Thanks craig. I'll do it later and let you know

Guys, I checked my BIOS screen and just saw this...The SSD I have installed appears like 4 times as Boot option....is this normal?

Anyone else have this in their BIOS?

i boot from USB for the first time and everything was ok as described in guide. After i install the system on SSD i realize that did something wrong and started all over again. now my bios looks same and i can't boot from USB.
I don't know what is this but i have same thing. i Disabled all boot options except option 1 and set there USB. but it still doesn't boot as it should from USB. (((

Right now everything is working
but when i go to "about this MAC" "memory"
it tells me i have 8gb installed (2x4gb) and i have 16 gb installed (2x8gb)

I had the same problem.

You have to open the CloverConfigurator App from 'postinstall' folder on your Hackintosh, mount the EFI unit, then open the 'config.plist' file (EFI / EFI / CLOVER / config.plist)

Then in the left list, select SMBIOS and input the info of your RAMs (all info has be to identical in the 2 slots)

Check this image for reference:

Spoiler

Once you do this. Edit / Save, then Quit CloverConfigurator and restart. You should have your 16Gb recognized.

Ok i start getting it.
Every time we open Clover it mounts partition EFI where we have files we change
and it affects how system sees the hardware.

I was able to change everything as you suggest and now i can see this.
is it ok?

Thank you. I wish i know computers better...

Hello how did you manage this?

Noticed that I'm unable to shut down computer. цру ш choose shut down from apple logo manu computer turns off, light on the case turns off for 1-2 seconds and that turns on again. Basically computer restarts on shutdown command.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Yep, you're not alone. Lot of people having problems with Shut down or Sleep mode.

Yesterday I saw a YouTube comment of Quinn from Snazzy Labs saying he resolved the problem and he'll search for the command he used and share it.... I'm waiting

This is the problem that I posted earlier in this thread, and how I solve it.

"Multiple EFI entries in BIOS. Please follow this link to fix this issue http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/g...boot-entries-prevent-further-problems.175274/. The #53 post by MacMerlin on page 6 helps a lot for my case."

It's a serious problem, and it seems like an entry will be created for every reboot of the system.

Call me newbie (I am)....but reading that comment, I don't know which steps to take

Instead I solved it by writing my own boot entry into Clover EFI Shell. Boot to Clover loader. Enter EFI Shell. As shell loads, note the label of the HDD/SSD your efi and OS X are installed on. FS0 in my case. Then bcfg boot dump. VERY CAREFULLY add a new entry after the highest one in the list. I had to type "bcfg boot add 05 FS0:\EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI CloverBoot" w/o the quotes.

Then, booted into OS X, mounted EFI, and renamed /BOOT to BOOT.bak

Tested rebooting several times and seems resolved. (I did have to go into Bios and select my new CloverBoot as boot option 1).
Hope it helps! Use with caution.

He means, run the CloverConfig App or type on the Terminal of El Capitan?
What is bcfg dump? :S

I'm a newbie too =p The step by step instruction is on the 1st post of that guide. You type the commands in Clover command line, where u boot into clover rather than OS X.

As for the post by MacMerlin, I faced the same issue as him/her, where my system has the BOOTx64.EFI rather than the CLOVERX64.EFI stated in the guide. So you need to remove the extra EFI entries, then follow MacMerlin way to insert a new entry that points to CLOVERX64.EFI, then once booted into OS X, rename /BOOT to BOOT.BAK

Do read through the whole thread. It helps!

ps: bcfg dump is a command in Clover.

Ok, so this guy MacMerlin did all this step after erase all the UEFI BIOS boot options?....or he didn't had to?

Enter EFI Shell. As shell loads, note the label of the HDD/SSD your efi and OS X are installed on. FS0 in my case. Then bcfg boot dump. VERY CAREFULLY add a new entry after the highest one in the list. I had to type "bcfg boot add 05 FS0:\EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI CloverBoot" w/o the quotes.

After doing this, in OS X, open Cloverconfigurator, mount the EFI?.... and where do you changed the name to BOOT?

Then, booted into OS X, mounted EFI, and renamed /BOOT to BOOT.bak
