@festr2 try the slpsmiatwake option in clover and see of that solves your bootloop after 4+ hours of sleep.
 
well ok I have another problem. On the X99-A uploading data to local storage is definitively not 1Gbit but download is very fast. I have confirmed it is not hw issue by swapping the cable with the macbook pro with 1gbit port. Anyone suffering the same problem? What driver shoudl I use? I had to install appleE1000 from the Multibeast to get the network working so the driver is maybe not optimal / compatible?

edit: after 30 minutes of uploading data (20GB) the network controller refused to work until reboot.
edit2: I'm using 3.1.0 appleE1000 - shoudl I try older version?
 
I'm using ethernet port Intel 1217V and I find v2.4.14 the best in all areas.
 
I am about to try the x99M if I can get help deciding the likelihood of success
 
what version did you use ? i have tried with 2953 but i get this error

tried a bunch of boot flags nothing helps me get past that.

Try an older version of Clover. 28xx maybe. What mobo do you have? I wonder if this problem might be specific to one manufacturer. InsaneCultist had the exact same problem with Clover.

I think it has something to do with DDR4 memory. Try using different slide values... slide=0, slide=1, slide=2, etc and see if any of those help.

Also @festr2 you should post your Clover EFI folder, maybe it would be helpful to those having trouble.
 
I'm using the latest clover and it worked out of the box.

I'm having issue with the intel driver for e1000 - 3.1 version works but everyone is complaining about the upload 1gbit issues and instability so they are using 2.4.14 versions but this version is not recognizing my LAN - is there any trick how to convince the 2.4.14 to recognize my e1000?

Did you check the info.plist to see if your device id is in it?
 
this is what I'm trying to learn in the plist but I'm lost. How I can add and where the device id? The
applee1000 driver 3.1 shows this although I have nothing in the info.plist (btw is it config.plist in the efi clover?)

Type: ethernet
Bus: PCI
Vendor ID: 0x8086
Device ID: 0x15a1
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1043

I'm talking about AppleIntelE1000e.kext/Contents/Info.plist. usually there's a bunch of device ids in there for what it's compatible with. Search for 15a1 in there. I'm guessing maybe it's in the 3.1 version but not in the older one, in which case you would just need to add it. Worst case scenario you can just get a pcie Ethernet card that is supported ootb for like $20.
