install_downloads.sh automatically installs the necessary kexts to /L/E and essential kexts to EFI/Clover/kexts/Other.

Clover is on the EFI partition. You can remove it simply by removing all files/folders from the EFI/Clover and EFI/BOOT

Hi Rehabman,


Managed to launch the usb installer manually. F9>boot device option>...>efi>boot>bootx64.efi
Got to new clover layout and launched install sierra. At some point I get a screen with lots of info and then everything turns into older clover bootloader from the hard disk. I attached the photo.

Please answer these questions
1 why the usb installer doesn't work in autolaunch mode? I put usb first boot in bios
2 what is wrong in the process of preparing usb that gives that info screen photo after launch

Thanks a lot

Nothing surprising there. It is as required by HP BIOS implementation.

Got to new clover layout and launched install sierra. At some point I get a screen with lots of info and then everything turns into older clover bootloader from the hard disk. I attached the photo.

No photo attached.

BIOS implementation by HP.

2 what is wrong in the process of preparing usb that gives that info screen photo after launch

No idea what you mean by "that info screen photo" or "after launch".

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

considering this photo here's the question again
what is with preparing the usb installer that after launching Install macOS Sierra from the usb clover it starts with the apple and progres bar and after a while it gives that screen from the photo?

Thanks rehabman

Update

No "hires" requirement currently for Haswell and later (eg. Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake, KabyLake, KabyLake-R). In fact, no such option exists for those models in install_acpi.sh.

"hires" is specific to Ivy and Sandy.

install_acpi.sh does the right thing if you use it properly.

Thank you. Really appreciate your confirmation.

Just guessing: you likely forgot to update your config.plist.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.
