Try using the correct slots for dual channel. At projectosx you said you have blue and white slots, place the modules in the same colour slots, be it white or blue (slots 1-3 are preferred).

 

Your wake issue is very common with Clover UEFI and it wasn't solved yet. There's a huge thread @projectosx about it.

Yes, dude. I placed them all into the white slots now. The sleep failure shows below.

Your problem is well known

0:100  0:000  Starting rEFIt rev 1902 on American Megatrends EFI

If you started with CloverEFI (legacy boot as well as Chameleon) you will have good working sleep/wake. Did you try?

It is not depending on your DSDT or your memory detection. It is a problem of AMI UEFI.

Hello slice,

 

some thoughts about nvram:

 

I 'm using an uefi mainboard (MSI Z77A-G45) but I have some issues with the UEFI booting, so I boot the system with CloverEFI so far. If I understand correctly, in UEFI boot the system can directly read from and write to the native nvram from UEFI bios.

 

In CloverEFI the nvram is emulated and saved with some scripts in a file on shutdown, which is read on the next boot by clover and injected to the OS. This is done because the normal legacy bios doesn't have native nvram. Is it correct so far? 

 

Is it possible to use the native uefi nvram while booting CloverEFI?

I would like to install Clover manually as described in the documentation (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282787-clover-v2-instructions/?do=findComment&comment=1852922).

 

However, I couldn't find the required files - the download on sourceforge only contains a .pkg file.

- A more up-to-date wiki is here (just spreading the word)

 

- You may extract the files from the pkg using Pacifist.

It is a real pain in the ass to unpack these files on any linux OS.

 - First, you are going to need "xar" which is not available on ubuntu 12.04 and debian squeezy/wheezy anymore.

 - Second, when unpacking the .pkg using 'xar -x -f Clover.pkg', it creates a bunch of folders which only contain the files "Bom", "PackageInfo" and "Payload"

 - these files need to be extracted once again.

 

It would be really good if there was a simple .zip archive available. Also, if there was an installation script using /bin/sh and normal POSIX-tools it would be much easier to install it from linux. The current .pkg installation script is completely locked to OS X.

 

After extracting BiosBoot.pkg/Payload I got the following files:

./EFIROOTDIR
./EFIROOTDIR/EFI
./EFIROOTDIR/EFI/CLOVER
./EFIROOTDIR/EFI/CLOVER/doc
./EFIROOTDIR/EFI/CLOVER/doc/Installation.txt
./usr/standalone
./usr/standalone/i386
./usr/standalone/i386/x64
./usr/standalone/i386/x64/boot7
./usr/standalone/i386/x64/boot6
./usr/standalone/i386/boot1h
./usr/standalone/i386/boot1h2
./usr/standalone/i386/ia32
./usr/standalone/i386/ia32/boot3
./usr/standalone/i386/boot0ss
./usr/standalone/i386/Installation.txt
./usr/standalone/i386/Description.txt
./usr/standalone/i386/boot1f32alt
./usr/standalone/i386/boot1f32
./usr/standalone/i386/boot0af
./usr/standalone/i386/boot0md

however, all the other files which usually are placed inside of /EFI/ are missing. Where can I find these? (Again, a simple .zip would make everything much easier.)

It is correct.

It seems to be possible to get access to native nvram while booting by CloverEFI. Just some programming effort required. And it is not one-line change.

You may download BootableISO that contains all you need.

This is just what I was looking for. Thanks!

 

I would like to start Clover (mbr-version) from grub2. I got the EFI&BOOT folders, boot0af, boot1f32alt and boot on a FAT32 usb stick. Partition is being marked as active.

Chainloading 'boot' doesn't work, it gives me a 'invalid signature' error. When chainloading or boot0af or boot1f32alt I just get a blinking prompt. (seems to be stuck, nothing happens for >30 seconds).

Multibotting chameleons 'boot' works without any problems, however clover's boot doesn't seem to contain valid multiboot headers so I can't multiboot it. Another good reason to get this working is that it enables users to boot clover with any syslinux derivate (for example pxelinux) using the mboot.c32 module and any other bootloaders implementing multiboot.

You can find infos about multiboot here http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/multiboot/multiboot.html

As chameleon already has it implemented, you can probably copy most of it, the relevant files probably are multiboot.h, mboot.h and mboot.c.

 

Would be great if you could implement this, or is there another way to chainload/multiload clover? Thanks!

I am having an issue with Haswell and Mavericks.

 

I prefer Clover EFI because I can use my bluetooth keyboard in the EFI setup screen (what is the proper name of EFI BIOS?).

 

However, Mavericks and Mountain Lion cannot boot with Clover. It will just show a black screen as soon as it is done finishing with loading the kernel cache. This does not happen in Chameleon, but it is the only solution to this issue.

 

My specs are in my sig.

I have also written boot1h to the partition bootsectors of my os x partition and tried to chainload the PBR using `chainloader +1`. This also only generates a blinking prompt.

Did you take into account that boot1h from Chameleon can load only 440kb while Clover is 483kb?

This is why Clover repo contains own versions of boot* files.

Yes, I used boot1h from Clover r1902. Any ideas why chainloading the pbr doesn't work? Also, did you think about making stage 2 multiboot compatible?

 

Edit: Not sure how much you know about grub. The 'chainloader +1' command I mentioned before does load the first sector of the partition. See http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#chainloader

 

Edit2: Did further testing. Chainloading boot1f32alt does work, chainloading boot1h doesn't work though... (Yes, it is on a HFS partition) My Mac OS X partition is a logical one, but that shouldn't matter since the root device is already selected when stage 1 is executed, right? Any ideas?

 Automatic detection of native nvram would be a really nice feature. I hope this idea lands somehow in your list :-)

I know nothing about grub but I know all about sequence MBR boot sector -> PBR boot sector -> boot file in the partition.

chainloading boot1h must work same way as boot1w32. There are same technologies just different FS drivers.

I don't know what is mean "multiboot compatible". It seems to be grub specific and has no relation to boot1h.

Hi,

Chainloading boot1f32alt does work, boot1h doesn't. Any ideas on that? Maybe you can install a simple ubuntu or other linux distro which uses grub in a VM and test this?

 

I don't know what is mean "multiboot compatible". It seems to be grub specific and has no relation to boot1h.

You can find information about the multiboot specification (including sample code) here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiboot_Specification - http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/multiboot/multiboot.html

As it is already implemented in chameleon it shouldn't be too hard to port it to clover I think.

But sorry, documentation is very large. What should I read about the problem?

Clover uses the same boot0, boot1h, boot as Chameleon. If it is implemented in Chameleon why not in Clover?

The real difference is in boot1h 

Chameleon's

kBoot2Sectors		EQU		(448 * 1024 - 512) / kSectorBytes	; max size of 'boot' file in sectors

For Clover I change 448 -> 472

Is it multiboot violation?

I encountered an issue that I cannot save my config.plist after upgrading to later clover build. How many times I saved my config file and restart, the config file doesn't change. I tried install on an USB using my backup but seems clover load the default config file somewhere else. Anyone encounter same issue?

The place for config.plist was changed in new revisions.

Now the path is /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist or may be OEM folder

/EFI/CLOVER/OEM/xxx/config.plist or

/EFI/CLOVER/OEM/xxx/UEFI/config.plist

I replaced 3 config.plist from backup as listed but no change. Every time I start up, options remain the same before I replace. However, when I check the 3 files, they were the version from my backup.
