absint0o Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi there, I'm finally managed to install mac os x El Capitan on my E5420, everything is properly working but in the post installation i'm probably doing something wrong, i'm only able to access the OS booting from USB, if i take the USB off and boot from HD i get this message: can please someone help me resolve this situation? Thanks and regards!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2016 You need to install Clover to the HDD and copy the EFI/Clover files to the HDD'S EFI partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absint0o Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi Jake! I've done that, i run the EFI mounter and mount the EFI drive from the USB drive and from the HD, and copied the EFI/CLOVER folder from the EFI from the USB drive to EFI from the HD. But before that i installed the Clover as you can see in this picture below: there's an update always asking me to install about EFI firmware, it's something related with this problem? thanks!

Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2016 Try adding a boot option in the BIOS. Under boot option, create a new boot call whatever you like and point it to /EFI/Clover/Cloverx64.efi I was not able to get a similar model to run in UEFI mode, so I stick with Legacy.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted October 25, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 25, 2016 no the efi update has to do with your smbios. your smbios "bios version" needs updating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 25, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2016 In the BIOS, you need to set Boot List Option to Legacy since you're installing with Clover Legacy mode. In the terminal, check if you have corestorage diskutil cs list If yes, you'll need to revert it. Reboot and reinstall Clover according to your settings above, copy the clover files to the new EFI partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
