10.14.5 Update > Can't Get Passed the Clover Boot Window, System Restarts

I took the drive out and booted it from my macbook in a USB enclosure

Oh I see...

Did you get it to work?

Actually, yes I got it to boot. Completely unrelated to anything I had thought... A user on another forum mentioned one of the cpu patches was causing the problem. This is the patch in question (under KernelTOPatch section):

xcpm_bootstrap © Pike R. Alpha (Haswell-E)
Find: 89D804C4 3C227722
Replace: 89D804C1 3C227722

I'm not entirely sure what this patch does, or if it's still necessary/useful, but disabling that got it to boot for me.

After updating to 10.14.5 did you enable xcpm_bootstrap again? Did it boot or did it get stuck again?

No, it won't boot 10.14.5 at all unless I disable that patch. Seems like it affects the CPU frequency scaling, but I'm using PmDrvr.kext so I didn't notice the change.

I read PmDrvr.kext breaks sleep... Oh well I guess I am gonna stick to 10.14.4. I am sure 14.5 isn't a miracle upgrade either
