Installing clover bootloader4/22/2024 ![]() ![]() Article 1 has some reference to legacy installations but it’s not clear how to actually go about and do it. Both articles refer mainly to UEFI linux installations and the instructions are about how to do it if you have linux installed on UEFI environments. The boot loader (Clover) identifies the installation and displays an entry for it but it would not boot.Īfter searching around on the Internet, I found the above two articles and I tried to decipher the info. For some reason the legacy Manjaro installation would not boot from Clover. In my case, I have a Hackintosh PC (Sierra 10.12.6, mobo Gigabyte 990XA-UD3, CPU FX-6300, 8GB RAM, graphics card AMD Radeon HD6770 1GB replaced recently by Gigabyte Nvidia GT730 2BG because it’s metal compatible, disks with Windows 10, Windows 7, Ubuntu 20.04 as 2nd OS on the Windows 10 disk (UEFI) and 2 installeation of Manjaro Linux -1 on a separate SSD disk and 1 as 2nd system on the Windows 7 disk-) and I wanted to boot the Manjaro Linux system that is installed as a 2nd system on the Windows 7 disk which was partitioned as legacy disk (MBR partitioning) from Clover. You should be able to use a OS migrate-to-SSD utility to clone your existing Windows installation and boot from your NVMe drive.There are some interesting info on booting Linux from Clover (in case someone has a Hackintosh and other OSs on various disks) in these articles: article 1 and article 2 Restart and you should find your NVMe driver iterated as a boot device in UEFI. Let it whir and grind until the indicator light goes dark or quits blinking, whichever your manual says to do. You must use the flashback button tryna update the UEFI any other way will probably not work and/or raise an error. On my board, it's inside, next to the IO sockets, but yours might be adjacent to the external port. Insert the USB stick into the USB "flashback" port, and press the "flash" button. Power-down your system but do not remove power (i.e., unplug it). Save your UEFI/BIOS file to a small USB stick freshly-formatted as FAT32. Use the dialog to navigate to where NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs is saved, and insert it. Then look for "Volume Free Space." Go up one line, select it, and from the menu, choose "Insert After." The titlebar of the dialog should say "Select FFS file to insert". In short, open the UEFI/BIOS file with UEFITool, do a text search forĪnd choose an instance. ![]() The video could be clearer, both visually, and logically, and it took me a couple of tries to get it to work. You will need the UEFI/BIOS binary for your board, UEFITool.exe (the utility to patch it), and NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs, the driver. I've been running this for four days and it seems well-behaved and stable. Basically, it involves patching the UEFI with a generic NVMe driver. I was able to get my 10-year-old Asus M5A97_R2 mainboard to see my Samsung 980 NVMe drive using a hack I ran across on YouTube. In another try without Clover, I put the EFI partition in an old SATA HDD, and the Windows partition in the NVME drive, but Windows failed to boot with a blue screen saying that winload.efi is missing.īeta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback. So far, I downloaded and I wrote it in a fat32 USB stick, and it booted, but it just showed an Options etc menu, with no operating system entries, and the "S" key doesn't open a shell, so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do there. How can I configure Clover? Do I need to manually create a ist?. ![]()
