Since then I've followed its development closely (along with its plug-in's) and now consider it to be one of the most essential tools in the Hackintosh community toolbox. This guide is written as a helping hand to those users who have some understanding of using legacy hackintosh methods but are considering using Lilu as a means to migrate to MacOS Mojave/Catalina or want to use Lilu in place of traditional/legacy MacOS patching methods.īefore we go any further I should state for the record that I have no direct affiliation with Lilu, my first encounter with it was in early 2017 when i needed to resolve an issue with the refresh rate of the 4K display on my laptop. if you are using OpenCore as your boot loader then the guide is still relevant however the formatting of the OpenCore ist is slightly different and some parameters may need to be added to NVRAM variables rather than as separate. Note : This guide was written when Clover was the boot loader of choice as such the ist examples in this guide are mostley Clover specific. Last Update: 22nd Jan 2021 (Add note about OpenCore ist modifications) Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's GuideĪn iDiot's Guide To Lilu and its Plug-in's If you have the correct settings, you will see the following in your boot.logĢ:931 0:006 EmuVariable InstallEmulation: EFI_ALREADY_STARTEDĢ:931 0:000 Searching for DefaultVolume 'EFI', DefaultLoader 'bootmgfw.efi'. The count down will be missing if it can't find the default boot volume & loader.įor UEFI booting, NTFS.efi should be placed in /EFI/Clover/ drivers64UEFI If UEFI Windows, you can use the same settings as I have - Default Loader = bootmgfw.efi Also make sure you have NTFS.efi in /EFI/Clover/drivers64. If legacy Windows, leave out the default loader and just type "System Reserved" in the default boot volume. When you want to boot OSX, press your boot menu key (For Gigabyte boards, this is F12, for Asus boards F8, F11 for MSI)->choose Clover to boot->boots into you have legacy Windows installed on an MBR drive or UEFI Windows on a GPT partitioned hard drive? Upload your Clover boot.log (in /Library/Logs/CloverEFI) and a screenshot of the boot section of your ist from Clover Configurator. A handy free windows program, EasyUEFI, also lets you change/set the default UEFI bootloader without having to go into your BIOS. Probably best to post your question in the Clover general discussion thread or where the developers are usually very helpful.Īs a workaround for those mostly using Windows, if you have a uefi BIOS, you can set bootmgfw.efi as your default bootloader in BIOS->boot Windows. I had the same problem as you in that Clover ignored the ist value and kept reverting to the OSX volume once it was booted.I tried with the IgnoreNVRAMboot ticked in Clover Configurator and specified default loader as the Windows bootmgfw.efi (as an alternative to specifying a default volume -refer boot options in Clover wiki)->Windows is selected but still need to press enter to boot. Startup pref pane (in System Preferences)>Last Booted Volume>Default Volume in ist. In the past, the choice of default boot option was given the following priorities: The IgnoreNVRAMboot option is a relatively new feature of Clover (from rev 2475 see this post at ProjectOSX) and may have some bugs.
