[Guide] Dual boot Windows and Yosemite with Clover EFI Boot Loader on a Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591G

[ikayhan]

You need to comment out one line in SSDT5 (see above comments) otherwise it won't compile in MaciASL.

Sorry, the info you need is in this thread (see post # 55 for the line that needs commenting out)

Thanks again
But I'm stucked here,

"Note regarding Clover v3062+: A change in the way SSDTs are loaded from ACPI/patched makes the order non-deterministic. You should specify the order explicitly with config.plist/ACPI/SortedOrder. See here for more info: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/inde...ndpost&p=43690. The SortedOrder option is implemented in Clover v3088+. More background information starts at this post here:
The link is not working.

PS: I have completed editing the SSDT4 and SSDT5.

Yes, projectosx.com has been down for weeks. It may not come back. Welcome to the internet.

You can see examples of SortedOrder here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config

This is what I have in my config.plist. Make sure you have your DSDT and edited SSDT files in the patched folder in the EFI (/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched)

        <key>SortedOrder</key>
        <array>
            <string>SSDT1.aml</string>
            <string>SSDT4.aml</string>
            <string>SSDT5.aml</string>
        </array>

This is what I have in my config.plist

		<key>SortedOrder</key>
		<array>
			<string>SSDT1.aml</string>
			<string>SSDT4.aml</string>
			<string>SSDT5.aml</string>
		</array>

Assuming it is in the right section and your files are named as listed, then it should force that order. Check your Clover bootlog to verify.

Thanks ! But what did you edited to the SSDT-1.aml ?
By the way, did your touchpad works ?

Yes ! Got my brightness fix and nvidia graphic card disabled. Thanks

I didn't edit SSDT1.aml or DSDT.aml, but I just included them in there so Clover could load them up as a set and just to be consistent. I figured that there will come a time that those files will need to be edited.

Glad to hear. It was a relief for me when I loaded up System Information and didn't see any entry for the Nvidia card. That and the brightness fix took a couple of hours to figure out. Rehabman helped alot of course...couldn't have done it without his help.

My touchpad works, even tap to click. I think you will need the VoodooPS2Controller.kext if I am not mistaken. Do you have that file in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/other ??
