ledbetter14 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi guys, I jumped ship from a working 10.10 Beta 4 Chameleon setup to Clover due to iMessage woes. I'm running Clover 2939 & I went GPT with two partitons at install, one journaled, one exFat. I have installed fine and can boot Yosemite from the usb installer I created but I cannot get Clover set up on the HDD. I did the same install steps as with the bootable USB with the addition of installing RC scripts, the EFI is created & mounted. From what I can tell the two EFI partitions (USB & HDD) look the same.I have a Asrock extreme4 z77 motherboard. The USB is recognised as a UEFI boot option where as the HDD is AHCI. Is that normal behaviour if Clover is installed? When set as the boot option it just spits out a message about being non-bootable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ledbetter14 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 hello clover 2 options to boot legacy boot something like chameleon uefi boot What-is-what good hack I can't find anything there that stands out. The odd thing for me is I did the same process, just on a different location for two very different results.i wouldn't even mind having to permanently use a usb stick to boot but i specifically wanted clover to fix my imessage problems and I believe that requires the efi partition on the os drive.

artur_pt Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 hello i don't see .. how that is not relevant .. is one the must important pieces of clover boot loader .. the config.plist is clover wiki .. forget chameleon .. nothing to do with clover .. to use clover u must read about .. then u can config it to work.. if u use uefi boot .. should boot verbose if any error .. and post picture .. should post also ur config plist file .. boot log or pre boot log and look what efi drivers u choose in install if u boot uefi from pen .. just copy what is inside that to ur hd efi good hack Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/301337-yosemite-boots-from-usb-wont-from-drive-clover/#findComment-2067117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledbetter14 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Ok so my board only allows legacy booting for hdd, so I went clover options from my usb boot then "add clover as boot option" or something similar. Note there will be two options menus, one will add your usb to the boot options, the other your hdd. Working like a charm now. Thanks all.
