I to have new issues that I have not had in a long time
My previous install on this DX58so is El Cap from about 5 years ago at least.
native NVRAM wasn't working yet so it was installed UEFI but with rtvariables and scripts
everything worked as it should
fast forward.. I decided to do a fresh install of Mojave ... using clover in the 5000+
now the computer wont boot to Clover unless I hit F10 and go into the one time boot menu
The one time boot menu now has a 'Heading' or grouping label called Mac OS X ... that my EFI shell hard drive is under
I have never installed as Mac OS X
MAC OS X doesn't show up anywhere other than the one time boot menu.. if I select it.. I get the same boot to black cursor freeze as if I let the system boot through
If I F10 and select the EFI SHELL volume that is indented one character in under the Mac OS X header it will boot to clover.. sometimes I get the no entry sign when booting my volume other times it boots
I installed on a APFS formatted drive
using the bless --info --verbose and bless --getboot --verbose commands
I get errors that there are no linked boot items and that bless doesn't match...
additionally .. here is the ONLY place other than the one time boot menu where I find 'Mac OS X'
bless is trying to link it as boot but its not valid
there is no way in intel DX58so UEFI implementation for me to mess with the UEFI boot menu.. and in fact.. I didn't think it even kept one.. but I never had issues with it using clover in the mid 4000 range and not using native NVRAM
now that the new clover recommends using OSXAPTIOFIX3 .. that has given me native nvram on this board
perhaps it has opened the ROM up to allow clover / OS X to make changes in the motherboards non volatile memory that should never be accessed outside a real mac
resetting the board, downgrading and reloading bios .. nothing clears it..
my motherboard is now permanently damaged and wont boot through to any operating system attached
WITH NO DRIVES attached... that Mac OS X heading is still in my one time boot menu..
additionally.. looking in /system/library/coreservices (where boot.efi lives) I now have MANY boot.efi files that end with random boot.efi.XXXXXXXX garbage that I don't have on my real macs..
I am thinking of deleting some of those to see if that helps with the no entry .. as perhaps the boot chain is picking the wrong boot.efi?
anyway.. its jacked up
