I'm posting this in case this is a real OC 0.9.7 issue, but I have more testing to do, so there is still the possibility that this is because of my mistake and not an OC 0.9.7 problem.

 

I tried to upgrade my Dell Latitude E6410 to OC 0.9.7 (requires LegacyBoot), but it appears that there may be problems with the new LegacyBoot and HfsPlusLegacy.efi.  I remember problems with HfsPlusLegacy.efi the last time LegacyBoot changes were made to "Fix W^X for firmware drivers for ExFat and HFS+"

 

My attempt to upgrade to OC 0.9.7 was brief (I updated OC binaries, applied new LegacyBoot and applied new LogoutHook) and I didn't spend much time researching.  I did look for a new HfsPlusLegacy.efi here and don't see one.

Sorry to read. I don't use legacy boot so I can't say anything yo you. Maybe to post an issue in the bug tracker?

I can confirm the same issue.  OC 0.9.7 boot log shows:
 

00:331 00:331 OC: Driver HfsPlusLegacy.efi at 0 cannot be loaded - Not started!

 

and won't proceed to picker.
