Wow! Do you have new macpro identifier? Could you share us the youtube URL?

 

Thanks,

my identifier is still mac mini 6,2 but i changed everything else in this vid.

Hello All,

 

After reviewing the ati.c source some more and looking hard at the other ATI graphics cards with Device IDs around 6749 (e.g. the HD6570, Device ID 0x6759, and HD6670, Device ID 0x6758, most closely match the three connector output style of the v4900), I estimated that the Pithecia chip family is highly likely correct for the v4900. Note that the Device IDs listed for the 6570 and 6670 do indeed have odd looking values (out of sequence relative to model number).

 

Anyhow, after determining this, I decided to test this by adding the FirePro to the ati.c listing right before 0x674A, setting everything up appropriately, compiling, creating a test 1179 build package, installing on my flash drive, and booting again. After waiting about 90 seconds while the Clover booting system inspected the system, I have finally reached the Main Clover GUI screen. I will test this more and see what happens next.

 

When I am pleased with the results, I would like to update the ati.c source code. What is the proper procedure to add this change to the Clover source? Should the exact line be posted for someone else to add the change? The line is:

 

{ 0x6749, 0x00000000, CHIP_FAMILY_TURKS, "ATI Radeon FirePro V4900", kPithecia },

 

Sincerely,

 

rd8111

Thank you for the contribution! Commited.

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble booting to OS X when I use Clover (USB) as my bootloader. I've been looking for answers for about 4 hours now, and I haven't been able to find anything.

 

When I try booting normally, I get an error. The last few lines of it are

Error allocating 0xedb pages at 0x00000000009ea000 alloc type 2
Loading 'mach_kernel'...
......Error allocating 0x535 pages at 0x0000000000200000 alloc type 2
Error loading kernel 'mach_kernel' (0x9)
sleeping 10 seconds before exit...

 

If I add the flag "WithKexts", I get my root device uuid, a "Loading drivers" notice, several lines of dots, then

Error allocating 0xb pages at 0x0000000000ff7000 alloc type 2
Could not allocate driver module memorysleeping 10 seconds before exit...

 

 

I have also tried to go through the steps listed here, but I cannot find OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi anywhere on my drive, and all my searches for downloads have come up empty.

 

It's like my teacher said. The best way to solve the problem is to ask the right question. 5 minutes after my original post, I found OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi in the ISO download of Clover. I'm still getting an error

AtherosNewma40P2PInterface::init name <p2p0> role 1 this 0xffffff8025cfc000

 

but this looks much more managable than what I was getting before.

 

Current System:

i7 3770k

GA Z77-DS3H

Internal graphics until this can get resolved, then planning on AMD 7870 Eyefinity 6.

Thanks for Clover team for lots hard work and good effect ATI6000Controller.kext your loader Kernel And Kext Patches its worked my system. My card is xfx 6950 2gb .this patch doesn't work without patch AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext inside Accelerator [/system/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext/Contents/MacOS]. I search lots pages but no where no detail about this patch.mac osx every single update i download patched kexts and use it. I need to know how to patch AMDRadeonController what kind data find and replace. I expect the solution from you guys.

I upload patch kexts and ioreg file thank you.

Hi, regarding to ATI connectors patching here #9 , I'm wondering why it doesn't make any difference for my ATI card. I've just tried with a hope having HDMI audio. My HD 7870 has 4 ports (2xminiDP, 1xHDMI, 1xDVI-D). Now it works just fine (except HDMI audio) with futomaki, and ioreg lists as below;

 

@0 - 0x400 = DP

@1 - 0x400 = DP

@2 - 0x4 = DVI-D

@3 - 0x800 = HDMI

 

However when I dumped with radeon_bios_decoder, I got these;

 

@0 - DP

@1 - DP

@2 - HDMI-A

@3 - DVI-I

@4 - DVI-I (not sure about this extra connector - DVI-Dual link?)

 

Fortunately all SenseID are already matched. So, What I thought that I only need to switch between HDMI and DVI-D. Then I added this in config.plist;

 

 

<key>KernelAndKextPatches</key>
<dict>
<key>ATIConnectorsController</key>
<string>7000</string>
<key>ATIConnectorsData</key>
<string>00040000040300000001010012040401000400000403000000010200220505020400000014020000000103000000060600080000040200000001040011020103</string>
<key>ATIConnectorsPatch</key>
<string>00040000040300000001010012040401000400000403000000010200220505020008000004020000000104001102010304000000140200000001030000000606</string>
</dict>

 

I have no problem to boot OS X using either DVI or HDMI port, but when I check in ioreg connector 3 and 4 are not switched as expected. I tried few times with kernelcache and WithKexts, still no difference.

 

Am I doing it right? Or maybe dumping legacy vbios has a relation to this. Because this card now has legacy and efi vbios. Thanks

 

 

[EDIT] Never mind, It works with direct kext patching (KextToPatch) btw.

[aikidoka25]

I have clovergrower, before it generated a package Clover_v2_rL994.pkg but now with version 1214 that package is nowhere to find.

I notice it replaced by a 33 smaller packages.

 

Say I have zero knowledge on Clover, how I am going to install it on a USB flash disk?

Which one to execute?

 

EDIT:

I think there is an error while generating that pkg. Any idea how I can fix it?

Type 'm' To make Clover_v2_rL1214.pkg...

copy User rc Files To Package
cd to src/edk2/Clover/CloverPackage and run ./makepkg.

Hi, i write this post for three reasons:

The first is to thank all the developers that are making Clover the most powerful bootloader ever.

 

Second i want to ask Slice where can i find the release notes?

 

Third, I can't fix the boot screen resolution on Aptio Bios.

I have an ASUS laptop with 2 graphics cards ( NVIDIA GT650m and HD4000) but the nvidia is disabled with a dsdt method.

To fix this i tried:

- CsmVideo driver with allt the possible flags GInjector=Yes/No, PatchVBios=Yes/No (in both the graphics cards) and EDID Injector but couldn't reach the clover boot menu

- All the above graphics flags without CsmVideo driver but the only one that works is GI=No, PatchVBios=No and EDID Injection.

The last configuration let me reach the clover boot menu with a resolution of 1024x768 (in the preboot.log i have the voice SetMaxResolution: found best mode 0: 1024x768 - alredy set). When i get into the ML's log in, i can see only 1/4 of screen. The Display pref pane reports the right resolution (1920x1080), but i don't get the right view of the screen till i don't downgrade the resolution to 1600x900 and upgrade to 1920x1080.

My driver64UEFI are: Aptiobiosfix, FSInject-64, EmuVariable, osxFatBinary, osxLowmemfix, VbosHFS

Does anyone have any idea to resolve my problem?

[braindeadmac]

I get a Memory Slot Utility error with most recent versions of Clover. The problem went away somewhere before r1208 (works), but resurfaced somewhere around 1212 (does not work). Is that a change in SMI? I'm using Clover with legacy boot for an EVGA SR-2, 2 processors, all 12 memory slots fully populated.

 

Or is it related to the "malformed smbioses" fixes in revision 1199 with all the changes in /rEFIt_UEFI/Platform/smbios.c ? I can't see any revisions to this after 1208...Well know that I know where to look I'll look at it more closely.

[Maniac10]

Try asking in the Clover thread at ProjectOSX forums. Since last week Apianti has been actively working on fixing memory detection with some users.

[braindeadmac]

Thanks Maniac10

[>Federico<]

Even for me Clover 1208 has a bug about the ram, it gives me 4gb more e.g. I have installed 8 gb but it detects 12 gb. is there any fix for this?

Have the same problem.

Today I'd decided to look at Clover anew.

Moreover Clover show me incorrect frequence of RAM. And doesn't show some information such a Serial Number and so on.

I asked Slice about it and he told me that Apianti engage in it and he doesn't want to impede to him.

Hello guys, I really would like to replace Chameleon with Clover, I currently dualboot Windows 8 and OS X but Windows 8 does not boot at all. I select the Windows icon and then later I get some sort of weird square mark, which means either Clover didn't find it or something else is wrong. Anybody know what's wrong?

Either you chosed the wrong partition, or lagacy-boot doesn't work on your motherboary.

How many partitions of ntfs(partitions of windows) do you see?

You can also try the keys "PBR" and "PBRtest". If it won't bring a kind of success. It means that legacy-boot doesn't support your motherboard alas!

Originally Windows 8 creates a 100mb EFI partition, which I think is for the Windows bootloader, and then there is the Windows 8 partition. I deleted the EFI partition, so maybe this is what Clover is looking for? It doesn't matter since I needed to reformat anyways because OS X runs very good... and Windows 8 is boring lol.

 

Thanks though!

Don't know what Windows creates or not. But every mbr-Windows needs in the Extra Partition called "System reserved"

If you had deleted it, it would figure that you cannot load Windows. Even almighty Chameleon won't able to load Windows in this case!

[X-TRiAL]

Yes Windows creates a 100MB EFI partition if you are installing Windows 8 via UEFI and using the installer to modify your partition layout.

This is not true I have Windows 8, Ubuntu 12.10, and OS X 10.8.3 all booting off the same HDD. I have no partition called 'System Reserved', however I did once have it, but I think what happened is that it got deleted at the beginning of my installations. I have Clover installed and booting all operating systems fine.

Are you saying you can boot with Chameleon and not Clover, or are you saying Windows 8 does not boot regardless of the bootloader?

AFAIK the 100MB partition is also used for Bitlocker (lol who uses it anyway as it also requires a TPM chip to work properly on boot HD)

Hi there,

i'm a little lost getting my Custom SSDT working, need some fresh ideas, cause system stucks in a kind of loop, does not switch to desktop, if a custom ssdt is loaded (no custom DSDT) Booting in single user mode is ok, but after exiting this, it will not switch to desktop. If i remove custom SSDT it works as desired, but X86Plugin is not loaded.

 

Ok, i switched from Chamelon to Clover-UEFI boot. Within Chamelon SSDT works, X86Plugin is loaded, Speedstep is ok!

 

I dumped with UEFI-Clover my OEM-Tables:

[k3nny]

Hi, how did you create your SSDT? Maybe it causes the problem. This script works pretty well.

 

The right approach would be not to drop existing SSDTs with Clover and to supply your SSDT via ACPI/patched. The file name suffix after SSDT doesn't matter.

You also might want to try another SMBIOS model setting.

 

EDIT:

You can attach files in an archive.

 

EDIT2:

Slice is right, Clover supports SSDT generating for Ivy Bridge, too.

Edited April 9, 2013 by k3nny

Set in config

 <key>GenerateIvyStates</key>

Instead of older set of ACPI keys.

Hi k3nny, i read your other asus Thread here, got some ideas from there. Ssdt was generated by the Script from Pike. I will try to attach Logs later.

Im currently using macmin6,2 as Modell, wil try later imac13,2.

 

Bye

[iStigPL]

skinmunster: please attach your original ssdt

[skinmunster]

skinmunster: please attach your original ssdt

 

Ok, added in previous post.

 

@All: Seems to be fixed now - after changing systemtype from Macmini6,2 to iMac13.2, custom ssdt is loaded and applied, going to desktop. Now X86-Plugin is also loaded (hook inside custom ssdt). Got now 16,35,37,38,39 as CPU-Pstates, if i remember right same as with iMac-Definition / Chamelon. With MacMini6.2/Chamelon i got some more in the middle, like 23 ..

 

@Slice: I also tried GenerateIvyStates (without custom ssdt), but only getting CPU-States 16 and 35, and no X86-Plugin loaded.

 

Wondering why MacMini doesn't work here?

 

Ok, finished for this evening, thank you all for fast help! Will come back tomorrow.

You just made multiple mistakes.
