Hey guys...just hoping someone can help me sort out booting with Clover.
I have a working ML install using the latest Unibeast/Multibeast combo and Chimera 2.2. I had a lot of trouble getting the Unibeast USB stick to boot, but finally made that happen by simply copying over my working Extra folder to the stick.
I'm including my files here for reference. My hardware is as described in the subject, a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P with Nvidia 430 GT and Core2 Quad 8300 processor at 2 GHz. I lifted a DSDT.aml file that has been working for me from one of the other hackintosh sites' databases.
Working org.chameleon.Boot.plist file:
The Scan Single Drive directive is included to prevent Chimera from choking on my attached Time Machine drive, as per that unfortunate thread.
Working smbios.plist:
Keylayout.dylib is the only thing in modules, and aside from the themes folder and the DSDT.aml, the only other thing in /Extra is a file called nvram.00000000-0000-0000-0000-001a4d56fa1d which has permissions that make it inaccessible to me under normal circumstances (haven't tried root access). The system boots just fine without that file, it should be noted.
The only things I added in Multibeast to get Mavericks running with all hardware enabled were the 81xx ethernet driver (couldn't figure out why my en0 wasn't showing up until I remembered not checking this) and the 889A audio drivers. Network worked out of the box, and the system is super snappy and proved quite stable under Lion and ML and so far Mavericks.
Only problem remaining is that old iLife, iWork and Aperture (all installed from disk) will not update from App Store even though it says updates available. I think this has something to do with the boot loader, and I'm hoping booting it successfully once with Clover will fix it. I could be wrong. Everything else, iCloud, iMessage, other App Store downloads, etc., works just fine.
Clover I set up basically vanilla and finally got it to get past the Apple logo last night, but the screen went black. I had some difficulty prior to that with a kernel panic, but I think adding FakeSMC to the /EFI/kexts/Other folder solved that. I just don't know my way around its config.plist, which I didn't change from stock. This is Clover 2236. I tried Clover Configurator, but it just seems like a GUI to the same options, and I don't know what I'm doing there, either.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
