Hi guys, i found two things on GUI with I believe it isnt a normal behavior:

 

1) on Clover GUI -> Options -> CPU enable C6 is checked, but I didnt check this parameter on config.plist, in fact I use piker ssdtgen so I didnt check any CPU parameters on clover besides dropSSDT  and only enableC6 is checked on that panel. i dont know from where this value is read but it is not from config.plist neither nvram (list using nvram -p)

 

2) when I boot from pendrive (UEFI) I can see Clover options on GUI with I can add Clover entry to BIOS BOOT, but when i boot from disk (also UEFI), this option is not available. I didnt find any option on config.plist with allow enable Clover Options from disk, and i use the same config.plist from pendrive.

 

I hope it helps the development of clover.

You turned off the scan for entries to boot

	<key>GUI</key>
	<dict>
		<key>Scan</key>
		<dict>
			<key>Entries</key>
			<false/>
			<key>Legacy</key>
			<false/>
			<key>Tool</key>
			<true/>
		</dict>

Set GUI/Scan/Entries=true.

I would like to enter a discussion on this community's use of Clover boot loader. What have you all found out about loading and using Clover? Have you all used fdisk440 to help build your bootable USB? Did you all find the Installation.txt file in Clover?

 

What has everyone done to get Clover to load MacOS X (be it Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks.)

Hey all!

 

So I've been running Mac OS X Mavericks and Windows 8.1 together for a while now using Clover.

However through no fault other than my own I messed up my EFI during an upgrade/repair of Windows.

I mananged to get Clover up and running for booting Windows in UEFI again by copying the approriate /EFI/Microsoft/Boot files.

However Mac OS X just goes to a blank screen. Running it with -x -v gives:

 

Error allocationg 0x28 pages at [some hex at ff1000] alloc type 2

Could not locate driver module memoryBoot failed, sleeping for 10 seconds before exiting.

 

I can boot into the Mac OS X partition with a boot USB (again using -x, since the audio driver is in shambles), tried reinstalling Clover; but alas, no avail. 

The annoying bit is that I can't manually inspect the EFI partition in safe mode, since the Fat32 driver doesn't get loaded.

 

Any thoughts?

 

PS: For what it's worth: it's a Asus P8Z77-M Pro motherboard with a Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2 and 32GB RAM

Okay, I feel moderately ashamed for admitting this but what happened is the following:

I messed up my EFI partition (ESP) somehow; I got Windows 8.1 to boot but not OS X Mavericks.

 

Using a USB Boot stick I tried reinstalling and messing with the various Clover options. Unfortunately I had to do so in safe mode, due to other reasons.

Save mode does, however, not allow access to Fat32 or NTFS. So when reinstalling and/or trying different drivers I did so in the designated /EFI/ Folder of the boot drive (instead of the partition).

Now the shameful element is: I kept booting from the broken EFI partition (which I was unable to access) being equivalent to questions like "are you sure you're editing the right file?" … which after an extended period of frustration always has to be answered with "ah no, you see ...".

 

Booting from the correct EFI configuration (which worked perfectly for OS X) allowed me to fix the partition (yay read/write support for Fat32) throw out all the other stuff and now everything works fine again. Lesson learned. Thanks everyone! :rolleyes:

Hi, I have two small problems with my set-up AsRock X79 Professional with E5-1620 v2; 
 
-Speedstep problem; with ssdtPRGen I rarely have x12, x37 always (standard clock) and occasionally turbo x38 (but the processor has turbo x39). 
With Clover (GenStates + DropOEM) I often have x12 and normally x37, never turbo. I also have an error: "Failed C-state...". (Attached Image)
 
-USB problem, I know Mac OS don't like my TI USB3 chipset, I'm using GenericUSB kext or clover patch (for 10.9.3 doesn't work well), but I have problem with USB 2, bluetooth mouse not received well, it's slow, same thing for the keyboard.
Never had any problems with Gigabyte and Fresco chipset. Has anyone ever had similar problems? (Not only with bluetooth, also with device)

Thanks.
Simone

Hi !

 

I have successfully installed Mavericks with Clover on a Dell Inspiron 1720, after trying without success with Chameleon. (At first I had freezing problems with Clover that were related to a faulty HDD)

 

My WiFi card is never recognised although it works natively with Leopard.

 

The WiFi card is an Atheros branded Gigabyte GN-WI01GT (Ven_168C Dev_001C) existing in the Info.plist of the Atheros plugin.

 

Apprently the card is seen in the profiler but I read it in reverse. (maybe I'm missing something)

    | |   |         "acpi-wake-type" = 0x2
    | |   |       }

Device is PXS2 but there is "device-id" = <1c000000> and "vendor-id" = <8c160000>.

 

The WiFi  LED is on and it works under Windows, but in System Profiler it doesn't appear in WiFi.

 

Anyway, does the Chameleon argument "Max_valid_dma_addr=1024" exists in Clover ?

Device is PXS2 but there is "device-id" = and "vendor-id" = .

Anyway, does the Chameleon argument "Max_valid_dma_addr=1024" exists in Clover ?

I think it is kernel flag and doesn't depend on bootloader.

Anybody familiar with this problem? I tried several things, tried common solutions but nothing works. BIOS settings are correct.

It's a Z77X-UD5H board. Windows can be booted through Clover.

what drivers u install ?

u need aptiofix!

I write something about this board if u wanna read..

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288829-guide-gigabyte-z77x-ud5h-clover-uefi-installtweak-guide/

? ...you joke ?

No joke.

Make a report with DarwinDumper for better see your problem.

- With Clover Gen. States http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/38557643/file.html

- With SSDT by Pike http://www57.zippyshare.com/v/65410067/file.html

- My CPU E5-1620v2 (same as MacPro 2013) is Ivy Bridge-EP LGA2011

 

Thank you Slice & Clover Staff!

This line

0:313  0:000  Turbo: 37/37/37/39

Means that if the CPU works with 4 cores then multiplier will be up to 37.

If one core (cpus=1) then the multipier can be up to 39.

I will search Intel documentation about this question.

The main problem is that Clover uses the wrong scope i.e. Scope (\_PR.CNNN) whereas ssdtPRGen.sh knows what scope to use i.e. Scope (\_SB.SCK0.CNNN) and that I tell you is a big problem if you are trying to get power management working. Next to this is Clover using old school power management whereas ssdtPRGen.sh generates data for new style, used by Apple, power management.
