I encountered this problem, too. :(

UEFI boot with Clover r1942 on a Dell OptiPlex 790MT which I believe running an American Megatrends EFI software according to the boot.log.

nvram -p shows nothing.
rc.shutdown.log says "Not saving nvram.plist because booting from an UEFI firmware (American Megatrends)".

With EmuVariableUefi-64.efi enabled, got kernel panic just the same as the screenshot collac432 provided.

Any thing I can do to get nvram working?

 

BTW:

Starting the UEFI Shell from Clover GUI gives only a black screen with blinking cursor. There must be sth wrong I think.

Update:

I'm running r1958 now.

I finally got to efi shell by delete the Shell64U.efi.

 

But for the NVRAM issue, no luck. Got KP while EmuVariableUefi-64.efi enabled, and got no NVRAM value saved with  EmuVariableUefi-64.efi disabled.

Command nvram -p outputs only fmm-computer-name & SystemAudioVolume, weird.  Any variable set was gone after reboot.

 

Any thoughts?

Got KP while EmuVariableUefi-64.efi enabled,

What is the KP? At Clover phase? Then make Debug.log.

At mach_kernel phase? On what kext? Photo?

I also want to tell to all that if you want to ask a help then please provide significant information and DarwinDumper report else your message will be empty space.

mach_kernel phase, I think.

try copying cloverx64.efi to disk0s1/EFI/BOOT and renaming it bootx64.efi, then updating your boot menu accordingly.  had to do that on my machine

Nothing.. :/ but thanks for your information.

Could someone tell me if: <string>Yes</string>

 

is different than:                <boolean>YES</boolean>  or <true/>

 

I see this in CONFIG.PLIST. After reading up on Boolean It appears they have the same end result. But i'm not sure if Clover will see it this way.

Clover will parse both <string>Yes-No</string> and <true-false/> as booleans, but <boolean> won't work (does it even exist?)

 

No, there is no keyword <boolean>.

This config file was generated with Cloverconfig, For example look under ACPI You will see DropOEMSSDT's value as Boolean. There are a few more, where others are String. Which is where my question came from.  

config.plist.zip

If Cloverconfig does that then it's a bug in that app. As Slice said, "boolean" is not valid as a keyword.

 

Also, your zip seems damaged.

Oh yea, Just delete the .zip. I couldn't u/l with out that. Sorry...

 

And thanks for the answers. I'll correct the config with all strings.

Hello,

 

I got an issue with Clover(any version), it just hangs after selecting the OS. It just shows a black screen with an underscore and if I press any key it returns back to Clover select list. I've tried booting from USB/HDD with different versions and it's the same. The odd thing is that is worked before just fine, but I had to reinstall OSX(10.8).

May be you forget to update your kernel for AMD?

No, it's before the kernel is even loaded. My kernel is for AMD and it works fine with Chameleon. 

Why are you sure it is before kernel loaded? I don't think so.

Set 

	<key>GUI</key>
	<dict>
		<key>DebugLog</key>
		<true/>

and upload here the debug.log that you may find in /EFI/CLOVER/misc/

Look again your message.

Can you explain me what is the influence of OSX reinstallation on "return back to Clover select list"?

I see this as a nonsense.

Nope, not working, I've tried every possible solution I can think of. It worked so well until now. Before I reinstalled OSX I made a backup of the EFI folder just in case and it's not working with it either.

 

I remember I also had this bug in one of an early version of Clover.

Try to put DSDT into acpi/patched folder.

Then let me explain. The first time I installed clover as a bootloader it worked perfectly, no issues at all, both from USB and HDD. Now, I had to reinstall OSX and Clover does not work anymore. I don't know if it has any influence or not, trust me, it doesn't make sense to me either. Right now when I select OSX in the Clover boot menu it just does not work - black screen - if I press any key I get back to the select menu.

Already tried this, no luck.

Try all sort of versions of Clover. Such as BiosblockIo, SATA etc
