Hi,

Just created a Sierra USB. Boots to clover fine but get a line of plus symbols after selecting the USB in clover.

Bootflags: nv_disable=1 UseKernelCache=No

  • Please add a Verbose boot flag (-v) to the Clover Boot Manager screen's "Options>Boot Args:- -v
  • Take a photo of the screen where you see any "booting problem" you perceive displayed on your Monitor and upload that image file though "[ Upload a File]" button at the bottom of the Forum's message box with the text you type.
  • If you have not already done, for your nVidia GTX 960 for Sierra (new Release Web driver), you need to modify your USB installer's EFI>CLOVER >Config.plist by adding the following to the "SystemParamerters" section:
<key>SystemParameters</key>
<dict>
<key>InjectKexts</key>
<string>YES</string>
<key>InjectSystemID</key>
<true/>
<key>NvidiaWeb</key>
<true/>
</dict>

You can do that via "Textedit" or through "Clover Configurator" once you open the "Config.plist" in either of them; in the text edit you have to type in the code shown above (from Tonymac Graphics Forum) .

In case you are opting "Clover Configurator" , once you open the config. plist and navigate to the "SystemParameters " menu on its Left Pane, you can locate and place check marks instead of typing in the code.

How to get to config.plist on your USB Installer disk (or System disk, if that is the case)?
Mount the EFI folder of the disk, launching Clover Configurator (or EFI Mounter V3) downloaded and installed.
The Efi folder will be on the Desktop and you navigate like: EFI>EFI>CLOVER>config.plist

If you have more than one disk attached to the system( EX: several Internal SATA HDDs , Ext USB disks etc), to select the 'correct target disk for EFI mounting', in CC, you click the "Mount EFI" at the left Panel) > [Check Partition] at the bottom of the window and in the next screen locate your Target disk and its disk ID from IDENTIFIER column on the RIGHT> now click [ Mount EFI Partition] at CC's bottom and in the select the target disk with its disk Identifier noted earlier and click>Password> find "EFI" on the desktop (off-white for USB Disk /dark gray for HDD in my monitor screen)
