I have been trying to get clover to boot an installer for over a year now. I got it to boot finally an hour ago using the settings Tony talked about in his post (our motherboards are similar).
My Moherboard -
GA-EX58-UD3R 1.6/1.7 FK
Graphics -
Nvidia 480gtx
The only thing I had to change was I had to add "nv_disable=1" to the boot, or my computer would restart before the installed launched. The install is in a lower resolution, but its almost done now.
I formatted the drive in GUID, which something tells me is going to be a problem...
Update:
it's done now...
No Sound
Resolution is wrong, and I can't change it, OS is not seeing my graphic card correctly.
Working Bluetooth
Wow this is a lot to sort through...
Update Two:
Still booting from the USB, I don't know if I can get clover to boot without it because the HDD is in GUID mode.
I got the graphics to work by doing the following -
1. Installed the latest nvidia web driver, and shut the machine down.
2. I have Clover Configurator installed on another machine, which I used to edit the "config.plist" file deselecting "nv_disable=1," and selecting "nvda_drv=1." I also selected the kext developer option (I forget what it's called, but I remember you had to have it enabled in Yosemite for the system to boot. For some reason El Capitan boots using Clover without it, but I thought what the hell).
When I booted up, the machine restarted before the OS loaded.
3. I founded Nivida graphic got unchecked in the graphics area for some reason, I checked that and the system booted beautiful.
It appears to boot, and shut down more slowly using Clover, but graphics wise it boots cleaner.
iMessage just worked on boot, which is crazy!
Update Three:
1. Started to have some crazy issues shutting down the computer. The only thing that fixed it was unchecking the "nvda_drv=1" flag.
I tried using Darkwake option that I saw on some post, which said you should couple with "nvda_drv=1" flag, but it didn't work.
2. I also started having some really bad problems with my magic mouse which is connected over bluetooth, the fix was to uncheck the USBfix, which Tony had in his config.plist file.
3. At that point I was ready to get this machine to self boot without the usb, I installed Tony's legacy package, rebooted and got the "boot0af: error" which seemed logical to me (drive was using the GUID partition scheme). I reformatted the drive in MBR, and at that moment I remembered (because of the installer error message), you can't install OS X if the drive isn't GUID
Problems/Questions:
System doesn't wake from sleep
How to get my sound to work? "888 Legacy"
With my HDD partitioned in GUID is that going to be a problem?
How can I get the system to boot without the USB;
also how can I get it to boot automatically without having to select the HDD.
This is the furthest I got using Clover, I'm going to keep going slowly. I have no exceptions, I still got I fully working Yosemite
partition using climara on another drive.
In closing - - I love all you guys, you guys are amazing.
