FALLOFMAN Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I installed Sierra using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] ( I know, nobody likes it) and I tried everything AND I MEAN EVERYTHING from trying out kexts to settings in config.plist and NOTHING IS WORKING to get clover to show up during boot, but it doesnt, my pc just boots to windows (which I have on a seperate hd from sierra) the ONLY WAY I can get into sierra is with the usb stick. I decided to start fresh on a clean install and was recommended to install sierra and clover MANUALLY onto my usb stick through terminal, which I did, and followed the guides perfectly. I restarted, chose my usb stick, clover loaded, I chose "install sierra from usb" the apple logo and the loading bar appear, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS! I'm at my wits end ive tried everything and I don't know what to do. ANY HELP would be appreciated.

Si Vis Pacem Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Your clover config doesn't work. Usual culprit is Waiting for root device. At the clover menu go down to options and add -v to boot arguments. This will enable verbose boot and you should be able to see what's happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageAUS Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Post EFI folder excluding themes folder. Also make sure you have changed appropriate bios settings eg AHCI etc. Boot Verbose -v and take a picture when it stops or reboots and post it. If you can boot Sierra with usb then you have a clover install problem. Installed in legacy on uefi? Or vice versa. Wrong drivers? FakeSMC.kext?

joe75 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I would suggest looking into Ozmosis. Clover is horrible piece of software. Its a mess of patches on top of patches that has grown out of control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavageAUS Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Try the attached config also why do you have 3 ethernet kexts in your other and 10.12 folders? Remove them all until you know which one you need. Also update FakeSMC https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fakesmc-kozlek/downloads config.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirusX Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Why don't you post the information people asked for? "Boot Verbose -v and take a picture when it stops or reboots and post it." We can't guess where your computer is stuck. Is this your first OSX/macOS install on this machine or did you have a former version of OSX installed?

FALLOFMAN Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 So I tried to boot sierra with clover without the usb stick, there are 2 mac os options in bios ,I set them to boot priority but it skips right over them and boots windows. THE ONLY WAY to start sierra is with the usb stick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirusX Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 install clover again? How are we supposed to help if you don't provide any information except "it doesn't work". - What did you do when it stopped working? - Have you manually selected to boot from your mac install drive (usually F12 when booting) - does it work then? - etc. etc. What else have you tried to fix the problem? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is at dead end with Cover why he doesn't try another bootloader .. See ya sent from my iPhone 7 Plus np but Clover is great. Clover + DSDT + SSDT pike + fakesmc is a best solution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
