Direct Update to macOS Sierra using Clover

[zagzea]

no worries bud! good luck with your install

Hey Feartech, I managed to update to sierra, looking good, with sound and almost everything, problem is at boot clover, I get this screen. So I have to choose manually Clover EFI boot and it works, any idea?

I will confirm I have this working when enabling kext, verbose, web graphics enabled, and without cache selected.

My only issue right now is that I can't seem to get my video card to display color correctly. Installed the beta graphics card and my blues and reds are all mixed up.

I'm using Mac Pro 5,1 profile

Hi i am stuck also at the gray screen with the ball. Can you tell me how to boot with those options?
My config is with UEFI Boot and worked fine under El Capitan:

CPU Intel Core i7-2500K
Mainboard Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3
Grafikkarte Saphire Radeon HD 6870

Anyone having sleep issues since upgrading? I finally got wake after sleep working without all apps crashing (used 14,2) and now since update, manual sleep and wake very flaky....

Anyone else had similar problems with sleep and wake up on a similar spec? I had to go back to El Cap in the meantime... thanks in advance

Hi all,

I've tried to update my Chimera Yosemite installation to Sierra with Clover. Firstly i installed clover and booted Yosemite from there. Everything worked fine. Then i downloaded Sierra and started the installation. System restarted into the installation with the appropriate options as described in the guide and i saw the installation screen (Apple logo with XX mins remaining). Then i left my pc to grab a coffee and after about 30 mins that i was back, the system was at the Clover boot screen showing only the Boot Recovery Partition Option. My installation was gone. After booting the recovery i was able to see my partition through Disk Utility but not able to mount it. Any ideas anyone?

Thank you,
Diamadis

now, I should post that I have a problem, after installing went well, I did use multibeast for sierra, and now I have a panic computer in a loop...what should I do? Can you help me please? I managed to boot from Clover EFI, not from the HD

Try this #873

Thanks, here's what I got: removed GPU and reestart, install clover bootloader and put back GPU, but KP again...so if it is GPU caused KP what should I do?

What I did: I removed GPU, installed Sierra and Clover boot loader, booted again but from HDD without GPU, placed those 2 kexts to S/L/E, rebuild cache, booted again to make sure kexts are not causing any problems. Then I put GPU back and booted to Sierra from HDD with proper boot args.

BTW, I took NVDAStartup.kext and IOPCFamily.kext from my working El Capitan partition.

Okay, so I wasn't sure if I was gonna update to Sierra or not, but after reading some posts, I decided to update my clover configurator and my clover boot loader. Because you know I didn't think that would hurt anything. Well, when I restarted my computer clover auto booted to "boot OS X from capitan ssd". That entry leads to a long boot time on apple screen and then a white frozen screen. When I restart, I select "Boot macOS from capitan ssd" that causes my computer to boot normally. Is there a way that I can have clover auto boot to macOS option instead of Boot os x option until I'm ready to fully update to Sierra?

Solved AppleACPICPU timeout error before installation. Have tried couple of options that was recommended on the forum. Non of them solved my issue anyway.

But solved it in this way, maybe someone with the same configuration could need this:

• Removed my external graphic card
• Enabled o/b graphics in BIOS
  
• On boot screen clicked "O" first to get into boot arguments and removed any argument except -v
• Selected "boot with selected"
