Hi!
 
I'm using Clover on Yosemite DP2 and I have a few problems.
 
First, I've generated a MacBookPro6,2 profile using Clover Configurator but in System Report I don't see the 1.58f17 SMC version. Instead there is a 1.32f8 key that belongs to a MacBook5,1.
 
Second. System Report is showing a 2.13 GHz bus speed. I don't know if this is correct but I think it should show the "Processor Interconnect Speed" (QPI, wich is 4,8 GT/s). FIXED:

<key>QPI</key>
<string>4800</string>

Any help is welcome, regards and sorry my english!

@Maniac10 Thanks for the reply!

 

I see this line in platformdata.c

	{0x01, 0x32, 0x0F, 0, 0, 0x08},  //"MacBook5,1",

But there isn't a line for the MacBookPro6,2.

 

Should I add this for example?

{0x01, 0x58, 0x0F, 0, 0, 0x17}, //"MacBookPro6,2",

@arsradu - what do you mean boot logo at startup for yosemite?  do you mean an icon for 10.10 in the clover GUI? or doing boot of the OS (i get a progress bar instead of the spinning circle under the apple.  i just added a new OS X yosemite icon (os_yos.icns)  to my ThinkPad Theme today.

The second one. I'm pretty sure the progress bar is intended (instead of the boring and not accurate spinning wheel), but the missing Apple logo that should be displayed on top of it, is not. In a nutshell, I've got no Apple logo at OS boot time. Any idea why?

I hope this does not upset anyone but I am a sort of newbie to Clover.  I have had great success with Chameleon but now have a UEFI Gigabyte motherboard and want to quad-boot Mavericks, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04.  Here is my issue:

 

1st I get Mavericks installed with Clover working great but then I go and install Windows 7 and it adds the legacy Boot from HD# and Boot Microsoft EFI and I need to know how to change the name to show Windows 7.

 

2nd when I install Windows 8.1 it then creates the stupid Windows Bootloader for 7 and 8.1 which I want to get rid of and have Clover see both 7 and 8.1 as individual OSes not Microsoft EFI to get into them.

 

3rd is how to install Ubuntu in UEFI to get Clover to boot it.  I can install it but the Clover only goes to a black screen with blinking cursor when I choose Ubuntu.

 

Any advice would be great.

 

Thanks,

If the model is not there then you'd be better off asking the devs to include it as it may require much more work than simply adding the respective keys. There are many variables you probably won't know that are injected automatically by Clover. For now you can try changing the MacBook5,1 key only and see if it's injected.

Nobody is getting Yosemite's boot logo with Clover yet and we still don't know why exactly.

hi fellas, im a clover newbie...

now my system starts with mounted efi volume on desktop after the last clover update!!!

how can i get rid of this efi volume

 

thx in advance

Use Terminal:

 type diskutil list  (note which mounted volume is the disk of interest

type cd /

type cd Volumes then type  ls   (shows you the mounted Volumes - one is using the EFI

type sudo umount -f /dev/diskxs1  (x being the disk number)

enter admin password and (EFI should be dismounted)

type exit and close Terminal app

 

I think it's left mounted so you can load FakeSMC in the EFI/Clover/kexts/10.#

@maniac10 - i can boot the 10.9.3 Recovery HD - however, the 10.10 Recover HD seems to confuse clover - as the GUI list 3 items instead of 2. (OSX, OSX, Recovery on OSX versus Recovery on RecoverHD)  for some reason clover does not see as a Recovery HD  

 

i think it gets confused because on yosemite Recovery HD there is a System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi which was not there on mavericks

There's no "System" folder in my Yosemite Recovery Partition. What's in the folder, besides boot.efi?

Such a mystery… For now try renaming boot.efi to boot.off or something else and try again, those files should not be necessary anyway or at least they aren't for my system. I've also updated to DP2 but the Recovery partition was left untouched, were all those files there before the update?

I'm pretty sure the progress bar is intended (instead of the boring and not accurate spinning wheel), but the missing Apple logo that should be displayed on top of it, is not. In a nutshell, I've got no Apple logo at OS boot time. Any idea why?

FWIW, I get a white screen with Apple logo and the progress bar underneath in Yosemite DP2 - legacy boot on my old BIOS based laptop using either Clover r2721 or Chameleon_2.2svn_r2380_10.10_CBv2.  I use a MBP 5,1 SMBIOS and the progress bar goes the entire way to completion to the log in screen.

 

post-846696-0-34750300-1403339269_thumb.jpg

That was discussed pages and pages ago. I don't think anyone really knows why, actually.

Hey will Clover ever be able to boot Yosemite without caches? That was quite a hairball situation I just got myself out of and was only able to do so by using Chameleon. Rather not have to do that in the future. Just curious.

+1

Clover is my preferred bootloader but I've been doing a bit of experimenting lately with @crazybirdy's chameleon r2380 by chainloading it from legacy Clover boot1f32alt---->chameleon second phase "boot1" in EFI, pressing <1> during the 2 second wait period.

 

Any progress with Clover booting without caches in Yosemite?

Not a major issue but I can confirm that Chameleon r2380 is able to do this in OSX 10.10 and it is useful in certain situations when normal boot fails due to kernelcache problems.

 

Also wondering how many people using Clover still use kext-dev-mode=1 in Yosemite?

I can actually boot to Yosemite without it and quite a few people in the chameleon thread omit this flag - FakeSMC.kext and VoodooPS2Controller.kext still load because they are in Apple's kext exclude list....

 

eg Verify kext is loadable using kextutil -tn terminal command

#####-MacBook-Pro:Extensions #####$ kextutil -tn FakeSMC.kext
Diagnostics for FakeSMC.kext:
Code Signing Failure: code signature is invalid
FakeSMC.kext appears to be loadable (including linkage for on-disk libraries).
#####-MacBook-Pro:Extensions #####$ kextutil -tn VoodooPS2Controller.kext
Diagnostics for VoodooPS2Controller.kext:
Code Signing Failure: not code signed
VoodooPS2Controller.kext appears to be loadable (including linkage for on-disk libraries).

Hi,

If this is a question then provide full boot.log.

FWIW, I get a white screen with Apple logo and the progress bar underneath in Yosemite DP2 - legacy boot on my old BIOS based laptop using either Clover r2721 or Chameleon_2.2svn_r2380_10.10_CBv2.

Thank you for the screenshot. I'm using Clover in UEFI mode. I haven't paid much attention to this when it was in legacy mode (I tried it once before). But I'm pretty sure the logo wasn't there even then. This is weird...

Your screen looks white with black loading bar. Mine is black (most of the time), with the white loading bar underneath. The loading bar never reaches the end of the line. It switches to the second stage (white background) when it reaches about 50% loading. After that, it seems to be loading something again, for a very short time (1-2 seconds), on a white background (the loading bar is still white on a dark background though...which looks kinda odd), then it goes into login screen and asks for password. After that, everything is normal. But during this time....no, I've got no boot logo. But apparently I've got myself a selfie in the monitor's reflection. lol

By the way, I think it should be on a black background. (I've seen it running on a Mackbook Pro and it was black with a white loading bar AND a white Apple logo). So I'm pretty sure that's the way it should be...in the end. Or maybe it depends on what you've got (MackBook, iMac etc...). For some people is black loading bar on white background (with a logo), for others is white loading bar on a black background (apparenlty with no logo) :)

Have a look at the attached pictures for more info.

Hi!

 

I'm using Clover on Yosemite DP2 and I have a few problems.

 

First, I've generated a MacBookPro6,2 profile using Clover Configurator but in System Report I don't see the 1.58f17 SMC version. Instead there is a 1.32f8 key that belongs to a MacBook5,1.

 

Second. System Report is showing a 2.13 GHz bus speed. I don't know if this is correct but I think it should show the "Processor Interconnect Speed" (QPI, wich is 4,8 GT/s). FIXED:

<key>QPI</key>
<string>4800</string>
Any help is welcome, regards and sorry my english!

 

 

SMC versions are hardcoded in Clover so it will need to be updated by the devs or yourself if you compile your own (rEFIt_UEFI/Platform/platformdata.c). Are these the latest versions?

 

 

@tluck: I can boot to Yosemite's Recovery partition just fine with Clover. Do you inject FakeSMC while booting to it?

 

I want to share my progress on this.

 

I was experimenting with Clover's source code. More specifically with Platform.h and platformdata.c files.

 

I add this line to Platform.h under typedef enum:

    MacBookPro62,
And in platformdata.c I add this lines, always in the same position under their respective keys:

  "MBP61.88Z.0057.B0F.1112091028",
  "Mac-F22586C8", 
  "12/09/11", 
  "MacBookPro6,2",
  "MacBookPro",
  "1.0",
  "CK1093T7AGW",
  "MacBook-Aluminum",
  "NA",
  {0x01, 0x58, 0x0F, 0, 0, 0x17},
  0x7b002,
    case MacBookPro62:
*Under AppleFirmwareVersion, AppleBoardID, AppleReleaseDate, AppleProductName, AppleFamilies, AppleSystemVersion, AppleSerialNumber, AppleChassisAsset, SmcPlatform, SmcRevision, SmcConfig and SetDMISettingsForModel respectively. I think when a key is missing from SMBIOS in config.plist, Clover takes it from here. The only info I couldn't find for MacBookPro6,2 were "SmcPlatform" and "SmcConfig" so I've taken it from MacBookPro5,1.

 

Then I builded a pkg, installed Clover and now is recognizing the 1.58f17 revision in System Report. I'm totally noob in programming/coding but I got it using Xcode and CloverGrower.

 

Hope this can help. Thanks to Maniac10 for show me the way.

 

That's it! Regards!

Hi, Slice and the Clover team!

 

I think I need some help with my 1201n Atom netbook: I cannot boot with any version of Clover, cannot even get to the Clover menu. As soon as the system finishes posting, it gets stuck with a black screen with a blinking cursor, just like it would if no bootable disk was being found. I'm using CloverEFI (that is, legacy, not UEFI) installed on a FAT-formated 4GB USB stick.

 

Any help would be much appreciated. If needed, I can post my config.plist and a list of the efi drivers I'm using - let me know.

 

All the best!

P.S.: I redid the installer from scratch, same issue. This time using an 8 GB MBR/HFS+ USB disk with a 10.9.2 installer. Don't know why I can't even get to the boot menu, so I can get any debug info. Really lost now.


P.P.S.: pressing F2 won't sabe the preboot.log in /EFI/Clover/misc!

 

P.P.P.S.: Adding the boot7 file dmazar posted here            #943             didn't change a thing!

 

P.P.P.P.S.: Well, my hardware must be suffering serious incompatibility issues: following the instructions here FAQ took me nowhere, perhaps because it's really not a black screen, but a black screen with a blinking cursor. Even the dreaded "7" described here FAQ doesn't appear!

In fact, not exactly with it: he's developing a new patch for on-the-fly kernel patching for Atom CPU. The issues I'm experiencing are quite old and are with Clover itself: I never really got it to run with my 1201N - had a previous Atom netbook and it was also hard as hell to get it running (see the post from dmazar I linked). 

 

Now, I decided to create a DMG from my USB installer, reformat it as GUID (it was MBR) and then restore the DMG to the newly created GPT volume. Then install Clover - if needed, since it should perhaps already be there when I restore the DMG - and try all over again. Will report soon.

 

All the best!


P.S.: It worked!

 

This time I selected Install boot0af in MBR (was using boot0ss before) and CloverEFI 32-bits. Don't know which one worked, or if both are needed.
