I've been running this build for the better part of a year without any major issues. I also have a HD dedicated to Windows 10 which predates the hackintosh. That windows drive was created years ago by bootcamp in a legit mac and I just moved it over when I built this one.
Last night I booted into Windows to download a steam game I wanted to be ready for this weekend. Overnight it rebooted itself (fuck this about windows 10) attempted to boot into Sierra which is the default. When I saw it this morning it was stuck at the white apple screen with an empty progress bar.
I tried a bunch of different things but it also wouldn't boot into the cloned backup Sierra drive I have or into the recovery partition. When I turned on the verbose flag I saw that it always stalled sometime after "MAC framework successfully initiated." It didn't always stop on the same line and there was no obvious error or panic that I could see.
I eventually came across this thread and I was able to boot after enabling the USB Clover options for Ownership and Injection.
My questions are 1) what would have caused this seemingly spontaneous change where I never had to enable those options before and 2) is there any drawback to making those options permanent through Clover Configurator?
P.S. This may be nothing but when the computer was trying to boot this morning it had a dualshock 4 controller plugged in via USB. I know my old Mac Pro had trouble booting when that was plugged in for some reason I never figured out. When I set those boot options I also unplugged that controller. I didn't have time to do further testing as I was already late for work so I don't know if that controller was part of the problem or not.
