pokenguyen Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I think the Text-mode is not fully supported on low resolution, and cause all entries to overlap. Try this config.plist (with GUI), you can switch back to Text mode later, and choose what you prefer: config.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeliemonster Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 ... I think you forgot to attach the config! (or am I missing something?!)

wheeliemonster Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thanks pokenguyen. I now see the 'retro' GUI and have two boot options - OSX and Windows and both boot fine. Wake up from sleep is still an issue though - would it help if I used the ProBook Installer to configure "sleep-to-disk" instead of "sleep-to-RAM"? Other than that, it still sometimes doesn't boot OSX (Chameleon or Clover - makes no difference) - it looks like it completes everything up to and including Bluetooth but then fails. I believe this is at the stage where it initiates full-res graphics for the main OSX GUI, but my video card seems to be installed correctly and I get full HW acceleration. Anyway, I'm guessing this may be as far as I can go for now - if so, then so be it, I'm very happy with how far I've got anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeliemonster Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Having said that - if there are more things I can try, logs I can post, etc. I'm more than willing to give it a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Can you post your DSDT - original and patched + /Library/Logs/CloverEFI/boot.log? You should use Sleep image fix (which moves to save ram style). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeliemonster Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Sure. Can't remember where my original DSDT is though - do I boot with -x to not use it or can I extract it even though I've booted using a patched one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheeliemonster Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Just an FYI - it now sleeps perfectly and wakes up really quickly but only runs for 1-2 seconds before crashing and rebooting... Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Replace OsxLowMemFixDrv-64.efi by OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi in EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI. About reboot after wake, it's limitation of your system. It does not support UEFI fully, I don't find any workaround yet. If you use Legacy bootloader like Chameleon, it can sleep fine (but you can't boot Windows UEFI). Do you have Wifi working? What Wifi card does your laptop have? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeliemonster Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Cool. Thanks. I'll replace the driver. Laptop has Intel WiFi so I'm using a Ralink based Cisco USB for WiFi and its working fine if a little clunky. I do appreciate the problems with sleep are down to circumstances rather than configuration, so I'd just like to say thank you once more and hopefully maybe an update to Clover or the HP BIOS will solve my problem one day (although I won't be holding my breath for an HP fix!)

pokenguyen Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 You can replace the Wifi card to HP Broadcom 43224 (it's the card in your BIOS whitelist) to make Wifi work with OS X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeliemonster Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Genius! Just had my first successful wake after sleep after replacing the driver in Clover. Thank you. Have only tested twice so far so I may be jumping the gun but even if it works most of the time this is great... Bluetooth works, as does my USB wireless after sleep. Magic. Just looking around for a Broadcom card now. Thanks dude, you have been so helpful. Marking this thread as solved. Hopefully it will be of help to someone else.

wheeliemonster Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm posting this after not having a reset all day since I last posted (8 hours ago!) I must be lucky today! I'll see how it goes over the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLee Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hi could someone help me im stuck! I have maverick disk0s2 up and running in UEFI mode using clover on efi partition disk0s1 I have a empty hfs+ partition for my win8.1 install The disk is in guid partition table So I boot up from Windows install DVD got to setup and chose the empty partition all in Uefi mode It creates the 4 partitions for Windows 1 recovery 2 ? 3 mrs 4 Windows When click install it halts and says "Windows cant boot for next installation steps" What I'm I doing wrong here? Any help would be welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 If you have many drives attached while installing Windows UEFI, it may fail. Remove all drives before installing, then replug them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I don't think windows will install on HFS+. format as fat and try! I had to reinstall Mac boot loader after install win 8.1 hit f8 at boot to select OS for boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLee Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Ok will try with all drives removed got a lot drives attached Could it also be that there are to many partitions? When Windows creates its 4 partitions it looks like this Disk0s1 efi (clover) Disk0s2 osx Disk0s3 recovery (win) Disk0s4 ? Disk0s5 msr v(win efi partition) Disk0s6 windows system Is it maybe a problem because of the first clover efi partition that win thinks it can't reboot during install proces? Maybe I should temporary remove this clover efi partition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Think you are right. I have two sata HD , with 3 partion each. Windows 8.1 on the first HD and first Partion. The 3 mac os on the others. I think Win 7 only sees 3/4 partions. I think it is a good ideal to restore mac to a usb HD , 60G min. so you can recover easy. I use Chameleon boot 2266.

Maybe I should temporary remove this clover efi partition? Your configuration is fine, I even had more partition and Windows can still boot fine. EFI partition is a must, do not delete it or you have to reinstall everything. I had SSD + HDD in my system, and Windows UEFI wouldn't let me install in SSD until I removed HDD. After install, I can use HDD again. Think you are right. I have two sata HD , with 3 partion each. Windows 8.1 on the first HD and first Partion. The 3 mac os on the others. I think Win 7 only sees 3/4 partions. I think it is a good ideal to restore mac to a usb HD , 60G min. so you can recover easy. I use Chameleon boot 2266. You're using Chameleon and Legacy Windows, there's no problem with that installation. He's using Clover and Windows UEFI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLee Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes with cameleon in legacymode it does work but i want it in uefi mode and i cant get it to work it makes the partitions but then i het an error saying it cant reboot for the installation procedure Im gone try with all hdd disconected and after the error make the Windows efi partition the first boot option in BIOS and try again Oh in efi clover i dont have any Windows related efi or drivers yet could this also be a problem? Maybe i should ntfs.efi in drivers map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheeliemonster Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hi guys, I'm back again! All working well on ML, but of course, being the kind of person that I am, I'm now thinking of going for Mavericks! (sorry) I've created my Mav USB installer which is working fine, but when I get to the install OSX piece, it tells me that OSX can't be installed on the existing OSX partition? What am I missing? It feels like it's something obvious that I'm going to kick myself over! I'm hoping to install it there to do an "upgrade", rather than having to reinstall all of my programs. I know I'll have to sort out kexts, etc. as per the ML install but I want to avoid all the application installs... Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
