I've come a long way! But I'm having a Clover EFI boot issue vs Mac 10.8.0 on the hard drive. When I use Clover and attempt to boot the "MAC-OSX" partition on my drive, I get a BLACK SCREEN. No cursor. No activity whatsoever.
Some facts:
- HD is pure GPT
- Clover is installed and boots at \EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.efi
- Clover has no issue booting Windows 7 on the hard drive
- Clover immediately shows a black screen when choosing to boot Mac 10.8.0 on the hard drive (key issue)
- Clover also immediately shows a black screen when choosing to boot Mac unishit 10.8.0 USB stick
- MAC-OSX HD partition was installed and setup using unishit 10.8.0 USB stick.
- MAC-OSX HD partition can be booted by tapping F12, choosing Legacy USB boot to unishit 10.8.0 USB stick, and then targeting MAC-OSX HD partition. Thus, clearly this installation is bootable, just not when using Clover as the entry point.
- I rely on this unishit 10.8.0 USB drive to boot my mac environment. I'm trying to switch to Clover EFI.
- I can combo update to 10.8.4. Going to 10.8.5 breaks my wifi.
- I cannot jump straight to mavericks yet. When I boot the Clover EFI Mavericks USB, the install GUI doesn't show up (laptop reboots just before shown). To troubleshoot this I first need to have a working mac environment that doesn't rely on my USB stick so that I have a spare USB to make changes to
Honestly I have no idea how to proceed. I have googled for hours trying to find out how to troubleshoot but I've found nothing.
