hi

since i cant post in developer thread, i will report it here.

i still have Snow Leopard & Lion. sometimes when i need to boot in 32bit mode, i get KP regarding AppleEFIRuntime. Booting in 64bit is ok. im sure this is a bug. tried what ever the latest clovet release and still the same KP

Thanks

This is a bug of Snow Leo. Use Clover-32 to boot it.

Sorry to bring up the same point again, but why not "load" the HFS+ icon (which is already integrated into the binary) for APFS partitions? I haven't looked at the code so excuse my question...

To reproduce issue, just delete Themes folder from Clover directory.

Hello everyone! Just an update that clover v3 is moving along well and a reminder that I need donations to continue working on v3 at a quicker pace, otherwise I'm going to have to start working on other projects to make money to like stay alive and stuff. So if you are able please make a donation, any amount helps. Thanks!

I have a little problem with updating my Vaio F11 to High Sierra:

The BIOS does not properly support EFI booting, so I am using 10.12.6 and a system partition _without_ an efi partition. This works nicely with clover in legacy mode.

My questions are now:

- Will clover still boot 10.13.2 if I do not convert to APFS and keeping clover on the system partition in the EFI directory?

- Is there any way to convert to APFS and still booting clover from the system partition instead from EFI partition?

We have boot1h to boot from HFS+ partition no matter it is Sierra or High Sierra.

We have no boot1apfs boot sector.

Hi, on my new X299-A PRIME ASUS board, when trying to:

- inject ATI

- inject FB Name

injection does not work, I just have the "RadeonFrameBuffer" FB and card is recognised as AMD Radeon HD 7xxx. I need to switch to "Futomaki" in order to properly enable DIsplayport connector.

I see in IOReg two devices:

- GFX0@0

- GFX0@0,1

Injection worked fine with the same Graphics Card and X99-A ASUS Mainboard, same configurations.

Setup: X299-A PRIME, X9 7920x, Radeon R9 270x

Clover revision: 4359

Can someone please help me to understand what is happening?

Hi guys,

I am trying to update to High Sierra 10.13.2 now. When I try to start the "macos install prebooter", a crossed circle sign will appear. The drive seems to be converted to APFS already. Strangely I seem to be able to access it from Sierra 10.12.6, which is nice. Now copying apfs.efi from /usr/standalone/i386/ to clover efi and will see what happens...

Any other idea? Thanks.

EDIT: Ok, replaced APFS.EFI, still no luck, a crossed circle.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just had to select "macOS" entry

Funky frank · December 30, 2017

Any idea how I can remove those entries "macos install prebooter" and "filevault install prebooter"? Must be caused by some additional boot files on the hs installation, but which ones are these? Would be nice if clover would show the actual detected boot/kernel file path in advanced options.

It shows you in the log, buddy. But assuming you just switched to APFS then you need to hide those container entries specially, if you search on insanely you should be able to find the method to create custom entries for them to hide them. That's the workaround for now...

EDIT: SavageAUS beat me to linking the topic.

Thanks, looks super complicated My last question would be: What for are these entries? Is it a rest from the High Sierra Updater or anything useful? Or could clover hide it by default? Since I get a crossed circle if selecting it.

Preboot is the default boot volume, the macOS partition is not supposed to be booted anymore. And yes, the installer leaves files back for whatever reason.

Funky frank · December 30, 2017

Download-Fritz: I can only boot HS by selecting "macOS", selecting any preboot will show me a crossed-circle.

That can have many reasons, most likely the booter is not launched with explicit relativeness to root (path starting with a backslash).

For now, your best bet is hiding Preboot by name, until some distant day the macOS vol is turned unbootable.

~~@DF, during testing while ago, booter on preboot doesn't come with prelinked file on that dir as usual. My best guess those booter will refuse to launch because they failed to looking that file.~~

That is not a proper solution, it should be checking the version of C that is being used, you can still disable C99 in an apple compiler and then this is an error in the opposite direction where %llx is not defined.

No... The honor is yours, if you'd like.

TheRacerMaster · December 31, 2017

Edit: I'm not sure if this is correct. This breaks building with GCC (testing with 7.2.0 on Ubuntu 17.10). GCC 7.2.0 targets gnu11 as the default standard, but UINT64 is defined as unsigned long. Building in macOS with std=gnu89 also breaks (UINT64 is still defined as unsigned long long).
