![]() The purpose of this SD card is to boot Clover from there (so without USB stick) and then use the SSD for various operating systems (eg Windows 10). This adapter has an built-in SD card with 2 GB in addition to the installed Sabrent SSD. I have here an old Lenovo T400 with a ThinkMods NVME adapter. Since I have recently done successfully what you are trying to do, I might be able to guide you further. Since you have created a Clover key which - apparently - works, have you tried to insert an Ubuntu USB installation drive and see if Clover can recognize it ? I have also installed Windows 10 and Windows 11 on the NVMe SSD. This is what I did when I installed both Linux Mint (LMDE 4) and Kali Linux on my NVMe drive (which is linked to my MB through a PCIe adaptor). If i am wrong please tell me otherwise, thank you for your replies.Ĭlover can boot to an OS installed on a EXT4 partition (Linux) on a GPT NVMe drive. ![]() Can Clover also see ext4 on a gpt NVMe SSD drive? I would like to install ubuntu on my NVMe. I am disinterested in continuing becaue I’m under the impression that Clover can only see a NTFS drive. I tried the post at #596 but i did not try the post at #613. However, i could not get clover to see the SSD. So, i tried what Franzl_Lang said to do and it worked! i was able to boot into clover. Let me emphasize : Mojave unlike its predecissors requires APFS formatting of HDD. During Installation when you reach macOS Utilities screen and select your Disk Utility and then View > Show All Devicesinstead of the default Show Only Volumes and then click Erase with choices like : APFS, Scheme: GUID and Name (Your choice ), you should get a properly Partitioned (GUID) and Formatted (APFS) Disk with a Hidden EFI (formatted in FAT32) Partition created in it ready for Mojave installation in the next multi-phase step.DU from the launched USB Installer Disks.On what device were you creating EFI (USB or HDD) with Disk Utility?.So each time I have to reboot, I get slightly more frustrated Thank you Any help would be greatly appreciated!Īlso, I'm using a USB2.0 drive that was laying around the house and it is very slow to load Clover or boot into MacOS. I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere, but I have had zero luck finding a solution that exactly fits my situation. However, I don't want to further install applications until I get the system to boot from the SSD. MacOS automatically recognized my Wi-Fi card and many other features worked out of the box. So far my system has worked decently well. I've tried copying over the apfs kext and that didn't work either. The same issue occurred and no drives appeared. All files were copied over just as before and I did a reboot with the SSD. So, I then deleted my EFI partition on my SSD and then created another one using the MacOS Journaled file system to try and duplicate the USB drive (since the USB boots). Trying to use my context clues and lack of knowledge, I noticed that the USB drive was using the MacOS Journaled file system instead of APFS. When I went to boot into Clover from the SSD, no drives showed up. Originally the partition was created using APFS. I've even tried creating my own EFI partition in Disk Utility and copying over everything from my USB over to that partition. I've tried both Legacy & UEFI boot loaders. Multibeast creates an EFI Drive that automatically mounts itself on to my desktop, but when I reboot (with USB) it disappears. The only way to boot into my system is to use the USB. When I click one of those boot options (the duplicate ones), it brings me to the clover boot loader but does not show any drives to boot from. So now I have over 10 boot options with the same name and function (none of which work). When loading my boot manager (F12), I notice that each time I reboot it adds a duplicate boot option. I've followed multiple different tutorials on how to fix this as this seems like it is a fairly common issue on the internet. Once the install was complete, my next step was to make the system bootable without the USB. I am using a Samsung 960 Pro NVME SSD for my install. I did successfully install MacOS Mojave using a bootable USB made with Unibeast. I've now come back around to the idea of installing MacOS and have actually had a good bit of success so far, but still haven't quite figured it all out. However similar to now, I was unsuccessful and decided to install Windows 10 instead. A few years ago I built this Desktop with the intentions to install MacOS. Hello everyone!
