moris Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi! I have a GA-EX58-ud3R rev1.6 bios FK, pretty old but seems UEFI capable. I installed on a USB in UEFI only mode on ESP (before, I zapped boot sectors with Gdisk> expert> zap GPT and blank MBR). here's the install log: ====================================================== Installing BootSectors/BootLoader Stage 0 - Don't write any of boot0af, boot0md, boot0ss to /Volumes/usbUEFIClover Stage 1 - Don't write any of boot1h2, boot1f32alt, boot1xalt to /Volumes/usbUEFIClover ====================================================== =========== Clover EFI Installation Finish =========== ====================================================== When I boot, clover is on r5117, EFI rev 2.10 firmware tianocore r4096. (Same result with my ssd, other Usb key, or if I boot on the key with no other disk, just to be shure its comming from this installer). If I install, Legacy (with boot0af on mbr) on ESP, same rev 2.1... Only when I install Legacy on root, I have EFI 2.7 last firmware. My guess is that when gigabyte introduced >2To capability in bios FJ, they used ESP boot capability with the tianocore firmware. What do you think? I would like to be able to boot on ESP, in order to leave the system partition clean and benefit from the last firmware abilities (graphics refresh is another world in 2.7). We explored multiple tracks with Pene (thanks again), but I didn't find any solution and found some users with the same issue, without any solution, yet. regards Nico ps: mac-pro-1:~ studio$ cd /Volumes/EFI mac-pro-1:EFI studio$ ls -lA total 3 drwxrwxrwx 1 studio staff 512 13 mai 14:16 .Spotlight-V100 drwxrwxrwx 1 studio staff 512 13 mai 14:42 .fseventsd drwxrwxrwx 1 studio staff 512 13 mai 14:42 EFI mac-pro-1:EFI studio$ mac-pro-1:EFI studio$ cd /Volumes/usbUEFIClover mac-pro-1:usbUEFIClover studio$ ls -lA total 24 -rw-r--r--@ 1 studio staff 8196 13 mai 15:01 .DS_Store drwxr-xr-x 2 studio staff 68 13 mai 14:21 .PKInstallSandboxManager drwx------ 5 studio staff 170 13 mai 14:12 .Spotlight-V100 drwx------ 5 studio staff 170 13 mai 14:27 .fseventsd drwxr-xr-x 2 studio staff 68 13 mai 14:16 EFI-Backups drwxr-xr-x 4 studio staff 136 13 mai 14:18 Library drwxr-xr-x 3 studio staff 102 12 mai 06:31 usr mac-pro-1:usbUEFIClover studio$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moris Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Not really a problem, I m scratching the surface and exploring possibilities. I m just trying to understand why I have a different firmware loading. Is it relative to my bios, or to the clover installer? Btw thanks a lot for all the work you do for us!Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant TapatalkNot really a problem, I m scratching the surface and exploring possibilities.

moris Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Cool, so I don’t understand why I boot 2.1 installing UEFI mode only on ESP. With same settings, I can see a big difference between 2.1 and 2.7. If I change resolution on 2.1 it takes seconds for example and in 2.7 it’s almost instant. 2.7 is quicker to load too. I was trying to benefit from it and keeping my system partition free from extra files. That’s why I’m trying to have last firmware AND ESP installation.

moris Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Yes I could, if somebody who knows well what firmwares are installed by clover could confirm that I have a chance to install 2.7 instead of 2.1. Maybe you? Don’t want to bother. I mean all users installing last clover with UEFI get last firmware. My question is: is 2.1 part of your installer? That would be an answer for others in the same case. Best regards Nico Edited May 13, 2020 by moris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
