I have Clover booting Yosemite on my Dell T3500 that I installed with Legacy boot options.
The issue I noticed is that, using Clover Configurator to install some themes, I could never get the theme to load on boot.
Looking further into it, I found that in my EFI partition I had none of the folder I needed to boot. Strange. All I had was APPLE > EXTENSIONS > Firmware.scap
I found an EFI folder in the root of my Yosemite drive which did have all the required files to boot. It was home to my config.plist, my DSDT file, etc. "Hmmm" I thought.
I followed some instructions to reformat the EFI partition, copied over some files from the EFI folder, tried changing the theme again, changed the EFI folder to another name, rebooted and... still no theme change.
Now, I'm a little lost and confused - does it mean that I don't have to actually have anything in my EFI partition in order to boot? How could I have been booting with Clover when I didn't have the correct files in the right folders? Is the Clover in my EFI just passing on it's duties to the Yosemite partition which seems to have Clover installed also?
I'm a little scared to delete the EFI folder on my Yosemite partition in case I won't be able to boot anymore.
Can any Clover pros give me a little guidance here? Normally I'm all about "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" but I feel that the setup I have is a little wrong, and also I'd like to play around with my SMBIOS and DSDT files to get the holy grail of power management working. It seems that everytime I make changes to some of the settings in the Clover bootloader, nothing seems to change...
Cheers, Droz
