bryan51 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 This is not High Sierra specific as it happened with Sierra and likely earlier versions. The issue: On boot up i sometimes get the big O with a line through it. Usually several reboots get the system up but sometimes I need to turn off the computer for a few minutes and then try again. This happens at least 50% of the time but I've just assumed it's normal. So is it? Overall OSX has been rock solid and I'm leaning to a BIOS setting or cache thing not clearing. I just use the latest clover and no DDSTs etc. but it doesn't even get to the the Clover screen when it happens.

If you are not getting to the Clover screen, and you are getting the "STOP" sign, your system is trying to boot the macOS directly, likely the result of your UEFI loading Apple's boot.efi from the HD or SSD. I think you need to adjust your UEFI settings so it loads the Clover64.efi, not Apple's boot.efi.

I've looked in my BIOS settings but there doesn't seem to a boot option to a UEFI file (MIS-7984 mobo) just able to select drives?

bryan51 Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ok .. figured out how to add the Cloverx64.efi boot option on my MS-7984. After a little googling etc. You need to use the uefi shell from the clover menu. (if you have more than 1 efi ie. 2 drives each having one then name a copy of the config.plist to something like configEFI.plist which makes it easier to be sure about this) From the shell: go through each of the FSx options like so. FS0: ls cd \efi\clover ls to verify the correct FSx then bcfg dump boot for your enteries. mine were 00-03 then do bcfg boot add 04 FSx:\efi\clover\cloverx64.efi CloverUEFI exit and shut down On restart go into BIOS and boot options. In my case the new option was jumping out at me there but i eventually found it under a sub menu: Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities. Move the CloverUEFI option up and Bobs your uncle 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/327622-is-this-normal/#findComment-2505859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
