Mac_hack13 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hello This is my first post currently i am posting this on my os x 10.9 mavericks i tried to install the clover efi on the hdd it booted but can't boot into the os x ... i must use the usb to boot the os x... System specs : CPU : Core i7 4770 non k ! MB : ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA RAM : kingston HyperX BEAST 2x8 16GB kit HDD : lots of stuff but i am using a western digital 500GB caviar green drive for testing , will be upgrading to intel series 320 160 GB SSD GPU : ASUS Nvidia GTX 650 TI BOOST OC (I know that this gnu is irrelevant with the rest of the specs this is my old gpu) SPU : the internal ALC1150 for now. WIFI+BLUETOOTH : included mpcie combo . So i need help regarding booting the os x without any problems and without the usb. also i need to get the wifi & bluetooth working. I think the gnu is detected automatically maybe it's fine. Thanks EDIT : now i discovered that you don't support tonymac's software , i am not asking for support for his software , i have a working OS X installation missing a working boot loader.

Rampage Dev Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Your not telling us anything about why it won't boot. I am sure you are failing to install the boot loader properly and or have the Boot0 error. Its is one of those two issues and nothing more.

OK, to make this clear to you it is not a Bootloader issue at all. The issue is that you are not cofigurating your boot file correctly with the flags for your system. Identify the flags that are needed to boot your org.chameleon.Boot.plist in your Extra folder as needed. For clover it is your config.plist.

Mac_hack13 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 i looked at guides talking about this but i don't understand anything as i am new to this :\ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298345-need-help-for-post-installation-of-mavericks-109-boot-loader-issues/#findComment-2023568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 i looked at guides talking about this but i don't understand anything as i am new to this :\ So the boot.plist and or the config plist have the boot flags you need entered into it. This makes you not have to type any flags at boot. Just read a bit more documents about it and look at the file on your install medium.

Mac_hack13 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 ok i read some stuff and stopped at this page of the wiki http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration i cant find the "minimal" version of the config.plist to start with... where can i find it or maybe generate it?

jamiethemorris Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 ok i read some stuff and stopped at this page of the wiki http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration i cant find the "minimal" version of the config.plist to start with... where can i find it or maybe generate it? just type this in the terminal: /usr/local/bin/clover-genconfig > ~/Desktop/config.plist That should get you a working version... You can also use Clover Configurator if you prefer a GUI to work with.

To me this sounds like a graphics problem, i. e. OS X is unable to start the display manager. Is your GPU supported by OS X and did you configure clover such that it injects the necessary stuff for your NVIDIA card?

RockStrongbow Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 the /usr/local/bin/clover-genconfig > ~/Desktop/config.plist gives error and its described in the wiki that i must boot the os x successfully with clover itself with minimal configuration file and after that executing that command... Yes, indeed you first have to boot successfully with clover to use that command. You could try booting in safe mode with "-x" and if that works, call clover-genconfig. my gpu is supported by the os x default driver but sadly no offical nvidia driver or modified kext is available for my gnu IMO as I already stated, there is something missing in your config which prevents graphics from showing up. I think you've got two options here: 1. Read the already pointed to documentation carefully and edit the config step-by-step (and I really mean going through every section in the doc's and see whether it applies or not and change the config accordingly). 2. If you're just beginning with all this stuff (I think this is the case, sorry if it's not...) try another bootloader, e.g. Chameleon which is a bit more handy because it does not provide you that much information and hides most of the pro-stuff. That is, choose the correct setting for your GPU (Probably something with GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No) and give it a shot.

fusion71au Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Have a look at @pokenguyen's AIO Guides for Hackintosh and his Hackintosh Vietnam Tool to generate a good basic config.plist. Try disabling your integrated Intel Graphics in BIOS, disable graphics injection in config.plist (your NVidia should be recognised natively) and boot OSX with injected kexts (FakeSMC in EFI/Clover/Kexts/10.9) and without caches.

RockStrongbow Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) You'll have to mount the EFI partition in clover configurator and then it's under EFI -> Clover. If there is no such file, use clover configurator to create it.
