Clover on USB stick #37

Open newkton1 opened 9 years ago

newkton1 commented 9 years ago

I use Clover legacy boot from a USB stick. When I run command, I get this message:

File: audio_cloverALC-110.command_v1.0c Password: EFI partition is not mounted Confirm Clover Legacy Install (y/n): y /Volumes/NewDisk/EFI/CLOVER not found No system files were changed To save a Copy of this Terminal session: Terminal/Shell/Export Text As ... logout

[Process completed]

Is there any workaround?

Where is the USB Clover EFI folder?

newkton1 commented 9 years ago

Thanks for replying so quickly toleda. The USB stick is named NewYeti and the path to the Clover EFI folder is: /Volumes/NewYeti/EFI/CLOVER/ NewYeti is disk5s2

OS X does not care what booter was used. It sees the booted system on /Volumes/NewDisk/. Why is Clover not installed to /Volumes/NewDisk/?

Because a lot of people like to keep the OXS HDD "clean" (it might be moved to a Mac sometimes for "service" and fixes—I had to do exactly this today with a friend's damaged SSD from a hackintosh), so the bootloader, injected non-Apple kexts, etc., are on a separate USB stick that manages the boot. This used to be a VERY common way of running Clover—I don't know if it still is. If you could build into the script some way to select the path to the volume containing /EFI/CLOVER, it would get round this "gotcha." If you can't, thanks anyhow for all you do for the community.

Your request has been added to the new features list, no commitments. In the meantime; install Clover in the EFI partition, run the script, copy the CLOVER folder to your USB and test. If successful, remove CLOVER folder from EFI or use it instead of the USB. Be advised, several codec specific files are installed in AppleHDA.kext meaning working audio always compromises a "clean" installation.

Thanks—hope you can find time and a means to code it. I'll try what you suggest in the meantime. Yes, I realize that AppleHDA.kext is going to get modified so I keep an original on hand for when/if the SSD had to be moved to a Mac for work.
