This is a very quick guide on making the Recovery HD partition usable in El Capitan, bootable via Clover.
1- " diskutil list "
* you will get de partition list, note that the Recovery Partition is obviously named " Recovery HD "...
* check the number of the partition it is in, in this case, 3:, so, you will have disk0s3 as mount device...
---
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *240.1 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS El Capitan 239.2 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
---
2- create a folder in Volumes folder for Recovery HD and mount it there...
" sudo mkdir /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/ "
" sudo mount -t hfs /dev/disk0s3 /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/ "
3- enter the directory and remove the " prelinkedkernel "
" cd /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/ "
" sudo rm -rf prelinkedkernel "
4- now, copy your working prelinkedkernel there...
" sudo cp /System/Library/PrelinkedKernels/prelinkedkernel /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/ "
and just in case...
" sudo touch prelinkedkernel "
5- reboot and test it... (takes some time to load even in real macs)
Enjoy!
