mrjayviper Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) during installation, I opened up disk utility to: 1. format my single SSD to HFS+ 2. create an array using 4x 1TB drive (striped) Installer then copied the files into the SSD and rebooting. Clover cannot get to the disk selection screen. I've tried this process several times and it always boot loops at this point. As a test, I zeroed out the 4x HDDs (sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M count=100) using a Linux USB installer and I was able to get to the disk selection screen again. some info: 1. I'm using clover 4509 2. the 4x 1TB used to be a Windows10 striped software array and Clover had no issues with those. 3. if I insert a bootable USB (Windows or Linux or a OSX+clover for example) into any of the Intel USB2 slots, the motherboard will boot from it automatically. I've set on the bios (or is it UEFI?) to automatically add bootable USB into the boot options. 4. When I installed clover into my USB installer, I installed all drivers64 and drivers64UEFI drivers. Any suggestion on how to fix this? Thanks! Edited June 4, 2018 by mrjayviper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBP Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 clover is not able to read the disks because there is nothing for your for your bios to look at. (yes your bios has EFI support, but unless you 'load' clover into it as a add on boot option, it will not boot by default. To resolve this you can enter, manually modify the MBR for the SSD to enable a chain loader for clover, or you can manually get into the refi shell for your board and edit the cfg to add clovers boot loader.

mrjayviper Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 not sure If I understood you correctly ----------------------------------------- but during boot-up, I press F6 to load "boot disk" options and this load clover. do you mean, I need to modify some config in "EFI shell" so clover is loaded/selected automatically? In saying that: 1. if I insert a bootable USB (Windows or Linux or a OSX+clover for example) into any of the Intel USB2 slots, the motherboard will boot from it automatically. 2. the 4x 1TB HDDs used to be a Windows striped software array and no issues with clover booting then. And I'm guessing clover can't read that array too. So I'm not sure what config do I need to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
