CLOVER INSTALLER SETTINGS BOOTLOADER HOW TO

I am confident that I am the problem, but I feel that I have tried everything and have spent a TON of time without making much progress.

CLOVER INSTALLER SETTINGS BOOTLOADER HOW TO

I know I don't understand Clover, despite reading everything I can find for how to install it for systems similar to mine. The resulting drive is not recognized during boot.

With this new drive, that process does not work. In the past (with USB 1 & 2) I have been able to drag content to recycle bin and replace with a backup of boot file and EFI folder, and this works. Add DSDT file (I read this is needed for Legacy)?Ĭurrently, when installing in ESP I can start to boot my Catalina and even with -v, it eventually almost boots, goes to a black screen, and seems to just pause/stop, without any messages on the screen. With only the UEFI folder I only see one (and not the one I want to boot). Generally, I need the BIOS folder in order to see all of my HDDs. I have added HFSplus, added SMBIOS to my config. This generally boots clover, but I am not able to boot the OS. Install clover in ESP (with boot0af, or without). This puts folders in the root, but the drive is not recognized as Clover by BIOS and it stops at 'Loading Operating System.' Is it possible this particular USB drive is simply incompatible? I feel like I have tried everything - without success. I have been trying to recreate a fresh Clover USB on a new drive I purchased so I can keep things cleaner. I am not sure how I formatted it prior to doing that, as I was doing a lot of trial-and-error/erasing/etc. I believe I created USB 2 by copying these root/EFI/ and boot files from USB 1. They both have empty EFI partitions, and have an EFI folder within the root with clover file tree. They show all of my HDDs, and they boot them all (even though the SSD reboots).

Clover USB 1 & 2 have the terribly sloppy configuration described in that thread (AFPS in drivers folders, BIOS and UEFI folders, tons of junk in config file, and unknown DSDT file) - but they mostly work.

I am working on cleaning up what apparently is a terrible/sloppy configuration per this thread ( ). I can boot a SSD version that runs great, but reboots about 30 mins in (typically). I can boot a non-SSD version that runs ok, but poor performance (beachballs, hangs). I have two versions of a USB Clover v5127 (Call them USB 1 & 2) that successfully boot my Catalina system. I have a long history of problems that I am trying to work through - but I will try to spare the unnecessary details here. I think this is 'basic' stuff, but for some reason(s) I am not able to successfully install a working Clover to a USB drive. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
