Can't boot Clover UEFI on Asus P8Z77-M Pro

Status
Not open for further replies.
ok, so that didn't actually work but I have been able to get it booting like this:

first I took the simple-config.plist posted earlier
then I added some things to it (mainly TRIM support and changed SMBIOS to MacPro3,1)
I also changed AsusAICPUPM to true (is there any reason to flash BIOS other than fixing the issue this flag addresses?)
not sure if it was necessary but I also added FixShutdown_0004 (true)
here it is my working config.plist:

The last thing to try and address is I can only get it to boot when I hit spacebar and boot without caches and injecting kexts. I don't know how to resolve those two issues or at least set them automatically so I don't have to watch my computer as it's booting.

I had one that was more customized but that's the one that installing clover 2236 created

Quite a guessing game we're playing when you haven't posted you system specs...
 
If you can boot by select "without caches - with kexts injected", go to OS X and install all your required kexts by using KextWizard.

P8z77-M Pro, a 3570k, and a 660ti (and a 760 I swapped in and out to troubleshoot)
close enough to the playbox in your signature that when you responded to my initial post I forgot to clarify we were using similar hardware

I forget some people will post in a thread that has nothing to do with their hardware just because they see "can't boot" ;)

@nguyenmac
I've installed the kexts but I still can't boot unless I choose without caches.
Is there a final suggestion I can use to resolve that only issue remaining?

Go to EFI/Clover/kexts/10.9 and install all those kexts to your system. If it does not helped, you should add Nocaches - Kexts injected to your config.plist, so you don't have to choose it every boot.

I installed all the kexts to system/library/extensions but I still have to manually select "without caches"

I tried adding a boot flag "WithKexts" based on this
http://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefiboot/wiki/BootArgs/

and I tried adding a boot flag of NoCache and boot=NoCache

This http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/32e9e4d388c711aabcf7bfde26734bea77ce5135 and http://www.osx86.net/topic/14668-guide-clover-efi-bootloader/ aren't very clear where or how to put NoCache in the config.plist
 
I haven't been able to get "WithKext" in the config working on the last 40 or 50 releases... Install your kexts in S/L/E and clear cache before you reboot...

Thanks for the response. Now I'm getting

PHP: 
<!-- Ususal stuff here, doesn't look as important -->

Debugger called: <panic>

I've tried deleting the caches and booting with -f but neither are working.

If I remove my DSDT then I experience this error
[IOBluetoothHCIController][SearchForTransportEventTimeOutHandler] -- Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport!

Maybe something is wrong with my DSDT?
I tried to extract it with the instructions from this section
Extracting your native/clean DSDT using Linux /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT
from this link
https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch/wiki/How-to-patch-your-DSDT

I tried to boot with a clean DSDT under mavericks but different threads say booting with a clean one is with a different command: some say DSDT=null, DSDT=no, DSDT=0 so I'm not sure which one is correct. Also, I'm not sure I can boot with chameleon (that's the only way I can boot currently) t'd get a clean DSDT and then patch it and use it with clover.


Are you guys running mavericks? Has anything changed in this guide due to mavericks?

I don't know if you are still suffering the same problem. I had exactly the same a while ago. I compiled Clover myself with both CloverGrower and CloverGrowerPro. the same error while booting. What solved the problem for me is just download the precompiled version at SourceForge.
 
Build 1
Z490M Gaming X |  i5 10600 |  RX 580 Pulse 8GB
I'm preparing my computer for upgrading to Mavericks, and I want to create an all-UEFI setup. I have a working (except for the occasional hang after reboot) setup with Clover 1974, with a custom SSDT which gives me fully working speedstep for my i5-3750k. When I upgrade to Clover 2330 though, it all breaks apart. I have "translated" the config file from the older version as best I could, and it kind of works if I let Clover create PStates and CStates (but that gives me fewer steps than my own custom SSDT, and no overclock), but as soon as I drop in my existing SSDT.aml, OS X refuses to boot. I've tried dropping all vendor SSDT tables, as well as just CpuPm, and both CpuPm and Cpu0ist. Any clues?
