Hang on boot v2.5-5098 about cloverbootloader HOT 6 CLOSED

Anyway debug log must be.

from cloverbootloader.

Earlier, I was not actually booting from the USB device. Now that I'm booting from the correct device, I have been re-performing testing with alternate configurations. Also, as a result of correcting this I now have a boot debug log.

Debug log shows what looks to be a functioning Clover. But I am still experiencing the hang after End RandomSeed ++++

debug.log

I searched Clover source code, trying to determine what exactly this step is doing (since I now know that the Clover boot debug log terminates prior to this step). I didn't find any answer (nor any documentation of the boot process), but think that this is the point where the bootloader has loaded the kernel and its extensions into memory and handed control over to the kernel. Because the hang appears to be instantaneous, I'm suspecting a memory address jump failure.

You may find the line "++++" in Clover sources.
After that Clover does DSDT, kext and kernel patches and jump to kernel.
For my experience there is no reason for wrong memory address to jump.
You may switch on kext patching debug and see the process on the screen then decide if the process hang or kernel hang.

I see you are using CsmVideoDxe.efi. Try to boot without it. It is poorly working with Intel Graphics.

This line is not good

16:734 0:022 Board-ID set from config as Mac-CENSORED

Thanks for your help, SergeySlice.

1. I manually censored that Board-ID line prior to upload -- it's a valid value in the real file
2. I removed the CsmVideoDxe.efi driver
3. Upgraded to 5100

Between 2 and 3, the machine finally boots. Still no sound (original reason for upgrade), but I have a functioning computer again.
