Catalina install working but needs help booting

[RadMatty]

I have two drives on my Desktop machine, one has a successful installation of Mohave, the other has a new installation of Catalina.. If I select the Catalina Drive as my boot drive it gets to the apple boot screen and hangs up.. If I select my Mohave Drive to boot from and switch to the Catalina Drive in the clover boot screen it's boots fine and Catalina works properly. When I boot the Mohave Drive I see white text scrolling down the screen before the clover boot screen comes on. when I boot the Catalina Drive I don't get the scroll of white text, it just goes right into the clover boot screen. I think whatever I need, whatever is missing has something to do with that scroll of white text that comes before the clover boot screen. How can I fix this?

I should also say that the disk with Catalina on it is a disk that I had a bootable clone of my Mojave drive on. I updated that with the Catalina app from the app store.

I should mention another thing, I've got Catalina on a Samsung EVO 970 Plus NVME SSD in an m2 slot updated to the latest firmware in Windows with the Samsung magician software.

This is what I need. This little bit of text pops up on the screen right after the gigabyte logo. When booting up. But it is absent on the drive that has Catalina. If I boot up my Mohave Drive and then switch to the Catalina Drive when I get to the clover window it boots up. How do I get this back into the boot sequence?

Use ApfsDriverLoader.efi instead of apfs.efi.

Use ApfsDriverLoader.efi instead of apfs.efi.

Thanks. Getting rid of apfs.efi from the drivers really sped up my boot times made it possible for me to get Catalina installed.
