cdrhoek Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I get a line that says OW: Papa Legba, Hear My Call! What is this? It is a little more than halfway down the screen on the attached photo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/318251-verbose-boot-what-is-this-telling-me/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
smolderas Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Are you using vanilla OS X or some other "distribution"? What did you install afterwards?

cdrhoek Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 OSX installed via download from the Apple Store. Other than kexts, and Clover. All apps are from the App store. or a recognized developer. I am going to try a clean install on a spare drive and see if it still appears. Malwarebytes and ClamXAV come up clean. I am currently on OSX 10.12.2 public beta 3 (16C48b) Clover Version 3923 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/318251-verbose-boot-what-is-this-telling-me/#findComment-2323041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
smolderas Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yeah, kexts allow access from kernel level. The mentioned "Malwarebytes and ClamXAV" are propably not secure either, but don't hold that against me, if that isn't the case.

cdrhoek Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Clean install of 10.12.1 Sierra and the line is not there. Updated to 10.12.2 Public Beta 3 and the line reappeared. No other software installed. The only software that isn't from apple is FakeSMC and Clover Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/318251-verbose-boot-what-is-this-telling-me/#findComment-2325528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrhoek Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks to BreBro over on the other forum for helping me with this. It is related to eficheck.kext. Why they call on a Voodoo god I don't know. At least it doesn't appear to be malware. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/318251-verbose-boot-what-is-this-telling-me/#findComment-2325827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
