the version I have is high sierra 10.13.5 and I thought I'd give it other try, I took the efi folder that I use for high sierra and put it in the usb and so it boot... at this point I think there is something wrong with the new cloover? because with the usb it actually starts if I use the high sierra efi... in all this I disabled the Legacy USB support and tried again with the new cloover but it didn't boot... I attach the log file

to disable kexts, just leave VirtualSMC and Lilu in Other folder?

You may temporary disable kexts in Clover GUI. Type "Space" on selected entry and choose "Block kexts...".

[Slice]

I am not sure if HighSierra supports Coffee Lake.

[Montelli]

Sorry, I can't find kexts and block kext in the gui... look at the screens...but I deleted kexts from Other leaving only VirtualSMC and Lilu but when I restart the pc now clover won't start anymore, I tried to select boot from the bios but it won't start

 

in what sense is coffee lake not supported? 
I've never had problems in these years with clover 4586 and with the efi I have for high sierra... 

but now I'd like to upgrade to a new cloover and a new OS...how can I do?

 

Thank You

I want to show you what is Clover GUI. It is not CloverConfigurator

Switch on the computer

The see CloverGUI

Press "Space" and enter to Details menu

You can choose here different options to boot with

or you may choose here "Black injected kexts". 

Checked means "blocked"

Unchecked means "unblocked",  "worked"

So here FakeSMC remains injected,

IntelMCHMonitor will be blocked while present in the folder.

[Montelli]

ok thanks, I did it, but unfortunately it didn't boot, attached log file

I hope there is a way to fix it

Thank you

Next step is to disable VirtualSMC and install FakeSMC.

I see no other reasons for the stop.

[Montelli]

Ok I just injected the fakesmc kexts and Lilu but ma but unfortunately still nothing..

fakesmc kext are the same version ones I use in high sierra and they work with clover 4586...
Anyway now I show you my kext which I currently use in the old clover folder that i have been using for years

Next step I can propose is to disable some Kext or Kernel patches.

The last one is RTC patch.

[Montelli]

What should I disable?

I attach these screen, right?

Thank you

but unfortunately still nothing, I attach log file

 

What's the next step?

Thank you

Try this  EFI.zip ( replace it in the usb ) see if you can boot to here 

 

 

Click on the nvram reset icon before starting

unfortunately it didn't go
then I tried reset nvram and then opened open core and it didn't even go,
and now in the boot option bios the uefi from which clover started has disappeared....

How do I enter it again? 

Edited December 12, 2022 by Montelli

[antuneddu]

boot the disk where clover is installed

[Montelli]

the disk was UEFI Samsung SSD 960 EVO 250GB , Now I can't find it... how do I enter it again?

[antuneddu]

but have you tried to boot the opencore EFI from the usb ?

 

i see Windows boot manager in Samsung SSD 960 EVO 250GB 🤔

[Montelli]

no that doesn't work,

the correct boot entry was "UEFI Samsung SSD 960 EVO 250GB"

how do I add a boot option?

and yes I booted from usb open core and reset nvram

[Montelli]

luckily I booted macos form the backup efi toshiba usb, but how do I add the boot option from the uefi SSD?

open core gave me this screen after mac os boot:

 

 

while clover with quirks selected:

Sorry to barge in on an ongoing conversation...  See here for SSDs with potential problems.  Could the Samsung 960 be causing problems if Trim is enabled?  Has the installation been attempted with a different SSD (one on the well-supported list)?

Edited December 12, 2022 by deeveedee

[Montelli]

no all I'm doing I'm booting from usb...and after reset nvram and after boot open core, now, the Samsung SSD 960 EVO 250GB UEFI boot option is gone..

and I also noticed that every time I boot now from usb (with the backup efi) it automatically starts verbose mode even though I decide to disable from Clover GUI...

 

what is happening?

 

ps. before trying open core i tried disabling the other quirks it said Slice, but it didn't go, and I attached the log file

 

I've never had a problem with uefi starting or disappearing before today 😅

[antuneddu]

Please replace the config.plist.zip in the EFI of OC and try again

 

[Montelli]

I thank you! It booted...why was it so easy with opencore?
is open core magic?

 

Now in the boot screen I see several icons..

what i circled in the screenshot is the mac os high sierra main disk...

 

the other macos icon (not circled) is the disk called Hackintosh 10.3.5 (Backup), a backup that I had done some time ago with carbon coopy clooner

so as not to get confused how can rename that icon?

[antuneddu]

 

lol 😁 

 

Weird Clover should go too .. I don't see any image you didn't upload it ... try to install intel power gadget  https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/power-gadget.html  , it should rename the disk automatically once restarted

 

there is no network kext which you use in Clover ?
