Reduce BIOS overclock. It is too big!

Thanks again !

The same problem remained without any BIOS overclock.

Two debug logs are attached:

The first one when "O" was entered and crashed with red screen errors showing.

The second one after successful booting of Big Sur 11.3 beta.

I've visit the Sinetek's page and noticed that he had updated the kext 11 days ago. Now, with this new version everything works just fineย :thumbsup_anim:

ย 

Can you kindly share the URL please as I have not found it? GitHub has a project but it seems abandoned.... Thank you (or send me a PM to not flood this thread, better)

Hi everyone,ย @Sliceย and @Jief_Machakย thank you again for your hard work.

Is the key/functionย DeleteUnused of any use, these days? What is it supposed to do today? I recall that it was supposed to remove Device XYZ from DSDTs/ACPI Tables, but specific names like floppies or other generic-named devices.

Can you briefly comment on itsย usefulness in Clover releases from the past 1-2 years? (or even r5xxx)

ย 

Coming back to Clover discussion and knowledge, please can I kindly ask you @Sliceย on this Clover key? Does it really have a meaning? Is it trying to remove Device (XYZ) from a fixed-list of known devices for example? (that aren't Mac supported anyway) Thank you.

This key will delete these devices 

    DsdtLen = DeleteDevice("CRT_"_XS8, temp, DsdtLen);
    DsdtLen = DeleteDevice("DVI_"_XS8, temp, DsdtLen);
    //good company
    DsdtLen = DeleteDevice("SPKR"_XS8, temp, DsdtLen);
    DsdtLen = DeleteDevice("ECP_"_XS8, temp, DsdtLen);
    DsdtLen = DeleteDevice("LPT_"_XS8, temp, DsdtLen);
    DsdtLen = DeleteDevice("FDC0"_XS8, temp, DsdtLen);
    DsdtLen = DeleteDevice("ECP1"_XS8, temp, DsdtLen);
    DsdtLen = DeleteDevice("LPT1"_XS8, temp, DsdtLen);

Why are you interesting?

Hi @Sliceย thank you for your valuable input on the deeper features of Clover.

As mentioned in my earlier post, I amย in the process of updating the guides in my hack repo and wanted to ask you, since you have access and understanding of Clover code.

I have been usingย DeleteUnused for years but I had a feeling that this was no longer needed as it was most likely addressing to older PCs and their ACPI tables, with device names that no longer exist in modern PCs (last 5-6 years at least).

So thanks for confirming thatย DeleteUnused=TRUEย key is no longer needed on my hacks!

In the past, on very old PC this patch was very useful to switch from black screen to working system.

The same problem remained without any BIOS overclock.

Two debug logs are attached:

The first one when "O" was entered and crashed with red screen errors showing.

The second one after successful booting of Big Sur 11.3 beta.

Install OpenRuntime.efi.

@Jief_Machak

See. For legacy boot we lived without AptioMemoryFix and all was good.

Then we switch to OpenRuntime that does almost same functions switched on-off by Quirks.

Then we switch to Clover+OC and now legacy boot can't works without OpenRuntime. Red Screen panic. Why?

The problem seemsย related to ConsoleGop?

Thanks.

But install OpenRuntime.efi in EFI/CLOVER/drivers/BIOS still got the same crash if "O" was selected during booting.

I guess there's something incompatibility in BOOTX64.efi after Clover + OC integration because it occurred before in AMD CPU hackintoshs with older Clover too.

If there is legacy boot then BOOTX64.EFI is unused.

The chain is follow

BIOS-> MBR-> PBR-> boot (for example boot6)-> CLOVERX64.efi

because boot6 directly calls /EFI/CLOVER/CLOVERX64.EFI

ย 

AMD CPU is very different story.

The problem is follow:

When we start legacy Clover without OpenRuntime then start system by timeout then Clover crashed.

It happen with Clover 5129+ but not with 5128.

Can you compile and test new commit? I am not sure you have the same issue.

Your break is inside DUET i.e. boot6 file. Try to use another one from older revision.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply and kind help.

I just waked up and my mind is not so clear now.

I have no experience to compile the new commit of Clover.

Can you show me how to get proper older revision of DUET i.e. boot6 file because I found copy from 10.11.6 Partition/usr/standalone/i386/boot or /i386/x64/boot6 to Legacy USB and rename to boot can not solve this problem.

Do you think re-install with Clover r.5128 or older version can fix it ?

Open any old release. For example 5103

https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/releases/tag/5103

Downloadย CloverV2-5103.zip

Unpack.

Take CloverV2-5103->Bootloader->x64->boot6

Rename it to "boot" and copy to /Volumes/EFI/

I have followed your suggestion step by step and the result is the same as before:

I can boot to desktop of Big Sur without any problem, but got red screen crash immediately if select "O" on booting menu for Option.

So it could be related to the newer CLOVERX64.efi which integrated with OpenCore causing such an unexpected abnormal phenomenon.

Can you provide any new CLOVERX64.efi for me to test/fix it ?

I can provide you new Clover only at evening when I will at home. May be someone else can compile latest commit?

Anyway your question is in priority. I will investigate it.

Thanks for your kind help and prompt reply.

Unfortunately this new CLOVERX64.efi got worse than previous release version of 5131.

It got red screen panic immediately on booting and the first line of error codes changed from previous 0x000000000000000D to 0x000000000000000E besides its file size was bigger than previous version (1.5 MB vs. 1.3 MB).

1.5 vs 1.3 is normal because gcc makes more optimisation than clang.

But this crash may be related to the compiler bug.

Looking forward to your new CLOVERX64.efi as soon as possible to test and fix my booting problem.

Take please the version for test, try to enter "Option" and give me the debug.log.

It should ended with messages

test 1

test 2

and so on. I wish to know when it crashes.

It seems going further before crashed with red screen panic.

Not sure whether it related to this new version or addition of DataHubDxe.efi & EmuVariableUefi.efi or not.

My current boot file and config.plist as well as debug log are attached:

Log 1: Successful booting to desktop of Big Sur without problem.

Log 2: Crashed immediately when "O" was entered.

P.S.

I need go to hospital for medical service of out-patients from 8 am to 4 pm today.

Will waiting for your solution and re-testing then.
