Used uefi shell with bcfg to remove extra entries. Now I cannot rename the uefi os entry to something more friendly.

I've managed to delete clover and reinstall. Now I have 4 entries in bios f8 boot device. How do I rename these to something more friendly? Also, it is normal to have 4 entries for a single clover partition?

Also the AICPUPM option in Clover helps. Without this option, all the threads are at the same frequency. With this checked, different threads have individual speeds.

I had to rename the windows efi as it overwrote my clover. After cloning to another drive, I ended up with a messed up boot menu. I have only one HDD connected. Here is the boot option from uefi bios boot. Then it gave me a choice of windows efi. So I ended up removing my entries. Now how do I...

Its fixed. I updated Clover to the latest version, ran ssdtPrGen.sh again. Copied the newly generated files and voila! Perfectly functioning system. I added rtvariables changes - I think to disable SIP. Thanks for your help!

Stuck at loading stage

Now it does not boot - does not get past the loading stage. Any idea which variables were changed ? I can see the RtVariables - Is that all that was changed ?

Would this work for Ivy Bridge - EP? I got a Sierra 10.12.6 install on a Sabertooth X79 with Xeon E5 1680 v2.

Deleted all these entries and no luck - still at 1.2GHz. I've attached the bdmesg log - it seems Clover does recognize the speeds correctly. Something happens when the system starts

Could be. They are from an old install. Shall I delete all the AICPUPM related patches inside clover ?

I've dumped the BIOS tables using F4 if these may help for debugging.

X79PlatformPlugin.kext is not loaded. - not sure why. Also, I tried after disabling EIST in BIOS - its still stuck at 1.2 GHz.

I had speedstep working perfectly using a 3960X 6-core. I had to use a third party dsdt with processor 1-16 included and all the rest deleted to allow the boot with the 8-core E5 1680 v2. Otherwise I got the Kernel Panic "should have 16 threads but only found 17" When I boot in, I...

Any idea why this DSDT will keep the CPUo at 1.2GHz in Sierra on Sabertooth X79? The 3960x 6-core worked great. But I got the 16 threads error on upgrading to E5 1680 v2. I was able to boot with the DSDT in first post - but the CPU is limited to 1.2GHz.

Does anyone have the vanilla AppleHDA kext lying around ? EDIT:Its OK- got it from installer
