Try this build plz

BOOTX64.efi.zip

Or you are using legacy boot?

It did not work, still stuck. I use UEFI, it had never happened before. And the boot is installed on an SSD.

I've been trying to upgrade my current installation to 10.13. But an upgrade wouldn't work. The Install OSX entry wouldn't even show up in clover. But I can successfully install 10.13 on a separate partition (even APFS) from 10.12.

I am using Clover 4089 and here is my config .

Clover 4091, High Sierra ready, released at sf.net.

Nope the same issue persists.

Here is the code for turning HWP on for Clover. But it became ineffective when computer waked up from sleep. Is there a way we can manually call this method so that HWP remains effective after sleep?

General Question for Clover dev's.

I have a multiboot setup and now have MacOS 10.12.6 on one drive and 10.13 on another couple (when I figure out what combination I want I will update my sig).

My question is, does Clover use the same serial number and other id details in the Clover config.plist for any of the MacOS systems in the boot list options? Because this seems to be annoying iCloud security when I switch from one version of the OS to another, and it wants me to re-signin every time. I worked around this by installing Clover to each MacOS drive and putting a different config.plist with unique ID info for each. That works and apparently iCloud (security checking) is happy that I have 3 different machines registered, and it stops asking me to sign in every time I reboot now.

This is a little annoying since I have to stop the BIOS and switch boot drives to change to a different Clover install and get the right S/N etc. for each system. Would it be possible to have the config.plist associated with each of the boot drives - so, maybe in the custom configuration options we could specify which config.plist (by unique names?) we wanted each drive to use when it boots - or to restart Clover with the right config.plist - or however you could easily (hate that word) make it work?

Thanks

Frank

you can already specify alternate config.plist in clover gui manually. you would just have to have them in the same efi as the clover you are booting.

Well darn, do I feel dumb. So, I can have three different config.plist files (config_1012, config_1013, etc, etc) and pick which one is used based on which boot disk is picked on the boot screen. I am off to try it, thank you!

It must be a kext to work after wake up.

Can you confirm that the state of this MSR differs before and after sleep?

Yep. By using Pike's AppleIntelInfo.kext, pretty sure the status of this register changed after waking up. The frequency reported by Intel Power Gadgets could also prove hwp ineffective.

Show me the kext output before and after.

Strange.

Can you check registers 0x770 and 0x771 after sleep with this tool http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291833-anvmsr-v10-tool-and-driver-to-read-from-or-write-to-cpu-msr-registers/?

Here is the code for turning HWP on for Clover. But it became ineffective when computer waked up from sleep. Is there a way we can manually call this method so that HWP remains effective after sleep?

No need for that option at all...

For correct HWP implementation, use an SMBIOS that has HWP enabled or edit the plist in X86PlatformPlugin.kext/Resources appropriately.

HWP will be enabled on boot and on wake from sleep with correct SMBIOS/X86PlatformPlugin setup.

Strange.

Can you check registers 0x770 and 0x771 after sleep with this tool http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291833-anvmsr-v10-tool-and-driver-to-read-from-or-write-to-cpu-msr-registers/?

pHs-Mac:AnVMSR_10.6 and + ph$ ./anvmsr read 770
RDMSR 770 returns value 0x1
pHs-Mac:AnVMSR_10.6 and + ph$ ./anvmsr read 771
RDMSR 771 returns value 0x10a2424

After waking up, I am sure the value of 0X770 is 0. That's to say, hwp is turned off. And after reading the value of 771, system crashed...

Yeah. I am aware there are two implementation of HWP. But I have problems getting SMBIOS one working and this method has more requirements than the other for Pentiums.

I updated to the Clover r4091 and now I'm stuck here. Does anyone know how to solve it?

I saw this today when i tried setting <key>TextOnly</key><true/> in Clover's config.plist on a laptop which does not seem to support the text console after Clover's graphics are displayed. I had to make a separate boot option for Shell64U.efi which skips Clover so I could use the Shell. Anyway, Clover was still working, I just couldn't see the UI, so I was able to start an OS and set TextOnly back to false. You probably have a different problem though, since you probably wouldn't set TextOnly to true, and your PC probably supports TextOnly?

BTW, your screen shot shows a problem with the progress messages, where the ... on the left is not erased correctly between messages, so sometimes it shows 4 dots .... or overlapping dots. The fix is to change the code so that all progress messages are the same length with spaces like this:

// make sure these messages are all 30 (or 31 characters with an additional space to center odd number of characters)
"    Welcome to Clover %s    " 
"   ... testing hardware ...   "
"     ... user settings ...     "
"     ... scan entries ...     "
"                              "

Clover 4091, High Sierra ready, released at sf.net.

Nope the same issue persists.

Same here.

Shouldn't this version removed ASAP? r4094 works fine.

Was the AMD graphics wakeup issue fixed finally? Is it possible to switch primary bios display just before the amd driver will be loaded by using some kext or so? As I understand, the AMD card needs to be prevented to run the bios code? So what if a kext would "hard reset" the amd card while boot sequence, before the graphics driver is loaded?

Yes, but how?

Had to revert to 4077...

Any conclusion here? HWP is turned off definitely after sleep.

It seems PC UEFI/BIOS make CPU initialization not as we want for macOS drivers. New kext needed.

Yes, but how?

That might be ONE solution, but please consider also, that we don't get BlackScreen if none of the AMDRadeonX4xx0.kexts get loaded (yes, we have NO accelleration than, but we also have NO BlackScreen problem).

So maybe there is just the right patch needed as for Intel HD5x0/6x0 gfx as done with Lilu and IntelGraphicsFixup. But as long, as none of the main CLOVER coders (SLICE, SHERLOCK etc.) have one of these AMD cards on their own, and as long as those, who might have one of these cards, but not able to code - we may find never a solution.

And thats the reason, why i made the offer in this post here.

Good afternoon everyone! I'm not sure how graphics injection works, but since the Sierra I could no longer patch on the fly through Clover and when I put the framebuffer Baboon or Eulemur for my video card, which always worked previously, stays with screen Black (monitors turn off). I tried several things, but I did not want to have to modify the kext manually, so I did not have to do this at all update. Now I was thinking, if the bootloader is who tells the system what framebuffer to use, it will be that in the bootloader, the address of the framebuffer informed is outdated, thus causing a deviation of the AMD5000Controller.kext to a wrong address, making it impossible to be completed The patch?

I got it sorted out. Here the link where I show how:
