests result in unbootable Big Sur (hence why i reinstalled Catalina for a backup)

 

P.S if you need some assistance with your gitbook just add me to it

or select a diff commit  version git clone -b master --depth 1 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader.git  for the master --> commit -1

 

so it possible to get a specific version from git !!!!

@iCanaro In both debug.log you've sent me, the detected macOs version is 10.13.6. See in debug.log "GetOSVersion: 10.13.6 (17G14019)". So your patches don't load because MatchOS is 10.15.x,11.x.

In debug.log, you'll also find 

 SetStartupDiskVolume:
   * Volume: 'Preboot'
   * LoaderPath: '\47AB2C83-D8B5-4E45-A896-9002D2B2C6D2\System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi'

If you search for the UUID in debug.log, you'll find : 

- [24]: 'Preboot'
     AddLoaderEntry for Volume Name=Preboot
    Check if volume Is Hibernated:
    Check sleep image 'by signature':
    using default sleep image name = \private\var\vm\sleepimage
    sleepimage not found -> Not Found
    hibernated: no - sign
    IconName=hsierra,mac comma=7 size=11
    first=os_hsierra
    Loader entry created for 'PciRoot(0x0)\Pci(0x1,0x2)\Pci(0x0,0x0)\Pci(0xA,0x0)\Pci(0x0,0x0)\Sata(0x0,0xFFFF,0x0)\HD(15,GPT,11069583-E0CD-472B-8796-5B12BC3C9175,0xB73DA800,0x124F8000)\VenMedia(BE74FCF7-0B7C-49F3-9147-01F4042E6842,32234278EB4FEE49A906FC8461056BA2)\47AB2C83-D8B5-4E45-A896-9002D2B2C6D2\System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi'

So everything looks like it's High Sierra.

 

Because you said it's working with MatchOS all, I assume you really booted BS and not HS (I'm sure you would notice the difference  joke!).

So maybe you boot BS with an HS preboot ?

Or the is a big bug in GetOSVersion.

 

EDIT : what we can do is : mount your preboot partition, zip everything and send it to me.

probably it's as you say, in fact all the oddities started after I tested the start of high sierra, which is there only for testing and that I don't use.
After the start of high sierra I disappeared the preboot of BS, so I started with OC and ran SOS
The next time you restart in the GUI, the bigsur preboot reappeared but it has the high sierra icon, boot and i'm at the big sur desktop

what command do I have to give in the terminal to mount preboots? 

then I compress it, put it on MEGA and pass you the link

[Jief_Machak]

@iCanaro : start by doing "diskutil apfs updatePreboot" and see if the icon is still HS.

The commit "refactor selfOem. Created getConfigDir... methods" is 70988228c43bccdbf2bb71acc5d708b70f9872fc, but you example is "build id: 20201021172059-1803805".

Send at least 2 debug.log, each one containing ONE boot, renaming the log so it's clear which one worked and which one didn't.

Or setup a repo we can share. See https://jief-machak.gitbook.io/cloverhelp/

Your screenshot was in French. I can help you in French.
