dpw95 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks Jake. Did as you advised, but still cannot boot to the installer. It appears to be dropping off at a different place now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted July 13, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2017 Try switching USB ports when that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpw95 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks Bronxteck. Trying with every USB port has been attempted, as noted in post 7. Good call out, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpw95 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Just tried, but it failed at the same spot unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 14, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2017 3rd times a charm. This should work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpw95 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Regrettably, it is remaining stubborn. I added the new EFI folder to the EFI partition of the USB drive, replacing the previous. Looked like the change observed this round was that the Clover menu only offered to boot from the installer itself. It looks to be dropping off in the same place.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 14, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2017 The new bootpack files/folders suppose to go into the Clover folder replacing the old files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpw95 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hi Jake, To confirm, I am using the EFI_4077.zip file. I am extracting it, creating an EFI folder, which contains a CLOVER sub-folder. I am then taking your updated E5520_A14.zip file, extracting it, and then moving its contents (the 2 config.plist files, ACPI folder & contents, and kexts folder & contents) to the aforementioned CLOVER sub-folder. I then am copying this EFI folder with all those files and folders within to the EFI partition of my USB installer, replacing the EFI folder that's already there. Is this not the desired or intended approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 14, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2017 Yup. that's the intend. I don't have an E5520, but the bootpack boots up on my E6420, both SandyBridge models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpw95 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Is it known whether the part of the boot process where this is stopping has something to do with SSDT/DSDT files? Or would the consideration be that this is purely something with the config.plist file's contents that needs to be addressed ultimately? Is there anything on my end I could do? Any value for me pressing F4 at the Clover screen to produce files to evaluate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
