I've only done limited testing and it seems fine. I've pretty much switched to OpenCore for everyday use.

Just make a backup of your Clover r5119 EFI so you can go back to it if you experience any problems. But I think you'll be fine.

I tried, but your config is so different to mine in the meantime, that I cannot identify everything I changed. Especially in the device property tab is a lot of new stuff. I also have pptables ... anyway, what is purpose of updating clover anyway?

If you want to run Big Sur, you will need to update.

If you intend to stay with Catalina, there's no point in updating.

This is why it says „this version of clover is not compatible with your os“... ok, then I‘ll just stay with 5119, as it’s really stable at the moment. Thanks!

I don't think Clover says that. If you are seeing that, it's probably macOS telling you that and it also means you don't have your config.plist configured correctly.

Contrats!!

I was wondering if somebody knows if the boot speed can be optimised. I see the first stage loading quite fast but between the first and 2nd boot phase (Apple logo with progress indicator) it stops a few seconds about 70% of process bar. Any idea if this can be improved?

anybody knows why? Attached picture where you can see the boot seems too stall for a while (5-10sec).

Ok. Thanks. I will look into that.

Is iGPU working on OC 0.6.3? I have iMac19,1 definition in my config and I have just blue screen after boot. Also my graphics name is "???? 2GB" after updating to 0.6.3 (on RX560 card)

Are you using IGPU only?

You can edit the About This Mac graphics description to say anything you like. It's just cosmetic. Just edit config.plist > DeviceProperties > Add.

I would like to use this tray to swap 3,5" disks. https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00FA4IF5I/?tag=tonymacx8603-21

I enabled hotplug for the SATA port I use with this tray in the BIOS settings and installed the AppleAHCIPort kext according to griven. https://www.hackintosh-forum.de/forum/thread/43201-catalina-10-15-und-ich10-hotplug/

Still, when there is a HDD in the tray before I start the computer, it will mount. I can deactivate it (not unmount), and reactivate it. But as soon as I use another hdd I get an error message "(com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter-Fehler -119930868.)"

Does anybody have an idea what could be the problem or expierience with hdd-trays in Catalina?

EDIT: The problem might be in the BIOS already. The drives in the slot is not shown in BIOS, but it mounts. SATA6 is always shown empty.
