I updated to Catalina without tidying up the EFI folder, and found this guide in retrospect.
But alas, the damage is done :
the still-Mojave-named boot from Clover launches the Apple logo, and the load animation goes all the way and gives me hope, but then moves on to a black screen.
Same happens when launching recovery installs from Clover.
It could be that there are redundant or misplaced kexts in my EFI, and putting all kexts in the /other folder seems like a potential fix to this.
I would like to get a shot at fixing this before I just delete everything and go for a fresh install.
But I forgot the options available for moving around kexts when the only thing that seems to run properly is Clover (v 5149)
My questions at this stage :
1. Is there a way to move kexts around from Clover shell ? or build a USB boot that could run hackintool in order to do so ?
2. Should I finish (yes I already started) the OpenCore USB boot for a fresh install of Monterey instead ? Think I also need to fix USB mapping/inject first but it's another story.
thanks in advance for your answers
