Hello and happy new year everyone,

 

I have been trying to get my "old" computer running completely on Sierra for a few weeks now (before Christmas).  I had been on Snow Leopard for 6 or 7 years.  Was a fast setup then.  Will build new rig in next couple months...  anyhow.

 

I have a stable running Sierra.  No freezes, have internet, sound, video.  Have 2 issues main issues;

 

Issue 1 - Clover cannot detect Windows 10.  Clover cannot auto-boot.

> Sierra is on SSD
> Windows 10 & Snow Leopard are on different partitions of WD 2TB HDD

> Connected to Intel SATA 0, 1, 2, 3 slots

> Upon boot, Clover only displays the 2 apple drives; OS X Sierra & Recovery (does not auto boot)

> Here's the strange thing.  When I navigate to EXIT CLOVER, Clover resets/refreshes/reboots.  Now it can see all the attached drives.

> From here, I can select Windows or Sierra.  Not the best experience.

 

Issue 2 - OS X does not shut down.  

> So many people that have this issue.  On Shutdown, screen goes black, systems just hangs.  

 

What I've tried.

> Pressing F2 at First Clover boot (the 2 drives) and also on second iteration (all drives displaying).  This shows the preboot.log.  Seems the first time, Scanning doesn't work for some reason.

> I have attached preboot1 and reboot 2 for context.

> Clover Configurator - I have selected FixShutdown and Halt Enabler in ACPI.  Doesn't do anything for Shutdown.

> Scan is set to Legacy.  Timeout set to 3 seconds.  

> DefaultBootVolume set to LastBootedVolume

 

Attached

1. 2 screens; Volumes from Finder / the 2 screens from Clover.  

2. preboot logs

3. config.plist

 

So many thanks for anyone willing to take a look and help me troubleshoot.  Been tinkering over 2 weeks now.

Evening Maldon,

 

I removed the DSDT.aml file from the /patched folder and doesn't make any difference on my system that I can tell.  Everything still works fine.  Still have the same 2 issues.

 

I'll be busy the next couple days, but come mid-week, I will use this guide here to edit my DSDT if you can tell me what I need to do.

Attached 

1. dsl of my DSDT (I think).  In Clover boot loader, pressing F4, it saves the tables to ACPI > origin folder.  I was going to compile and attach the DSDT extracted from my machine (not the pre-made ones found online based on my board).  Says I have 2 errors however so I'm stuck.

2. Screen shot of the 2 errors.

 

Oh, fyi, I updated to the most updated Clover version and changed my System Def to Macpro5,1 like you said.  Still unable to shut down.

 

Thanks.

Hi everyone, 

 

Last update for the evening.

 

If I modify the folder name EFI > BOOT to EFT > BOOT_OFF what this does is, basically EXIT CLOVER and reboots Clover and then I am able to see the attached drives.

 

What foolishness is this?  Why does this happen?

 

Still no auto-boot however.  

 

A good evening to all...

 

Eric

in ur case, Clover have all good patches for ur mobo, without patched DSDT work good, Clover patched for u, need only patch for shutdown, the clover shutdown patch don't work in ur case  ;)

try it for shutdown, uncheck all patches in Clover/Acpi

DSDT.aml.zip

Thank you for your wizardry MaLd0n...

 

The dsdt you patched for me worked.  I also removed all Clover patches like you instructed.

 

I was able to shut down completely twice.  Will report back if still have issues.

 

*if this was reddit, i'd give you a gold star*

 

Muito obrigado pela sua ajuda. Sem você, eu precisaria gastar muitas, muitas mais horas, na solução de problemas. Bênçãos para você, irmão.
