[UPDATE - I have solved this issue - keep reading if you want the solution because you have the same issue]
Hey everyone
I was hoping to get a little help on this. I know the cause - one of my drives in my RAID is causing Clover to not be happy at 'scanning entries' (it freezes). I don't know why. I'm sure if I formatted and started over in Clover it would work (I read a previous users similar issue and he discovered one of his drives wasn't behaving and it fixed on a reformat, read here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304501-clover-hangs-at-scanning-entries-software-raid/) but I have 11TB of RED footage on it that I don't have a place to put right now so that's not an option.
If I unplug the suspect drive, even on its own, scanning entries no longer hangs and I can boot up Yosemite fine. I'm on an X79-UP4 with a 3930K and El Capitan does not work with USB so I'm sticking with Yosemite for now until someone can come up with a way to get the new Apple USB drivers to play nice with my hardware (I've already spent 2 days on this so I gave up).
My chameleon bootloader works great, except for a couple of things:
I want to switch to Clover because of the benefits - iMessage etc
AND mainly because I cannot get the new Magic Trackpad 2 to work beyond being a mouse. I have the OSXWIFI PCI wifi/bluetooth board and handoff and phone calls and all of that work perfectly, just not the trackpad (multitouch etc). It gives an error on pairing in the Trackpad system pref pane. I thought Clover might help with that too.
Anyway. Enough backstory.
My solution was to use 'custom entries' as it was suggested on another board as a single suggestion when a RAID set was crashing the scan. Something to do with the RAID not being seen yet by clover, and the suggestion was 'use custom entries'.
I cannot find a simple guide for doing so. Most people are just trying to do a cosmetic thing of hiding certain drives and partitions or renaming things to look pretty.
What I want to do is turn OFF scanning entries (so it can't find my RAID) but manually add an entry for my boot SSD 'Macintosh HD'.
I have done what I think is right, by adding a custom entry in config.plist via Clover Configurator.
It ends up creating this, after finding the Volume UUID for the Volume in Terminal using this command:
diskutil info /dev/disk0s2 | grep UUID
But nothing shows at the boot screen. Clover version is the latest one from Unibeast, to make the USB stick, which was copied to my EFI partition on my Chameleon install - which actually worked great. Just this scanning entries issue. If I'm going to switch to Clover permanently I need access to my RAID.
Any ideas?
THANK YOU
