What do you mean it doesn't boot? You can't get to the clover boot screen or it won't boot into the install window?

Ah sorry, wasnt really good said.
I come through Clover but when it starts to going to the wizard the progress bar stands at the beginning with the apple logo forever. So, i stop seeing the verbose messages, can use the mouse but the progress bar just stops.

Boot with the -v (verbose setting in clover) so you can see where it hangs. Hit the spacebar at boot, scroll down and check verbose, then school back up an choose boot with selected options and post the result

I bott with -v but at one point the verbose logs stops and the apple logo appears with a progress bar, but the progress bar stops at the beginnging.
So when the apple logo comes up what i should do? Press Spacebar ?
Bc while the colver boot/verbose messages everything works.

I will post the result later then, hopefully i can.

Try updating Whatevergreen.kext if you haven't already. Also try a different video output or monitor. If you have two monitors unplug one of them.

Tried everything you said. I even tried without WhateverGreen and I stuck at the same spot.

The boot logo comes after the verbose messages!

Kind regards,

I found the problem, for some reason it doesn't boot with the wifi card installed, but without its working.
I use a DW1820A, someone have an idea what I have todo to let it work with it?

Kind regards,

I've had that problem too with my laptop but swapped in a DW1560 instead of trying to get the 1820 to work. You can try this here but no idea if it will change anything, I never tried it.
