tluck Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 @SimonLL - get rid of npci boot args - your arg should be just slide=0 or -v slide=0 run sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions this will rebuild your caches run kextstat | grep HDA to see if HDA is loaded. i can only guess that those odd devices must have come from a previous preferences file audio midi tool may help. its ok to have these 2 devices HDEF (onboard-1) and HDAU (onboard-2 in the nvidia gfx0 branch) - my real mac has i7/HD Graphics/Nvidia and it has this tree grep Device SystemDSDT.dsl Device (PCI0) Device (MCHC) Device (P0P2) Device (GFX0) Device (HDAU) Device (IGPU) Device (DD01) Device (DD02) Device (DD03) Device (DD04) Device (DD05) Device (DD06) Device (DD07) Device (DD08) Device (SATA) Device (SBUS) Device (BUS0) Device (MKY0) Device (BUS1) Device (LPCB) Device (LNKA) Device (LNKB) Device (LNKC) Device (LNKD) Device (LNKE) Device (LNKF) Device (LNKG) Device (LNKH) Device (DMAC) Device (FWHD) Device (HPET) Device (IPIC) Device (MATH) Device (LDRC) Device (CDRC) Device (RTC) Device (TIMR) Device (SMC) Device (SMS0) Device (ALS0) Device (EC) Device (SMB0) Device (SBS0) Device (BAT0) Device (HDEF) Device (RP01) Device (GIGE) Device (RP02) Device (ARPT) Device (RP03) Device (FRWR) Device (RP04) Device (EXCD) Device (IO10) Device (IO1X) Device (IIO0) Device (IIOX) Device (ADP1) Device (LID0) Device (PWRB) Device (PNLF) Device (SLPB) Device (PDRC) Device (CPBG) Device (IMCH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLL Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Finally, I just have Clover boot with no Cache argument. I tried rebuilding the caches multiple times, even deleted the file and rebuilt it. Only booting with no caches lets audio work. Not a big problem as I'm on a SSD. It takes 2sec longer to boot. I've been busy installing Windows 7 on a second mSATA SSD. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to get Clover to boot it. Is there anything to do in the config.plist or the EFI partitions to make it work? I have 2 EFI partitions (one on each SSD). Clover is on the MacOS Drive. Not sure how to get this working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 @SimonLL - i and others have posted a few pages back how to dual boot windows with clover. its pretty easy IMO. i still don't understand why you cannot build caches to boot for audio - very w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep_Reaper Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 @simon Since you're using a separate disk for W7, you are better off reinstalling 7 and formatting its disk as mbr. Clover will see it just fine so long as clover is installed on OSX's disk and that disk is set to boot first. W7 gains no benefit to being installed on gpt nor booting in efi mode. (besides greater complexity[headache]) Please visit a few pages ago, where we discussed this in greater detail. EDIT: Ah, Tluck beat me to it. He's right that it is a simple process, however, since you do not have a specific need for w7 to boot in efi mode nor on a gpt formatted disk, then I believe it is indeed easier to proceed as mbr. (but only because it's on a separate disk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLL Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys! I guess I skipped through a couple of the 56 pages. I actually got to getting both OS in line and working each on their drive with each their EFI partition. (Microsoft's has NO NAME) So I'd rather not re-install Windows a 3rd time today (it was a long and hard fight, but I won in the end). I have only one little cosmetic headache left. For some reason, Clover gives me 3 entries: - OSX from MacOS drive - Microsoft Boot Menu to boot Win7 (it works ) - Boot Windows from EFI -------------------------------->Which I would LOVE to find a way to erase, but it doesn't give me any details when I hit spacebar on that one. No UUID, just the options Boot Windows and Return. When I select that entry, the system goes to black screen and freezes, I need to hard reboot. I've renamed the EFI folder on my Windows drive, the Microsoft Boot manager disappeared from clover, but not that weird Boot Windows entry. Any idea? I would just love to make it disappear.

wetzel Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 @SimonLL, Clover's detecting a windows EFI bootloader somewhere, double check your /efi. Did you end up converting the W7 to MBR or is it still GPT? It might have a hidden ESP. You might also want to think about capturing a wim file just in case you need to reinstall quickly :-) Thanks guys! I guess I skipped through a couple of the 56 pages.

SimonLL Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 My Windows disk is still GPT. I really don't want to go through reinstalling Windows. Could it be in the MSR partition? Windows did create a partition that I cannot access in Disk utility. If I want to tell Clover to hide the Microsoft reserved partition, how would I do that? I can't mount the partition in Disk Utility. Any other way to find it's UUID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetzel Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 It is not in the MSR, but you can remove the MSR safely. What does diskutil list show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wetzel Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Haha! Well, it's probably NTFS, but I am using OSXFuse, so it might be labeling mine "correctly" whereas the default Mac NTFS driver just calls it "Microsoft Basic Data" -__- Anyway, if you move the stuff that's in your EFI partition on the Windows HDD into the folder C:\EFI and either make sure that EFI partition is empty or just delete the partition, that should stop the double entries. This works because Clover has NTFS drivers, but you will need the EFI partition there in case you ever need to boot w/o Clover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wetzel Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 This is my directory structure, which boots Windows fine via UEFI. /Volumes/windoze 1/EFI would equate to C:\EFI It'd be /Volumes/NO\ NAME/EFI for you, but to change it while booted in mac you'll need OSXFuse. jak@deimos ~ % tree /Volumes/windoze\ 1/EFI /Volumes/windoze 1/EFI ├── Boot │ └── bootx64.efi └── Microsoft └── Boot ├── BCD ├── blahblahblah other files 27 directories, 61 files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLL Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Just to be sure: On my computer, the NO NAME partition is the EFI of the W7 drive. The C: would be the WINDOWS partition where windows is installed. So I should move Both Folders from the EFI (NO NAME) partition to the root of the Partition where Windows is installed (C:\ WINDOWS). I have Paragon NTFS, but I guess it doesn't work on the Terminal level... just GUI apps. Disk Utility is seeing NTFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetzel Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yes, sorry for the confusion, what I have as "windoze 1" would be your "Windows" volume.

wetzel Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Very strange. Clover installs it by default, but make sure that it has the NTFS-64.efi in /EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/ (on the Mac ssd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 i have a simple setup to EFI boot OSX or Win7 from same disk. MS Basic Data is NTFS. one can hide any entry by specifying the UUID of the disk to hide. use the command line clover-genconfig and look at GUI section for Legacy Hidden etc. e.g. i could hide the EFI folder but just don't. a 2 disk configuration will not be much different. $ diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *750.2 GB disk0 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS OSX+ 697.7 GB disk0s2 3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3 4: Microsoft Basic Data C 51.5 GB disk0s4 clover looks like this for me: 4 items - each one has a file like boot*.efi and clover lists them all on the GUI unless you choose to hide some. look in /Library/Logs/Clover/boot.log for "found ... 1:485 0:079 found PciRoot(0x0)\Pci(0x1F,0x2)\Sata(0x0,0x0,0x0)\HD(1,GPT,508E7C04-3837-4962-BF09-C18685712C8E,0x28,0x64000)\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi 1:532 0:046 found PciRoot(0x0)\Pci(0x1F,0x2)\Sata(0x0,0x0,0x0)\HD(1,GPT,508E7C04-3837-4962-BF09-C18685712C8E,0x28,0x64000)\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi 1:569 0:002 found PciRoot(0x0)\Pci(0x1F,0x2)\Sata(0x0,0x0,0x0)\HD(2,GPT,C8207D8A-456D-4A9C-901C-80D386164B9B,0x64028,0x513A78B0)\System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi 1:616 0:015 found PciRoot(0x0)\Pci(0x1F,0x2)\Sata(0x0,0x0,0x0)\HD(3,GPT,ED6F0FD8-0D05-4638-8975-5174B59E067C,0x5140B8D8,0x135F28)\com.apple.recovery.boot\boot.efi MS boot menu - but my bcd has it boot straight to the C drive.

SimonLL Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 It's there. After I installed Windows, I copied my CLOVER and BOOT folder from last night's backup in to my Mac EFI partition to be sure W7 didn't mess with my working OSX. So there is no chance that there would be a Windows efi file left in there. I really can't find where that Boot Windows from EFI thing comes from. Also, diskutil will not give me a UUID for the MSR partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wetzel Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Don't worry about the MSR, it's just {censored} space. Okay, just tested, and for me; C:\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi is the "internal EFI" listing, the second one, that doesn't work for you. C:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi is the "Windows boot menu from EFI" You should only need one, since Clover is handling the EFI itself. I would move your EFI\Microsoft\Boot folder back onto your ESP, since that is where it was installed and you know it works there, but don't move the EFI\Boot, just delete it. They both work for me, so I went ahead and tarballed my /Volumes/windoze/EFI/Boot folder and then deleted it, and I am left with just one working Windows entry (Windows Boot Menu from EFI). My guess as to why your C:\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi is not working is that it was created expecting to be on a different partition than it currently resides on. You can fix that by using bcdboot to recreate it, but if bootmgfw.efi is working fine with Clover, just get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLL Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 So I looked at the log, and it looks like Clover is adding 2 Legacy boot options from the Windows Drive. One from partition #4 (Boot Windows from EFI) and one from Partition #6 (Boot Windows from WINDOWS). Any Idea how to hide these options? Is there a way to tell Clover not to display Legacy options? I'm not sure I can hide them by GUID, because the #4 has the Windows Boot Manager. 0.

Hipopalamus Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Its has been a while now that I have successfully, converted my t420s to a hackintosh thanks to this thread. However, there is one slight problem and that is that under load, the idle temp of the cpu which hovers around 50 degrees goes to 90 (ie. youtube 1080p/ 4k full screen, or other cpu intensive task). Normally, in windows this would be accommodated with a rapid rise in fan speed or I could enable turbo boost, and everything would run cool and fast. Is there a way of enabling turbo boost or increasing the fan rpm in this set up. Any help is appreciated, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 @Hipopalamus good to hear things worked out for you. well the ThinkVantage (Blue) button is mapped in the DSDT to a function/run the fan at full speed 4500 rpm rather than variable speed. i often push the button when i am transcoding or encoding video for example as it does get a bit hot. what SSDT are you using? the script in the zip bundle does a better job of creating full range of P-states IMO i.e. create custom SSDT to match your CPU. my system runs around 40C idle - fans are at +/- 1950rpm. when i run it with my external monitor it goes up 2-3 degrees and fans run faster. so 50 degrees idle does seems a bit high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
