EFI will not be mounted after restart. It's NORMAL.

 

I don't know how you followed the guide, really... When you run HVT, the EFI is mounted, and you do everything before restart, then it's done, no need to mount again.

 

About audio, did you put the patched dsdt.aml in /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/ in step 16, and install AppleHDA in step 11.

 

 

I followed the guide exactly ... did both step 16 and step 11...

I'm happy that I've got up to this far...

 

I'll get some sleep and try a reinstall soon for the last time... I'll keep you posted...

 

THANK YOU

One last query

 

I cant get the audio to be working... Can you help me fix this...

 

 

 

Thank YOU once again for the invaluable support...

UPDATE...

 

 

I removed my USB and was almost out of hope . And rebooted without even making a BIOS boot enrty.

And I got this...

 

The Old Clover Bootloader Menu... I'm very much thankful ...

 

 

I tried a fresh install .Mounted the EFI using CC.

Imported the config.plist .

Created ths SMBIOS. Edited the ACPI

And exported it .

And still after reboot the EFI partition is not mounted. When I open Clover Configurator I get this...

 

I have tried it many times....

 

Please Help me fix this...

 

Thank YOU...

Download latest HVT again, run and install Clover UEFI. After that, do you see EFI partition mounted?

 

I tried the latest HVT. But still the EFI partition unmounts after reboot...The EFI partition doesn't show up in BIOS...

 

I will try a fresh installation and let you know...

 

Thank YOU...

I only installed the Clover UEFI from HVT tools and not the config as in the guide...

 

Should I install both ???

When you mount that EFI partition with CC, do you see /EFI/Microsoft and /EFI/Clover folders?

 

I think you could not install Clover UEFI right...

 

No I'm not seeing /EFI/Clover but I'm seeing /EFI/Microsoft...

SO I created the Clover folder..

 

I also noted that after restart the EFI partition once mounted is unmounted automatically...

 

Can you help me fix these...

 

Thanks

Mounting with Clover Configurator is correct.

 

So that EFI partition doesn't have /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.9 directory.

 

Do I need to create it...

 

Thanks...

Hi,

 

Sorry for the trouble again.

 

I'm stuck with the last step... After I remove the USB and reboot I no longer see Clover Boot Menu. I boot straight into Windows 8. I made the Boot entry like you said...

 

I didn't fully wipe my HDD in the begning. I just made a Partition for OSX . Is it because of that ???

 

And I have one more doubt. The EFI partition that you asked to copy all the kexts... I didnt see the EFI partition . SO I opened EFI via terminal . The path is now /Volumes/EFI... and not /EFI/..

 

 

I also tried Clover Configurator to mount EFI partition. But that partition doen't have this directory  /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.9 ....

SO I copied everything like you asked in this /Volumes/EFI/Clover/kexts/10.9...

 

How to open EFI partition...in the right way ???

 

Thank YOU...

It's Generate P States and Generate C States.... And did you IMPORT the config.plist in EFI partition?

 

 

About empty origin folder, did you do press F4 at step 9?

 

Sorry, if you have problems, it may be your own mistake, and I do not want to answer those questions like these...

I'm sorry for the noob questions...

 

Thank you...

Hi

 

I followed upto Step 12 successfully .

 

But in Step 13 Clover Configurator I'm not seeing - ACPI > GeneratePStates/CStates

 

And in Step 15 /EFI/Clover/ACPI/origin/ of my USB is empty ....

 

Please help me fix these...

 

Thak You...

I will ask in other threads and one day I'll install OS X Mavericks...

After creating SMBIOS, click Save As and save to /Extra folder of your Mac drive.

 

I tried to save in /Extra but it doesn't work...

Can you please help me to get internet working on my Dell 7537 VMware ... It has i7 so I hope there will be no issues

 

Here is The Ethernet Settings I tried using...

 

And here is my Ethernet modem IP and settings...

 

I have tried both Bridged and NAT in VMWARE and it doesn't work ...

 

PLEASE HELP...

 

Use a valid SMBIOS profile, that'll help. You also seem to be running SL 10.6.8 from a virtual machine...

 

I dont know the right way to do it... And after a lot of Googling I ended up with Chameleon Wizard.

 

I started selecting Macbook Pro 6,2

 

But after I choose a MaCbook Pro With i5,i7 and hit save it does not save...

Still the fields are blank ....

 

How to change The SMBios ? Please Help.

Find .app in internet, or search for other workaround with InstallESD.dmg. Restore InstallESD.dmg alone won't work.

 

I managed to run OS X Snow Leopard on my Desktop (Processor: Intel Core2Quad Q8200).. and got the internet working...

 

But in the Mac appstore I'm getting this error "OS X Mavericks requires a Core 2 Duo, Core i3,i5 or i7 "...

 

 

Is there a way to bypass the processor specification and download the app...???

 

Please help...

What are you installing? Did you do step 3a/3b?

 

 

I was doing step 3a for Mavericks. But I did not have a Mavericks app. So I restored a dmg to the partition.

 

I'm not able to connect to internet from VMware OSX so couldn't get the app. Is there some other way to get the app.

 

Please help...

After lot of effort I was able to see Clover Boot Screen ....

 

But I cannot see Install Mavericks

 

Is there something to be done with arguments ???

 

Please help...

If you're using Windows UEFI with GPT disk, just create new partition and install. Otherwise, reformat your drive.

 

MIne is GPT already . So I'm good to go.

 

 

Thanks pokenguyen...
