It will be more informative if you provide Clover preboot.log in the situation.

Thank you for reply. Sorry, is not available anymore cause in the meantime I re-installed from scratch. The problem was that I have activated filevault. Now it's working fine without filevault, just wondering what extra drivers should I add to UEFI folder to be able to boot with filevault on.

Slice · May 31, 2020

There will be not a big mistake if you install all drivers that you don't know for a what.

There is full information FileVault 2

Hi,
I stuck on loading Clover r5118 logo in Scan entries,

system info :

ASUS VivoBook K571GT Laptop

Intel® Core™ i7 9750H

Intel UHD 630, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

what I did :
1. set BIOS Setting :

first Set to Default setting.
Network Stack = Disabled.
Secure Boot = Disabled.
SATA Mode = AHCI.
VT-d Option = Disabled
Intel Virtualization Technology = Enabled
Fast Boot = Disabled

2. copy install Catalina in USB flash
3. Installed Clover_r5118.pkg UEFI mode on USB flash
4. Placing required kexts in the EFI partition
5. Use config_UHD630 from RehabMan OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config
6. Then I edit config.plist as said in for coffee lake CPU config.plist
Test the USB but it stuck on loading Clover logo in Scan entries AGAIN

I installed mac OS Catalina on another ASUS Laptop (K556UQ model) Before so I know what o do, but Never stuck in this state and I don't know where this error come from, search in google but can't find a way to pass it.

I Upload EFI Folder here : google drive EFI.zip and attach Debug.log file

I add it and worked. then I choose "Boot macOS Install", after a while screen glitched with a white 'no entry icon' on it

Last Lines of debug is :

I thought it might be USB related so I add these patches in kernel and kext patching tab :

Name*: com.apple.iokit.IOUSBHostFamily
Find*: 83FB0F0F
Replace*: 83FB3F0F

Name* com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI
Find*: 83F90F0F
Replace*: 83F93F0F

BUT same problem still exist ....

@Slice

I know I said I won't bother since my hardware is quite old (X58A-UD5) but can't help but wonder why in hangs on boot now.This is the error that I get with anything past 5116. Plz tell me what is obvious that I'm missing

@Dajjal

I don't see from your picture what is the problem. Try different methods and workarounds until you get new result.

I have this ACPI issue before.

After I cancel all ACPI, it works fine for me.

Clover's DSDT Fixes are based on artificial intelligence so they may be wrong. If you encounter an error then you have two ways:

1. Found an exact reason and improve clover's sources.

2. Switch off DSDT fixes.

In the Clover changes thread, DropOEM_DSM methods were excluded after commit Rev 5116 0b7eed38f14400c8501228a30dcc023e1132cec3 by @Slice.

For my legacy BIOS desktop (GA-P55aUD3, No 2 in my signature), I had to add Clover DSDT patch "Rename oem_DSM to ZDSM" to avoid ACPI errors with newer Clover r5116+...

Jief_Machak · August 23, 2020

@hackintosh1984 What is the OSX version you are trying to boot ? HFS+ or APFS ?

D-an-W · August 30, 2020

I think the latest commit of Clover is broken, when I try and build the .app.pkg is corrupt and if I try and boot with it I get a CPU Halted error.

Some more information? I have booted with latest commit.

Morning Slice, I will try again but the first thing I noticed was the installer for the Clover.app seemed way too small and didn't actually work.

Hi @Slice

I build latest commit 1963d37 (Mojave/ Xcode as usual) with my personal script: the different size seems to be good, if I'm not mistaken. I did not try to install and boot.

Clover app standalone + Clover app.pkg

Clover app.pkg content from Pacifist

D-an-W · August 31, 2020

I tried again with 1963d37 but got the same result...

Tried again with latest commit, gives the same error with .app going to see if it boots now...

I confirm the problem

using Xcode 11.2.1
- Building Clover.app...
** BUILD FAILED **

CompileSwiftSources normal x86_64 com.apple.xcode.tools.swift.compiler

(53 failures)

But I see no reason for this.

Slice · August 31, 2020

Looks like headers became inaccessible because they changed. All structures should be redefined for Clover.app .

I guess this commit is the reason, on top of the header some 'imports' are also commented out. Can't work. Maybe Jief has posted something about it but I didn't realize he modified the bridging header, which reproduce some Clover's definitions. Restored.
