Administrators Hervé Posted August 5 Administrators Share Posted August 5 Released August 5th, 2024. Build 24A5309e. Smooth update on Hackintosh, as usual. OCLP root patching required afterwards, also as usual. Same Clover r5159 setup for my Dell Latitude E7270 as used with initial beta3 version and posted here. Post-install issue: As mentioned on other Hackintosh forums, after this update, the EFI partition hosting the bootloader setup no longer mounts properly using tools such a CloverConfigurator, OpenCoreConfigurator, etc. or the line command: sudo diskutil mount <disk id> where <disk id> is the disk reference of the EFI partition; for instance disk0s1. The command executes with apparent success but no EFI icon on the desktop and nothing in mounting point directory /Volumes/EFI which is just empty. admin@macbook-pro ~ % ls -la /Volumes/EFI total 2 drwx------@ 1 admin staff 0 Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 192 Aug 6 11:58 .. A workaround has been posted which consists of manually recreating the directory /Volume/EFI as a mounting point and then mount the EFI partition on it. This can be done as follows: 1) Identify EFI partition disk id: admin@macbook-pro ~ % sudo diskutil list /dev/disk0 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *240.1 GB disk0 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 <-- This is the EFI partition disk reference/id 2: Apple_APFS Container disk2 119.9 GB disk0s2 3: Apple_APFS Container disk1 120.0 GB disk0s3 [...] 2) If you've already attempted to mount the partition, unmount it, otherwise proceed directly to step #3 : admin@macbook-pro ~ % sudo diskutil unmount <disk id> (for instance disk0s1) This will remove the /Volumes/EFI mounting point. 3) Create EFI volume manually as mounting point: admin@macbook-pro ~ % sudo mkdir /Volumes/EFI 4) mount EFI partition on it: admin@macbook-pro ~ % sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/EFI Executing: /usr/bin/kmutil load -p /System/Library/Extensions/msdosfs.kext Your EFI partition will then be mounted and its disk icon will appear on the desktop. Something has clearly changed with this beta 5 update, I suspect something to do with security or Gatekeeper and the mounting tools and/or methods previously used now need to be updated for Sequoia. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallesWerken Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Hi Sir Hervé, this program is working fine and updated from GitHub coder chris1111 https://github.com/chris1111/Drop-EFI/releases/tag/V2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 7 Author Administrators Share Posted August 7 Yes, it's just one of those little packaged scripts from chris1111 which basically does what is described above after it was updated for Sequoia. Frankly, no need of a 25MB package to mount the EFI partition... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
