quis Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I've manually patched the Info.plist and made everything work (had to use a rollback AppleHDA), but just for science's sake, I'll revert it and use DarwinDumper to see what's the problem. Post back later! EDIT: Well this is weird. Now it won't revert back to the non-accelerated state, even if I remove 0x94421002 from Info.plist and reboot without cache... Guess I'll have to wait until next time I reinstall it (GM's around the corner anyway ) EDIT2: And... After a few more reboots, it's suddenly broken again. I saw something like "Forced load /System/Library/Extensions/AMD4800Controller.kext/Content/Info.plist" at the start of Clover, and then the kext failed to load due to dependency IOGraphicsFamily not yet loaded. Is this a problem with the kext patching/injecting? (Like, when I tried to inject RealtekRTL81xx.kext, it failed also missing IONetworkingFamily. Only worked after I put it in S/L/E). Link to Darwin dump. Another thing that confuses me is that during my experiment, a few kexts remain broken even if I explicitly choose to boot without cache. But guess what? After I rebuild cache and boot "without cache" again, it works. Wha...? What's the policy regarding cache here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tluck Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 @antoniodapc not sure you can just patch the binary for cx20590 support. i posted an appleHDA.kext i created based on 10.8.4 for the Lenovo T420. it has 3 or 4 modified/custom files defining custom platform and layout etc. generally need to replace AppleHDA in /S/L/E. see posts #241 clover bundle + kexts used for Lenovo T420 or #216 for just the AppleHDA kext for 10.8.4 #161 from earlier in that thread - more detail writeup about the kext if interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eolins Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 How to install mavericks with clover? looks like apple separate the installESD and BaseSystem has the installation now. in dp4 there is a file in content/resourses/createinstallmedia but doesn't boot with clover. is there any way like mountain lion? The restore base system doesn't create a recovery hd so... i followed the instructions inside clover documents to installESD with clover. thanks!

Riley Freeman Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I'm trying to get Clover installed to a USB stick so I can try it out on my P9X79 Pro. First off, I can't install to a USB stick on my P9X79. Every time I get an install failed error. I have to build the stick on my P8Z68. It doesn't seem to be able to format/mount the EFI partition on the stick on my X79 setup. Even if I format it FAT32 first.

It doesn't work. The BIOS flashes up for a split second and then Chameleon loads. On the P8Z68 it loads the menu and I'm able to boot my 10.8 installation from it. I'm using this now to familiarise myself with Clover but I really want it on the X79. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Sorry for the stupid question: did you try to mount the volume? mkdir /Volumes/CLOVER mount /dev/disk1 -t hfs /dev/disk1 /Volumes/CLOVER As I see you have a problem that there are three volumes with the same name "EFI". How do you think is it clear for installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Freeman Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hi Slice. Thanks for getting back to me. The volume CLOVER is already mounted on the Desktop. That's why the "can't find volume" error makes no sense. I follow the exact same process on the Z68 system but it works on that.

Riley Freeman Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 maybe stupid idea but u can be 1000% sure if u unplug other disks and try ? There's only one internal disk in the X79 system. The one I want to boot with Clover. I've added the install log from the Z68 system to my previous post. I deleted the second, smaller EFI partition from the internal disk (I think this was left behind by Windows) but still no luck installing on the X79. In case anyone missed it, I'm running 10.6.8 on this X79 setup. Just in case that has some bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Freeman Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I've had some success. The reason the stick wouldn't boot was because the Secure Boot section under CSM was set to Windows UEFI (derp...). Once I spotted this I edited the config.plist in the root of the stick, copied over the DSDT and was able to boot from the stick fine. Now to find a way to enable logging.

Riley Freeman Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Now that I have the X79 booting from Clover I tried to install over it to see if the installation would now work.

I noticed the same. Usual config.plist doesn't load and some options from the GUI do not work. Ex. Dropping ACPI tables. Good thing I had a USB Clover booter.

Riley Freeman Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 After a botched attempt to boot r2061 on my X79 my ATM screen now shows "Unknown CPU" even when back on r1955.

"NoCaches" means you want to boot without kernelcache. It may be done by type "space" on OS icon. But what is the reason ALWAYS boot without kernelcache??? I think you want to boot WITH additional kexts located in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/... ? For this purpose you may use a key "InjectKexts=true" that works in SystemParameters.

Riley Freeman Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 ProcessorType is for pre-r2000, the other one for past that rev. Yeah I guess things move even faster in Clover land than I expected. Makes it a little rough for newcomers. Especially when the right answer is buried on a forum post somewhere. I would have stuck with 2061 if it had worked. Guess I'll give it another go today. I'd still love to get some feedback on the installation issue I'm having as it means I have to do all future updating on a different system and then manually overwrite files on the X79 setup.

TheEnthusiast Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'm not sure if I understand your situation enough to offer help, but what I can tell you, is that it is recommended that you use a test USB install of Clover to get everything working before installing to your hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Freeman Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 That's what I was doing initially. Still am, actually, as I'm having to redo my config.plist to match the newer format of r2061. Almost there though The issue is that the installer is unable to find or mount the EFI partition to install the Clover files. Regardless of whether the destination is the internal drive or an external USB. My Z68 system works fine however (specs are in my sig). I'm thinking it may be an issue with 10.6 but I don't know the inner workings of the installer script to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eps Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 "NoCaches" means you want to boot without kernelcache. It may be done by type "space" on OS icon. But what is the reason ALWAYS boot without kernelcache??? I think you want to boot WITH additional kexts located in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/... ? For this purpose you may use a key "InjectKexts=true" that works in SystemParameters. Because my netbook's GMA950 graphics is need to patch kext's binary contain to 27AE. And these original kexts existed in S/L/E conflict with kexts which in Clover. Kext patcher function in Clover was not work for a long time. Only NoCaches function made my patched kext in Clover loaded properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
