Much appreciated.
First, I tried the HPET fix set to true in EFI/CLOVER/config.plist, and got the same panic.
Second, I obtained with Clover F4 EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/origin/DSDT.aml, converted with iasl as advised, and then loaded it into MaciASL, and changed the HPET._STA method to look like this:
Code:
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) // _STA: Status
{
Return(0x0b)
}
then hit compile, got no errors, so saved as binary to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml and tried again, and it looks like I got something slightly different. I got the 'unauthorized' sign, and garbled text, and it is polling (presumably for a debugger to attach?) every minute or so. (EDIT: just realized it likely says 'still waiting for root device')
FYI, I am using
'dart=0 nv_disable=1 cpus=1 debug=0x100 -v npci=0x3000'. Without the npci flag I get hung on
[ PCI configuration begin ].
Am I doing something noobish here? I am going to try another USB port as described in
the big list of solutions.
