Ok so I probably should have asked for help but I am an idiot and stubborn, didn't want to bother you guys and tried to find a solution here before asking the same thing again. Now I made things worse. I don't know where this goes as it is Sierra install problems that became El Capitan booting issues
So a little history of how I got my system to reboot as soon as the apple logo appears.
I was updating from El Capitan to Sierra. Updated Clover and then when I installed Sierra, it froze about 30 seconds in, about 20 or so pixels into the progress. It stayed there for several hours before I restarted and the install option was gone so I booted back into the El Capitan install. But I got the same problem. Of course I did a verbose mode and it said something about the CPU and then incompatible or incomplete power management, but since I thought I found a solution here I didn't take a picture. So there is that. Maybe some weird thing to note is that the stoppage happened in a different spot if it was -v and -x were invoked.
So I tried playing with kext files and now I get this in verbose.
Also, when I go into the BIOS settings I see a ton of selections to boot but I have an old, old 10.8.5 I am using now, the El Capitan, and the USB, so there shouldn't be this many. In fact, there are so many it can't show them all.
The USB is first off the list not able to be shown.
I was trying for a long time to get it working stupidly by getting Sierra settings but then realized I am trying to get the old El Capitan to boot at the very least and I will try to install when I have the courage and can figure it out better. So I have really screwed things up and nothing I try seems to make things better, in fact, things seem worse. I am about to try a fresh install on an empty hard drive, but that makes me nervous as that will force me to lose this old one in the process possibly and then everything is done on my phone if I run into trouble.
My Clover now looks like this as well.
With 2 clover options. :S
My current CLOVER folder from the EFI partition is attached
Not sure if that helps any one. Any ideas?
