Unfortuantely I'm facing another issue right now. 

I'm trying to install a Catalina 10.15.7 supplemental patch with Clover v5131 (commit sha in log name), but I can't see the Installer entry, therefore I can't boot from it. It isn't there even with "Show hidden entries".

Same with Clover v5130

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

It's okay with Clover v5128 (can't test v5129 because I can't find the .efi):

attaching debug logs. 

I saw another person with this issue, he was right:

https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/issues/380

 

EDIT: also saw that a lot of Clover release zips are just gone from the Release page

@MifJpn yes indeed, from USB installer it's working. Thanks for investigating.

But I'm trying to install OTA with Software Update (as normally should be installed) like I did every time.

On Big Sur, I did not have such problems with OTA, but I decided to downgrade to Cata (mostly because of the memory leak bugs on Big Sur). An OTA update appeared, and I thought okay, go ahead and install it. But after restart I was presented with the same version, the update isn't installed (of course because the entry isn't there). I just don't want to create a whole Installer USB because of a small update.

 

Anyways @Jief_Machak, @Slice I did found something about it:

This commit 333b6ce1ca2c02300e93a151e4be513af7414d06 (Hide dead installer prebooter.)

 

After that commit (6bc80b8486563fa3cd76adff4e0209d20aa4c195 - update list in xcode project) it isn't working

The commit before (3142593e38f50af12f7a3ff399dd8b0d64893b2d - update model data) is working

 

I won't update now, let me know if you have some .efi to test with

Could you try to replace "ApfsDriverLoader.efi" by this one, for example ?apfs-v11.1.efi

[kushwavez]

Replaced, but same unfortunately. 

Attaching new debug.log if needed

I saw this in the log maybe that is the Installer? It is considered as dead

edit: but also see installer dmg boot file not found so maybe that doesn't matter

preboot_v5131.log

Edited March 26, 2021 by kushwavez

[kushwavez]

in preboot_v5128.log I see in the log

0:782  0:000      Loader entry created for 'PciRoot(0x0)\Pci(0x1C,0x4)\Pci(0x0,0x0)\NVMe(0x1,55-7E-62-44-68-B7-26-00)\HD(2,GPT,E2A442FB-9313-4522-AD87-63BD30A5D527,0x64028,0x1D0BB7D8)\VenMedia(BE74FCF7-0B7C-49F3-9147-01F4042E6842,C7EF85D336AFBE4F8D97EC42075B2261)\7ADD3B9E-901D-440E-A91A-E3BCB619F3E4\com.apple.installer\boot.efi'
0:782  0:000  - [07]: 'macOS SSD - adatok'

I think that is the Installer.

I don't see such lines in the latest log

hmmm the log in the latest release says "Dead installer entry found (installer dmg boot file not found: ....\BaseSystem.dmg"), so I thought that doesn't matter. But I think that should be the installer after all.

 

BaseSystem.dmg is there (and the boot.efi is also inside Boot Files dir)

It seems all known bugs resolved.

Sorry for my useless commits.

[Jief_Machak]

@kushwavez Yes, this is the problem. Old version doesn't check if the installer preboot is "dead" or not. Obviously, Imade a bug when I tried to detect if the dmg file exists or not, or Clover can't read the volume (that's why I proposed a recent apfs.efi).

I'm interested to debug that but that means to keep your hard drive like it is now. In a few hours, I can send you a Clover efi with very details log about this dmg detection and try to find what's going on.

Let me know if you can stay with this HDD in this half installed state.

[kushwavez]

@Jief_Machak That's okay, not in a hurry and the OS still can boot because the 2nd stage of the installer didn't start yet. So I'm ready. 

[eng_redaesm]

i still can't boot even after last commit 

 

preboot.log

[kushwavez]

@eng_redaesm last time when I had this freeze it caused by bad Quirks settings. If I remember correctly it was "DisableLinkeditJettison". That needed to be True. 

I'm now using the Quirks from the config-sample.plist from the release.zip by the way, that's okay (only enabled XhciPortLimit and disabled DisableIoMapper)

@kushwavez. it was working  and i already have Xhciportlimit enabled and disanlroMapper disabled  and i make DisableLinkeditJettison true 

but still freezing

@eng_redaesm if you has previous Clover configuration that worked, could you follow this : https://jief-machak.gitbook.io/cloverhelp/

[Jief_Machak]

@kushwavez try this efi : CloverX64-2021-03-27-07-01-35-4a3bc61-dirty-jief.zipand send me the log.

[Jief_Machak]

@eng_redaesm Other option : find yourself the commit that broke. All the compiled commits are here : https://github.com/jief666/CloverCommits

Check first the commit corresponding to a release number. Is it working with 5131 ? 5130 ? 5129 ?

Then try commits in between...

Same with Clover v5130

 

 

 

It's okay with Clover v5128 (can't test v5129 because I can't find the .efi):

 

I was updating Mojave with 5131. Click on Update and see what is happen without touching mouse or keyboard.

First reboot: I see an Installer in the Clover menu. It started.

Second reboot: no the Installer. Clover started from regular OS preboot.

Some more reboots, don't know exactly how many.

Voila, I see new system not touching mouse or keyboard during the whole update process.

Ok I'll have a look in few minutes.

@eng_redaesm Just to be sure. 4b0ddf4deed019913c1989e192113148139c320a works, 65f8cc122d6cd5db4007218b66b72532382cc28c doesn't. Am I correct ?

Could you send me both the debug.log from these 2 commits.

alright, here you are. 

 

And I think I know what is the problem (correct me if my hypothesis is wrong).

In the log I see this: 

Volume= Preboot
Open "" = Success
Open "\" = Success
Open "\macOS Install Data" = Not Found
Open "\macOS Install Data\Locked Files" = Not Found
Open "\macOS Install Data\Locked Files\BaseSystem.dmg" = Not Found

So that location is wrong for Catalina. On Cata, the Installer is located in /System/Volumes/Data/macOS\ Install\ Data/Locked\ Files/BaseSystem.dmg

 

It is working for you @Slice because on Mojave, there is no separate Container for System and Data, but there is on Cata, so for you the Installer is located in the "right" place (I suppose) (/macOS\ Install\ Data/) and Clover detects it.

 

EDIT: nvm, I was wrong about that

Edited March 27, 2021 by kushwavez

[Jief_Machak]

@kushwavez : the path is correct. /System/Volumes/Data is added by macos. It's the mount point. There is no mount point under Clover.

From this : 

- [07]: 'macOS SSD - adatok'
    ApfsContainerUUID=5EF86F43-A55C-4384-B7DF-E35BB7E5CD9F
    ApfsFileSystemUUID=7ADD3B9E-901D-440E-A91A-E3BCB619F3E4
Volume= macOS SSD - adatok
Open "" = Not Found
Open "\" = Not Found

It seems clear that Clover can't read at all your data partition. I'm installing Catalina and will check if it's a normal behaviour.

I'll let you know if I need a test.

Should be done by today.

[kushwavez]

Oh okay then. 

 

Let me know if you want any new informations

[Jief_Machak]

Anyway, I'll probably implement something like : if the root of the APFS target can't be opened at all, let's cancel the "dead installer" check...
