HP laptops, Big Sur with Clover

[fivos1996]

Hi. Does anybody know if the latest release of Clover includes a kernel patch for the infamous Local APIC panic that occurs on HP laptops with a locked MSR 0xE2, that works on Big Sur? Due to bandwidth limitations of my internet connection, I don't want to risk wasting 12GB if it doesn't work in the end. So I need your advice since I am unable to find any manual kernel patch for BS at all. Thanks.

It can be done but apparently not easily on those affected HP laptops.

Sorry for my English，
You can use clover-v5120 to boot a installed system big sur，but not boot a big sur installer.
I installed big sur with vm to disk, then it could be booted by clover.

Clover has no support for Kernel Collections kext injection - which is needed to boot recovery/installer for Big Sur. BS can be booted in Prelinked kernel mode, but it needs to already be installed and use a couple of NVRAM variables. Jief is working on a version of Clover which includes OpenCore within it to use it's Kext injection, but honestly at that point it's probably better to just use OpenCore and not have a weird Frankenstein layer in between.
