[SOLVED] Install boots via USB install drive, but not internal using clover - circle with line and then shuts down

First, what is the proper term for the circle with the line through? This might help me search for an existing answer.

Following the Tonymacx86 installation guide, I managed to install El Capitan with the Unibeast installer and the Clover Legacy bootloader. I did all the post-installation up to Clover Configurator, and everything was working perfectly (booting, audio, network, etc...)

However, iMessage was broken, so I opened clover configurator to try to setup the SMBIOS settings (using the existing /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist) as the base.

Now, whenever I try to boot, I get a circle with a linethrough.

I'm still able to boot into my system if I plug in the Unibeast created installer and select my internal drive.

Is there any way to debug this or somehow start with a clean clover install?

I've tried reinstalling `Clover_v2.3k_r3320-Legacy-root.pkg` and the CustoMac essentials, but it still doesn't work.

Apple call it the prohibitory symbol but many people erroneously refer to it as the no entry sign.

Ah, ok, immediately that helped a lot, and I'm feeling really silly as of course the first thing I should have done as mentioned in the thread is boot into verbose mode.

So the error was

This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this plaform!

Which was of course due to the wrong SMBIOS settings, I updated to a newer MacPro model and it's working again.

Now my issues with iMessage are still there, but I think I will do more research and create a new thread if necessary.

Thank you for the help and pointing me in the right direction.
