Before u try to boot with clover beaware that clover setup install sample config.plist that will not work for everyone!
For good config.plist we can use
Clover Configurator to make things easy.
Plz check
Clover WIKI before just start changing things in config.plist
When u first install clover u need to know that default theme set in config.plist its "metal" soo install this one if u dont want-know to change theme in config.plist.
Current happy users can help new users here.
Plz post here your:
Current version of clover
hardware u use
method u use Clover (Legacy or UEFI)
share your config.plist
share your list of drivers u use with clover.
Have created installer and installed, but still can't get the install to boot the first time to do initial set-up.
OK, downloaded Clover Configurator. Is there a guide on how to use it or is it supposed to be "intuitive"?
If not using a DSDT, then ACPI section not used, yes?
Then boot section is fairly self explanatory, although I see no benefit in booting 32 bit mode.
using 64bitUEFI makes 64bit default, yes? For GA-Z77-DS3H with i3 3225 and a disk volume named Mavericks I would think to select verbose mode, type Mavericks into the Default Boot Volume box, default loader then would be Clover, yes? then slide Timeout for wait time and select log if you want to log your boot, yes?
CPU section, for i3 3225, Freq is 3.3 GHz, so type in 3300MHz
where do you get info on Bus Speed, Latency and QPI? I don't find any of this info at Ark.Intel.
Assume type is i3 and put check in C2 box
Devices - ? not sure of any of this
Disable Drivers - Why?
GUI - presume this is for someone who wants to create his/her own?
Graphics - see a place for this with a gfx card installed
Kernel and Kext Patches - OK, might need something there, like Apple RTC
Rt Variables - not sure what this is - over my head ATM
SMBIOS - OK, most of this can come off of Chameleon Wizard, but where do you get the info for the second and third lines of boxes and the SmUID?
System Parameters - I would guess you put the UUID of your boot drive in Custom UUID and Backlight Level is for laptops, Inject Kexts - check so you don't have to select it whenever you boot, check no caches if you want it to always ignore system caches OK, Inject System ID? not sure about this one.
Basically what is needed is a guide for where to find the info to plug into all these boxes.
