Hi, i'm trying to boot my HPe ProLiant ML310e Gen8 V2 off of an M2. NVMe Drive. I am successful in the attempt of making a Clover BootLoader via BDU but i get a screen that says "6 _" when i boot from the USB Stick.

any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hello, I just want to share my experience here, if you want to use WD_BLACK SN850, first update firmware of the NVMe.
then it will go smoothly. without the update, NVMe will never appear in Clover/DUET menu.

@skyfire
I too got this on my screen from one of my machines and from my research i suspect it's something to do with boot 6 vs boot 7 i suspect it's actually meant to say boot 6 but the rest is chopped of the screen for some reason. i was lucky that on mine it went away after a minute or so. and as such i haven't really looked more into it. my guess is it's failing back to boot 6 and for some reason hanging in the process but i have no further info and have been unable to find any about this. we may have to go to the creators of clover about that one.

Hello!

I just wanted to post a BIG THANKS to @Nyctophilia, @Fernando, and @Sybliss. What an effort to keep this thread alive and helpful.

After looong trying, and two fatal Win10 corruptions, I got this working too! The "Clover way".
I will still have to study all plist file settings to speed this up, but the NVMe SSD nicely boots now too. :)
On an "old" (2013) Dell, yes. Like new. Thus environmentally conscious I am, indeed :)

The boot delay, currently, is still dramatic, as compared to my earlier SATA SSD boots. But I have freed that one up, and can use the larger NVMe SSD for speed-requiring things post booting.

Interesting (to me) is: For whatever reason, I now have it going like so with Clover:
- Dell logo for a long time
- then Intel booting something
- then after a long time Clover menu comes up, with 6 (six!) "options" for booting (but it looks like most are the same, as per name underneath)
- and then, when I've clicked (or now on auto) the right one of those buttons, then I yet get another menu, on blue background, with two large squares, asking me whether I want to boot my Win10 install on Volume 1, or on Volume 4?

I figured out the Volume 1 will boot the NVMe SSD, and Volume 4 the prior SATA SSD Win10 install. Funny thing is, Clover seems to have set this all up automatically, without my knowledge nor intent. It must have seen that I have two Win10 installations (at the time), and so decided to offer another (second) menu afterwards. LOL
Well, I don't know Win10 enough to say.

Now a SUB stick is sticking out where my legs are unfortunately, but yes, I have read some users' posts here how they managed to install Clover bootloader onto the SSD as well. I might give that a try as well at some later point.

I'm having an odd issue where the speed of my NVMe drive is MUCH faster when tested as a secondary drive when booted from the existing SATA/Win10 install vs now booting from the NVMe/Clover combo.. AS SSD score of 2300 vs 850. Anyone have an idea?

When I tried to boot from UEFI flash stick with Clover, I got a message: "The system found unauthorized changes on the firmware, operating system or UEFI drivers.
Press [N] to run the next boot device, or enter directly to BIOS Setup if there are no other devices installed.
Go to BIOS Setup > Advanced> Boot and change the current boot device into other secured boot devices"
Any suggestions? Motherboard Asus P8H77 - V with the latest BIOS from Asus 19.05

@tinky
thankyou and welcome to the forums,
the second blue menu is actually the windows 10 bootloader and it's auto detected the other windows installation you can actually remove the other option following this guide https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1487...up-windows.html

you can remove or hide the other clover boot options via the config.plist file.

the other logo''s before the clover boot i'm assuming are bios logo's you may wish to tweak some bios settings and see if you cant get it to pull up clover a little quicker.

@Konstantin
it sounds like you have not disabled secure boot in your bios.
please disable secure boot and try again.

@tinky

Are you booting clover from usb ? In your circumstance i highly recommend booting clover from your sata drive instead. This should avoid any conflict with usb booting. The internet dongle issue sounds alot like a windows 10 driver problem with that dongle. And if so is probably not really clover related.

@sibliss
My plan is, later, to boot ALL from NVMe SSD, like a few others here wrote (at least I understood it that way).
Otherwise, yes, boot Clover from my SATA SSD instead of the USB stick at my knees, is a great idea too (as long as the Clover boot partition will not occupy the whole SSD, just needs to be set up right).

If you meant that the WiFi USB issue results from booting Clover from a another USB, then that's sth I haven't even thought of. Great idea. I gonna find out.

The internet dongle has the right driver though (is as fresh as the dongle) and it is being recognized just fine when booting my other Win10 install still on the SATA SSD.
So now I suspect that your idea of a conflict when also booting Clover from a USB is Spot-On!

Please don't worry about me, I normally figure things out (even if it takes me three attempts like with Clover), hence why I chose tinky as username, lol.
You clearly have figured things out long before me, I am impressed! :)

I am of that age who still learned programming a processor deep down (was 6502, I believe I remember) in the early 80ies, and my teacher gave me full marks on auto because he said he "can't keep up with you" (he was primarly teaching math, back then teachers for "Informatics" were self-trained). Ah, the eighties was a time! First seeing the internet. How different. But today we're being stopped and annoyed with all sorts of permanent popups and auto videos, phew! Luckily, and thankfully, Win-Raid has none of that disturbing stuff. Yet. :)

@tinky

Ah yes I've been in the computer profession since the 90's myself. So am somewhat familiar with the processors you speak of replaced many in the 90's.

On a side note it is not possible to boot clover from the nvme as the nvme driver to allow the nvme to boot in the first place is part of clover.

the clover partition is only 200mb and can be placed at the start of your sata ssd and keep using your sata drive as normal.

One small note is you should back up the sata drive before you use the bdu to create the clover partition on the sata drive as the bdu will wipe the whole drive ..... however after clover partition is created it is perfectly safe to partition the rest of the drive and use it like normal. This is how I am currently using clover boot on my personal computer.

If you read the comments back a few pages I do mention how to hide boot entries and even how to install clover to a sata drive via the bdu options.

Good luck and happy modding.

@sibliss
Huh sorry I only now realized there is actually a BIG Thank you button. I used it now :)

"it is not possible to boot clover from the nvme as the nvme driver to allow the nvme to boot in the first place is part of clover." - Of course, how foolish I forgot that!

here is a side by side.. yes it is on a gen3 x1 bus but miles ahead of a SATA SSD "my 500gb 860 evo scored 1100"
