Clover boot issues

[Reghuram]

@Reghuram,

Since i have only ever used/use Sapphire cards i can't really recommend a different OEM card that will work 100% without any issues as it would not be fair on you or myself if something did not work.

However I have read many success stories with MSI branded AMD cards although I don't know which exact models.

Generally speaking the more budget friendly cards will be closer to the reference designs rather than the Gaming and OverClocked models which tend to have extra's ports, more advanced cooling solutions and customised VBIOS's which can cause (but not always) issues.

Most AMD GPU's simply need Lilu + WhatEverGreen installed in /L/E to work.

You have to do your research and base your purchase decision on the experience that others users have written about.

If in doubt, don't be afraid to ask questions on the appropriate build thread, most users are happy to share their knowledge and experience with others.

Cheers
Jay

hi jay monkey can you help me out with this

My build
mobo - gigabyte z370 M (Not Gaming)
i5 9400f (Discrete graphics card is a must)
sapphire RX 560

ok now the problem is I made USB bootable using unibeast I selected UEFI mode, selcted ATI inject, selected sierra and completed copying the files, which made the USB bootable.
I booted the USB, selected the right disk and I got the clover bootloader screen, i slected external in the boot menu and i got the apple logo.
Few seconds after a prohibitory symbol appeared, I pressed escape and selecting verberos now.
Then I got a screen showing

OsxAptioFix2Drv: starting overrides for /System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi
using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no
Error allocating 0x12623 pages at 0x000000001d8c6000 alloc type 2
Couldn't allocate runtime area
Boot failed, sleeping for 10 seconds before exiting...

i searched the forum and they asked me to change from OsxAptioFix2Drv to OsxAptioFixDrv
some said to try OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi
im confused please help out a noob here

also i tried downloading OsxAptioFixDrv from github through chrome it says its a harmfull fiel why is it so?

@Reghuram,

I believe that OsxAptioFix2Drv has been superseded by OsxAptioFix3Drv as it no longer packaged with the Clover installer.
There have been some fairly major changes in Clover recently which means it no longer supports older efi drivers so you should not mix and match.

Try downloading the latest Clover installer (currently r5018) and do a fresh install on to a clean usb, be sure to select all of the efi drivers you need in the installer as clover r5000+ has a new folder structure for the drivers.

See this post for more info on the folder changes ...

macOS 10.14.6 Update

I lost sound. I am running the latest AppleALC.kext.

@Reghuram,

I've personally have never used Multibeast so cant really comment specifically on it.
I always use the latest versions of everything downloaded directly from the developers.

You can download the latest version of Clover installer directly from :-

Clover EFI bootloader - Browse /Installer at SourceForge.net

Boot macOS, Windows, and Linux on Mac or PC with UEFI or BIOS firmware

sourceforge.net

You can stay up to date on the development of Clover through this thread :-

I finally installed Sierra on my PC, the build is mentioned above.
Everything is working except ethernet, I tried installing realtek and Intel drivers from multibeast but nothing seems to be working.
Is my mobo too advanced for an ethernet driver?
Cheers!

No, you must Install kexts in /L/E, you can not just simply use finder, use the guide i gave you the link to in Post #6.
