gridrunner:
Thanks a ton for your work. I've been able to get Xcode installed on 10.12.2 which is my bare minimum to compile what I need for my work, so now I don't have to use my underspecced MacBook Air anymore.
I have one issue (which I can easily rollback with a qemu snapshot, but I still want to resolve): I'm trying to update Clover to maybe get FileVault2 working (since that's something supported later than the version you give us in your "sierra kvm unraid" folder.) I downloaded the latest clover pkg installer, hit continue up until I could hit "customize", then I set the settings per the image below (only checking "Install for UEFI booting only" and "Install Clover in the ESP".
Everything seems to boot fine, the bootloader shows the new version number (3961), but now lots of things are in "slow motion". For example, if I right click the desktop and then unclick the context menu, it fades out veeeeeery slowly. Most transition effects like that are unbearably slow. Not sure how else to describe it.
In advance of questions, I used kdiff3 to compare the EFI partition contents to the "EFI" folder you give us in your "sierra kvm unraid" package to show the difference. Below is the diff of file contents (+ for added, - for removed, U for updated):
+ EFI/CLOVER/drivers32/FSInject-32.efi
+ EFI/CLOVER/drivers32/Ps2MouseAbsolutePointerDxe-32.efi
+ EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/AppleImageCodec-64.efi
+ EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/AppleKeyAggregator-64.efi
+ EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/AppleUITheme-64.efi
U EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/DataHubDxe-64.efi
+ EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/FirmwareVolume-64.efi
U EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/FSInject-64.efi
U EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/OsxFatBinaryDrv-64.efi
+ EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/SMCHelper-64.efi
U EFI/CLOVER/tools/bdmesg.efi
U EFI/CLOVER/tools/Shell64U.efi
U EFI/CLOVER/CLOVERX64.efi
Did I do something wrong? Can I roll back one or remove some of those files (since I am assuming maybe you had a special patched version in your pack)? Is this a known issue in r3961?
Is there more information I can provide to help diagnose this? My XML file hasn't changed, but perhaps there's a Clover or macOS bootlog that I can provide a before and after copy of?
Has anyone successfully updated Clover to a newer version than what's in the "sierra kvm unraid" EFI folder?
Thanks again!
EDIT: I guess one more thing; I'm only using VNC to use the system at this point, so no unique hardware constraints AFAIK.
EDIT2: Following the rabbit hole of this thread, still no luck though. I did notice if I untoggle the QEMU setting under Clover Configurator -> CPU that the machine now runs at super speed (unusable) instead of slow motion (slightly usable), so the issue must be related.
