- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Boot with
-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100to identify the exact kernel panic. - Validate your config.plist using ocvalidate.
- Ensure your EFI matches the Dortania guide specifications for your CPU generation.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.
Original Question:
I'm trying to test an OpenCore config on a working Clover installation before switching.
First, I created an Open Core EFI folder with the right configuration for my hardware, following the installation guide https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/clover-conversion/, and copied to the EFI partition to an empty USB. Then, I selected the USB as boot device from the BIOS.
I'm then greeted from the OpenCore boot menu with only 2 entries (I have one ssd with macOs and one with Windows)
> EFI
> Windows
selecting Windows I can correctly boot into it, but selecting EFI brings me to a Clover boot menu (?) with the same version that I have on my main drive (5142) and only Windows as options (no MacOS again).
What am I doing wrong?
