Hi,
I've been trying to set-up Clover on a USB stick to boot my 10.8.2 GA-Z68XP-UD3 system with GA's UEFI BIOS, in order to restore iMessage and Facetime connectivity. I've been following the thread http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/84047-imessage-wont-work.html. Although there's a lot of information scattered throughout the thread on getting up and running with Clover, the information on getting a system with UEFI Bios is somewhat sparse.
I have followed many steps to boot into OS X using Clover and none have succeeded. Here is what I have tried (note, I am using the HFSPlus.efi posted in the above thread in all these steps and the attached config.plist):
Method 1.) Clover installed using UEFI method from the "Custom Install" screen.
Results: The system will boot into Clover and the ML partition is visible. When I try booting ML, the grey screen with an apple comes up and hangs. No progress wheel appears under the apple. If I boot with "-v" I don't see any information on my screen, just a black screen. I have tried toggling the "Graphics Injector" flag from "No" to "Yes" with no change. My original Chameleon setup has Graphics Enabler set to "No" for my ATI card.
Method 2.) Clover installed using the BIOS boot0hfs install from "Custom Install" screen.
Results: The system will boot into Clover and the ML partition is visible. When I try booting ML, the screen goes black with no additional activity. The "-v" flag will not display any information.
Method 3.) Clover installed using the BIOS boot0 install.
Results: Same as 2.
I'll add that I am not using any SSD drives and my HD is attached to an Intel SATA 3.0 port. I've tried a few other things like: including a DSDT.aml for the F13 Bios, changing the mac identification to other models which are sandy bridge based and including appropriate SN's from the chameleon utility. My USB stick is FAT32 with MBR partitioned.
I am continuing to review various posts and the Clover documentation, but has anyone had success with this particular motherboard and UEFI Bios combination? If so, what I am missing?
Thanks,
