boot1: error on boot drive with Clover/El Capitan

Hi everyone,

I have had this issue for a while now and kind of just ignored it for the last couple of weeks. I installed El Capitan onto my existing Yosemite drive, and attempted to switch from Chameleon to Clover. For the most part, everything works when I boot from the install USB key (except for audio and several USB ports, but I haven't bothered tackling those issues yet). The biggest issue is that I cannot boot without using the USB key.

Right now, the only thing that I have that is preventing me from booting from my SSD is a boot1 error.
When I try to boot from this drive directly, my screen reads:

Boot0:GPT
Boot0:done
boot1: error

and hangs until I turn my computer off.

I've looked around and a lot of posts point me to the boot0 error guide here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/65706-boot0-error-official-guide.html

but that post specifically says DO NOT USE WITH CLOVER.


Additional things that I have noticed:

When I select my boot device after spamming F8, it shows 2 instances of my USB Key:

UFD 3.0 Silicon-Power16G (14920MB)
UEFI: UFD 3.0 Silicon-Power16G (14920MB)

clicking the UEFI options starts Clover while clicking the nonUEFI option produces the same boot1: error as above.

As for my El Capitan drive, it only shows one instance:

P2: Samsung SSD 840 PRO Series (122104MB)

Is there supposed to be a UEFI option for my SSD?

In terminal, "ls -l /" reveals no boot file. Also, /usr/standalone/i386/ does not have a boot1h file, only a boot.efi file.

Any help is appreciated!

Yes.

Please boot OS X from the USB and run "diskutil list" in Terminal and post the output.

Also, how did you install Clover to the SSD?

I installed it using this guide:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...-el-capitan-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html before MB8.0 was released. I installed all the necessary files to boot and get things running. I opted for a UEFI boot rather than Legacy since I'm using Z77. I installed the Clover_v2.3_r3270_UEFI.pkg and the other files to my boot drive (OS X). I also removed my Chameleon bootloader using the directions in the guide. I'm not sure if that was done 100% correctly.

Once MB8.0 was released, I tried installing everything using it, but nothing changed. It didn't install any of the drivers, but I'm guessing since I'm booting from USB and my MB install was done onto my boot drive that I was not able to see any changes?

Booting from USB is extremely smooth, aside from most of my USB ports on my motherboard not working and no audio devices being detected. I never had any kernel panics or anything from booting. I did get some warnings about my kexts not loading or something when I moved them around.

I posted my initial problem in this post: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...nt-boot-system-drive-read-smbios-setting.html 2 months ago, and nothing has changed since. It didn't occur to me to mention the boot1 error in that post (pretty rookie mistake). The bottom of the post also has my diskutil list output and my config.plist and EFI CLOVER folder.

I literally just got a warning pop up about one of my kexts:

"System extension cannot be used | The system extension “/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."

After I close the popup, another one pops up with a different kext that can't be used. This continues through all the kexts.

Did you ever solve this problem? I am running into the same exact issues with the same drive. I had El Capitan running on this fine before and only did a fresh install after I got a new Mobo.

I followed the Unibeast instructions exactly and I've even used the USB disk before successfully. I've tried recreating the UBD drive from scratch and even re-installed ElCapitan once and had the same boot1: error.

That error sounds like you're trying to perform a Legacy boot to a drive with a UEFI boot loader. You should use your BIOS hotkey to select a boot device and choose "UEFI:YourSystemDrive" and that should get you to a Clover menu.

The problem was my system never had an option for "UEFI:YourSystemDrive".

I ended up solving this problem. In my bios there is a setting for "CSM" and in there you can choose "UEFI" or "UEFI and Legacy". Disabling this all together or choosing "UEFI" fixed my boot1 problem.

Once I restarted I was able to see "UEFI:Samsung 840 Pro" etc
