MacKonsti Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) @Jief_Machak thanks for looking into the issue. Few pages back it was reported that the PluginType parameter was no longer working and that it was advised by many to totally remove it from Clover config.plist and/or use/combine instead SSDT-PLUG.aml (obviously compatible with the CPU name on each hackintosh). Please see @tonyx86 last post on this and his testing: So since we are no coders and cannot understand the great work you all developers do, we rely totally on your feedback and information, especially when a release is made and reading the Release Notes (on GitHub). Was this an issue confirmed and/or resolved, therefore? What is the correct, working parameter in config.plist in latest Clover releases, please, regarding PluginType? TRUE or a number "1"? Were we mislead and confused some days ago about this "apparent" bug? I ask because a few started advising to use SSDT-PLUG.aml from Dortania... Hence my insisting questions to you and Slice, mate.... I won't flood the thread anymore on this, I promise. Just wanted to know what we were talking about few pages back Kindly check @iCanaro's post here and the subsequent posts: Thanks again, have a good weekend everyone.

iCanaro Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 the advice to use SSDT for power management, is due to the fact that if you use OC and Clover in the same EFI, as I do in 4 hacks, in my opinion it makes the system more homogeneous regardless of which boot loader you use. Having arranged plugin types is vital for the majority of users who use Clover without ssdt x PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just have to do it once. And at that time, the package installer refused to install on the volume I wanted. So I had to it by hand. I also had to modify the first stage boot sector (the 512 bytes piece of code that loads boot6). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that currently the first stage boot sector boot 6 and boot 7 is working perfectly on any macOS.

Chris1111 a question for you who also use GT 210, with the new FULL Clover r5129 using the pkg config.plist you have no problems using the Nvidia inject? here I can't do it again .. it is always playing with me with each new version (maybe because it is a 1gen laptop with GT 320M) but it is complicated and I had to abandon PStates and CStates to eliminate the kernel panic cpupm I kidnapped @Slice and @Jief_Machak so they can analyze it, but I'm also open to other solutions! in relation to processor management I am really satisfied with it remember is an i5-M430 look at the print!

kushwavez Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 @Jief_Machak a question. We did talk about FileVault drivers a while ago, and after debugging and your recommendation it seems we need AppleKeyFeeder.efi and AppleUiSupport.efi to get FileVault working properly. Clover's included drivers are bugged and take a lot of time to load (see here: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=2745305) Now AppleUiSupport.efi is not included in Clover releases, I need to download and add it manually. Can you include AppleUiSupport.efi in further releases (and if not needed, exclude other outdated FV efis. I need only AppleKeyFeeder and AppleUiSupport)? The source of AppleUiSupport.efi: https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleSupportPkg/releases/tag/2.0.9 Thanks in advance. Clover is getting better and better.

deeveedee Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) @PG7 If you're feeling adventurous with your Arrandale laptop, try patching your DSDT so that your LPCB.IOName is "3b09." "3b09" is the IOName of LPCB in a real MacBookPro6,2 (Arrandale) and I find that even up through Catalina, macOS provides native power management with no CLOVER CPU/LPC patches. Your current LPCB.IOName match is "3a18" which I think is the same as CLOVER's FakeLPC. Edited January 31, 2021 by tonyx86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockDown Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Hi I remember clover version 5115 used to auto detect model identifier even if i dont put smbios in config.plist. But later versions now defaults to MacPro3,1. Is this also happening to any users or its just me? Edited January 31, 2021 by ellaosx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
