Problem installing Clover to Hard Disk in Catalina
Hey guys, I’ve been searching the Internet for almost three hours, trying to find the solution to my problem and I’ve been unsuccessful.
I’ve successfully installed macOs Catalina Beta 4 on my computer via USB installer with clover r5018. The problem begins when I try to install Clover in my hard disk for booting without the USB. Catalina says that Clover installer is not compatible with the the OS because is trying to install on the System Partition.
The installer gives me the option to “install anyway” and I select it. The installation of Clover on my Hard Disk finishes and I put in the installation folder all the kexts and config files, but when I try to boot the PC, it doesn’t boot at all from that clover installation, it’s like if Catalina is preventing Clover to mark the Efi partition as bootable. My board’s boot menu doesn’t see that Efi partition as bootable.
I already tried to mount Catalina System Partition as writable with Hackingtool (thanks to that I was able to add fixes to my monitor) and then repeat the process of installing clover with System Partition mounted as writable, but the clover installation package gives the same error (Not compatible with Catalina ‘cause is trying to install on System Partition) and after installation, the boot meny of my computer doesn’t recognise that Efi partition as bootable.
Does anyone has had this problem?
What can I do to successfully install Clover on my hard disk in Catalina?
Thanks in advance.

Clover Hdd Boot Doesn’t Show

I installed Sierra using clover uefi method, installed smoothly without any problem. When the installer finished, restarting my laptop and come into boot menu, clover didn’t list my internal drive partition I just installed, onlly show usb partition for the installer.
I’m using latest clover installer for usb install and check on bios my internal hdd still there, the only problem is clover didn’t adding it into boot menu.

Same issue here.
My NVMe SSD is listed but the SATA SSD (where I installed MacOS on) not. After booting the installer, that SSD is detected fine. Just Clover does not. Additionally I saw that the EFI partition has a strange format. I cannot access it on Windows with diskpart but on MacOS installer I can.
EliteBook 820 G3
i5-6200
SanDisk SSD on SATA
Samsung SSD on NVMe

Actually I just miss understanding, there’s no problem regarding clover boot listing my internal hard drive. It mention here at post #2 :
The difference installation process on 10.12
There’s two phase of installation, first one the installer will verifying and copy installer files into internal drive for next step of installation, this happen because I use ‘createinstall media’ method.
The second need to boot again on installation drive, this time installation process will continue to complete the installation process.

[Solved] After Installation, Clover Boot Screen Doesn’t Show Mojave Disk

if you install the latest clover build, you can install ApfsDriverLoader.efi, it’s part of the installer.
so for the record, you need to be on the latest version of clover and you need either apfsdriverloader.efi or apfs.efi in your
CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/ folder, once install is complete, you will need to copy them over to your hard drive EFI folder.

Thanks Flexrac for the remark and the link: indeed APFS is since Mojave mandatory and not ‘optional’ as it was with High Sierra upgrade! I forgot I was still on HFS+ and did not understand why this time after the completed upgrade to Mojave there was no trace of the Mojave partition at the clover boot screen. As a Plan B, I created an USB installer by following the guide, but this USB did not boot or appear at all either, at startup, for the same reason.
In fact I had another issue that required some hours of searching at the TonyMacx86 fora. I worked with the EFI folder on my hard drive with Sierra and High Sierra, and not with the EFI partition. Apparently, with the upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave, the boot was now performed from EFI partition. Since this was empty, there was no boot or Clover screen at all at start-up. Took me some time to understand, and find, that EFI partition.
Also copying my existing EFI folder to EFI partition was not enough; in another topic I learned I needed to install the latest Clover AND check in the install options of Clover to also install in the EFI partition (this applies for the USB Mojave installer, as well as for the Mojave install USB).

OS X Installation not showing on clover
hitmanpt
Hi, I have OS X El Capitan for a while now, but for the last week I’ve been using Windows to program my website (Visual Studio was needed)
Now I was returning to OS X booted fine, installed Voodoo 2.8.8 and deleted AppleHDADisabler.kext as I saw In a tutorial to install audio in my laptop. Finder crashed, I was unable to start any app so I forced shutdown the computer. Now it does not show on Clover Boot Manager.
I’m able to boot fine into Windows and the partition where OS X is installed seems fine (with MacDrive for windows I’m able to explorer the whole drive)
I’m using UEFI boot manager the disk it’s GUID Partition Table
The windows partition it’s in the same disk that the OS X partition.
Any ideas?

It has important dual-boot info regarding use of efibootmgr or renaming bootmgfw.efi.

I have no problems with Clover, Clover it’s showing up correctly but only shows my Windows Installation, no longer shows my OS X Installation
I did nothing to the clover configuration
So in resume
Before the problem
Power ON
—> Boot MGR (Clover)
Boot Options (Windows 10 and OS X El Capitan)
—-> Boot OS X El Capitan (Booted)
—-> Boot Windows 10 (Booted)
After the problem
Power ON
—> Boot MGR (Clover)
Boot Options (Windows 10)
—-> Boot Windows 10 (Booted)
NOTE: Booted means that I can load the OS correctly
