1) the story is like this:

 

I have a ECS host in Alibaba Cloud which is a legacy BIOS machine(which equipped a i440fx board but with a cascade lake cpu, and a cirrus vga,virtio ssd), and I am in trying to boot Mojave from it using clover

 

1,following the "mojave-mbr-hfs-firmware-check-patch" posts, i created the whole system image mbr formatted, in which  there were 2 partitions,one 200M fat32 named "BOOT" where clover.iso,EFI directory should lay there, and a 15G+ "OSXKVM" hfsplus part to contain the osx10.14.6

 

2,the boot loader I use is clover 5068 (I self compiled it, reverted back the Commit r3907 changes of the source tree, to avoid the "Type 0D general protection error" during clover booting - I call it "prebooting process",because it happened before the OS X Darwin kernel booting)

 

3,then I installed osx10.14.6 to the system image in a local kvm+qemu1.21 vm under linux, (the detailed qemu machine configures,certainly,are designed to micmic the remote ECS configure at the most to achieve the possibilities towards our goal,,,,,!!!except the CPU!!!!)

in local test, it succeeded in booting into the Mojave desktop(though not perfectly, see below)

 

4,after that i managed to upload the finished zipped 7.8G image to remote ECS disk, in hoping that it would also work in remote ECS, maybe it would work neverless, or maybe it would work in endless further debuging processes

 

(grub2+memdisk to load the clover.iso,I also made a tinycorelinux live system in the image to allow updating the first edition config.plist I put into the EFI directory)

2) hardware and software configuration, boot scripts,clover config, other resources involved:

 

you may guess both the vm and ecs configurations here

 

(boot.sh to boot the vm in local test) 

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm \
-machine pc-i440fx-2.1 \
-cpu Penryn,kvm=off,vendor=GenuineIntel \
-m 990 \
-device cirrus-vga,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 \
-usb -device usb-kbd -device usb-mouse \
-device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=MacHDD \
-drive id=MacHDD,if=none,cache=writeback,format=raw,file=./osxkvm10146 \
-device virtio-net-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3,mac='52:54:00:c9:18:27',netdev=MacNET \
-netdev bridge,id=MacNET,br=virbr0,"helper=/usr/lib/qemu/qemu-bridge-helper"

 

(the clover config.plist used both in vm test and remote ecs host test)

3) testing pics

 

test begin, clover rebooting works both at local vm and remote ecs

 

(in vm , after clover prebooting finished, a white screen occupy whole the "Darwin kernel verbose" lifetime ）

(in vm ,after the white screen, it finally succeeded in booting the desktop:)

(but in the remote ecs,after clover prebooting finished , it just hang at "random seed,+++++" just like what often happened wherelse,sometimes end with an auto system reboot)

 

I also got the F2->debug.log file under 2 tests:

so what may cause it fails in remote ECS while it works under a local VM, if it is the different cpu model resulted this, how can I debug to solve it, or any other clues?

 

look forwards your reply and help!
