foster Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Allowed my system to update to DP4. When I restarted it would not finish booting Noticed that FakeSMC was not allowed to load even though NVRAM shows kext-dev-mode 1 in it I was trying everything to get FakeSMC to load put the kext-dev-mode=1 as a boot arguement which was in my clover config. systen started normally I mounted my EFI partition to read the clover config into clover configurator That is when I noticed EFI had been erased. Was not hard to fix, Install clover, copy a backup of config.plist back to EFI partition Rebooted and everything works fine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299715-yosemite-1010-dp4-erased-efi-partition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Try this, erase FakeSMC from S/L/E, and put them in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10 (or "other"). After this, repair your permissions and rebuild the cache.

foster Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 It was not because FakeSMC was in S/L/E it was because was not reading any clover files from the EFI partition, the portion of the update process that occurs at a different run level before a restart erased everything in the EFI partition, which also removed the boot flag kext-dev-mode=1 While trying to get my system back up I moved FakeSMC to /Library/Extensions where some other kexts are located. I am not sure how the system was able to boot and stall with clover missing from the EFI partition.
