preboot.log entry without explanation, and boot6-to-CLOVERX64.efi delay

I am making a minimal Clover build for the fastest boot possible with the boot6 file in legacy mode.

While looking at the preboot.log, I noticed that there is a line without explanation (at 0:892). Apparently, whatever it is, the execution time of it is close to 2 seconds, more than 55% of the total logged boot time in the current configuration. This does not change whether I use USB 2 or USB 3 port.

 

  1. Is there a way to eliminate or speed up the above?
  2. Also, is there anything else you can suggest to improve the performance based on the below log file?
  3. Which moment in the boot process corresponds to the start time in preboot.log?

 

The last thing I would like to understand is the delay/timeout after the boot6 file has loaded, and the number 6 disappears from the screen. For about 2 seconds or slightly less, I can press any key, and then it will enter the BIOS-like interface from the boot6 file. Without further knowledge, it seems like those 2 seconds are just delay time, and only after that is CLOVERX64.efi actually started, which, I presume, is approximately when the preboot.log timer starts. So, if the aforementioned is correct, can I get rid of this delay as well? Note that I am using the boot1f32 file to chain-load boot6, which does not include the initial 2-second wait period for a keypress.

No, I doubt you'll get very much faster. This is basically the equivalent of turning on your computer again, it has to build a bunch of stuff to work in EFI from the legacy BIOS interfaces. They are slow and you won't have very fast boot times with legacy.

2 seconds delay is made for choose between boot6 or boot7 waiting while you press a digit "6" or "7".

It is bootsector boot1f32alt

You may choose boot1f32 without this delay in the Clover Installer.

I am using an NVMe drive (for OS) on legacy-only BIOS, and there are no issues with speed, in fact, it is very fast. That is why I am interested in cutting away those seconds.

Aren't all the boot files precompiled, so that the computer or BIOS does not have to build anything?

This is not about that. As I explained, I'm already using the boot1f32 file.

There is no way to speed up what is happening there, it is not building the binaries, it is building the firmware structure for EFI by wrapping it around BIOS interfaces, it basically has to load and initialize drivers for all your hardware based on those (which is terrible and slow but the only way to interact with some stuff on legacy machines). The interfaces are what is slow which is why legacy booting is much slower than UEFI. You can't get any faster because that's as fast as legacy can get. Think of it like a little mini OS booting, your computer is basically booting twice, once in legacy mode, and then once in EFI mode. The two second timeout to choose boot6 or boot7 happens before the log is ever initialized so you would never see that in the log, as that is happening in boot6 or boot7, lol.

Thanks for the clarification! What you said about boot6 and boot7, I already knew.

 

So, does it all mean that CLOVERX64.efi is executed immediately after the moment when number 6 disappears from the screen, although you can press any key for about 2 seconds more, thus switching to the BIOS-like interface contained in the boot6 file?

      Clover Standard and Kexts - please help
      By KrzychuX86
      Hello my friends!
      First, idk if that's proper place for this post, if not, please move it.
       
      I'm trying to get Mojave working on my laptop. I have all proper kexts. Everything works great on Yosemite and Sierra, because I'm using Enoch bootloader for them. But I can't get Mojave to work with Enoch, so my only option is Clover.
      But I have some troubles with it:
      - I don't have uefi interface in my laptop, so my only option is Clover for BIOS,
      - Niresh Mojave contains only option to install Clover for UEFI. After installing it my system drops to PXE because it doesn't have UEFI so hard disk becomes non-bootable.
       
      But these problems can be solved, I "just" need to install Sierra first, which can be booted via Enoch and then I install Clover using official pkg installer, which has option to install BIOS version of Clover. Then I connect Niresh Mojave USB, Clover detects it and boots installer. I uncheck "Install bootloader" and I get bootable Mojave. Yay
       
      But the real problem is:
      Clover on my device is not working as well as Enoch. Why? Because when I'm on Enoch (for example on Sierra) my kexts for PS/2 keyboard and touchpad (Voodoo PS2 Controller kext) and for Wi-Fi are working good. They are installed in S/L/E and just works. But Clover somehow doesn't want to load them... or has something missing. System booted with Clover has not working keyboard, touchpad working as mouse and not working Wi-Fi.
       
      Guys! What I have to do to make Clover work as good as Enoch? What Enoch has that Clover hasn't? Why Clover can't load any kext EVEN from CLOVER/kexts/other?
      I have tried booting with -v but I don't see any error related to that...
      Can you help me please?
      Both Enoch and Clover configs are default ones without any modifications. 
      Any help is appreciated.
       
      P.S. I have lost all DMGs so I can't install MacOS right now, I need to redownload them but my Internet connection is very slow, so for any logs we'll need to wait. But maybe my problem is very easy to fix so I don't need to send any logs? Thanks for any answer

      Rebuild prelinked kernel at boot
      By viktr
      A few days ago I faced a problem - installed ocquirks and it somehow broke my prelinked kernel. System won't boot then, and I spent more than a day restoring from the netatalk  backup to copy working prelinked kernel directory from the backup to the s/l
      So, my question is - how to relink prelinked kernel without that? I found boot args -f UseKernelCache=No but it didn't work. I was able to boot to the recovery, if that can help.

      Hackintosh ryzen 2600x Nvidia gtx 1060 OpenCore
      By anokic
      I have been using clover to install and configuration my Hackintosh High Sierra 10.13.6. It's been a struggle and a pain. Can't restart/shutdown/wake from sleep. Random freezes. When freeze happens mouse works but in loading state. UI and open apps freeze not the mouse. I can make the apps smaller and move them.

      I haven't used any DSDT nor SSDT. Tried 5 or 6 of them from others but sometimes i end up not booting. Could someone explain me do i even need them and why? Do i need DSDT or SSDT or both?

      I'm going to try to install everything OpenCore. The first thing is i can't use a method that needs an internet while installing MacOS cause my ethernet/internet only works when i install MacOS. So i can't use the images i need full installation. Okay i have the full installation for 10.13.6. I need to use a version 10.13.4-6 versions cause application Sketch needs the newer one High Sierra 10.13.4++ version.

      Can you tell me? Can i use same kexts from Clover on OpenCore? Secondly how can i install full USB MacOS installer? (High Sierra 10.13.6 version i have is 7gb i think thats it)
      Is there a version of AMDHigh Sierra version made from the community for 10.13.4++ version?
      If i use the normal 10.13.6 High Sierra should i use this AMD 10.13.6 Kernel when i have installed the MacOS or some other kernel that's better for my system? https://github.com/Shaneee/AMD-High-Sierra-XNU/releases
      Whats the best version of High Sierra to use for Ryzen and Nvidia system?

      Will it be better to use OpenCore?

      Mortar Max B450M
      Ryzen 2600x
      Nvidia GTX 1060

      STUCK at IOconsoleUsers: GIOScreenLockState 3 [Dell desktop Inspiron 3847, i5-4460]
      By TimothyF
      My steps so far:
      Set up Catalina install USB exactly according to Plain Vanilla guide. Disconnect my Windows drive in PC, so that only the empty Hard Drive is connected to Motherboard. Boot to USB, select Install Catalina option. BIOS set to UEFI, Safe mode Off. Always get stuck at the same IOconsoleUsers: GIOScreenLockState point. Tried -radvesa, -radoff, nv-disable=0 boot options (separately), and disabling BIOS virtualization (vt-d) -> NO luck. This from the top search result https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/b5a6ry/ioconsoleusersgioscreenlockstate_3_blackscreen/  
      Screen pics attached. Here are the last couple of lines that could be important:
      GTrace synchronization point 4
      Unsupported CPU
      Unsupported PCH
      Adding ADGP mode validate property
      hmm.. mismatch sizes 3100 vs 20
      IOConsoleUsers: time(0) 0->0, lin 0, llk 1,
      IOconsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0
       
      Please give me some ideas what else might work. Thank you.
