And here’s a crappy video I made that shows the default options I’m seeing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj7JG0TpXEA

Ah ha! It seems not that the keyboard and mouse stop working, but that the whole computer freezes. for about half a second, I can move the mouse, but then it stops moving and the clock never changes the minute.

Seems to be many people that can’t use keyboard/mouse once booted up. There is some config suggested here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/no-mouse-or-keyboard-on-clover-instal.174311/ that might work, if the exit type for Clover were to deliver the boot.efi and config.plist I think?

It seems like the default clover is set up for hackintosh booting. If we disable or fix some of these options, it may work without issue.

@george1421 Ok, bad news. Tested twice and then tested just letting the windows boot manager try by itself and when using clover default, my keyboard and mouse do not work in the laptop once it is booted to windows. Both times I booted from clover, I had to hold down power for 7s to get it to shut off. Afterword when booting without pxe, windows came up and worked fine without any issue.

@george1421 Absolutely. Though, i’m told that we need to return this demo laptop cause it doesn’t have enough ram and is missing the 2nd HDD. So it may be a few weeks before I have another laptop of this same model (I probably will turn it in Thursday and can do any testing before then).

@sebastian-roth HOLY CRAP. Just dropping the clover boot.efi in the place of refind.efi booted windows just fine!

@sebastian-roth Just to clarify, you think that other people are booting NVMe drives via rEFInd in working without needing to do extra stuff? If so, i’d LOVE to see what their config for refind.conf is… (I’d rather avoid trying to use clover too).

@sebastian-roth Just dropping the updated rEFInd files (conf and efi) gave me the default ocnfig file again (obviously). And it seems that rEFInd still hangs at “rEFInd - Initializing…” when trying to scan internal. If I do just hdbois, it has no problem (other than no boot entries). I did disable legacy boot prior to testing latest rEFInd. I did confirm windows still starts fine after disabling Begacy Boot options. I did cold boot in order to test.

I guess my next step is to try moving to working branch. I think I would LOVE it if I could figure out how to load that NVMe driver .efi that I got from the clover EFI loader… ATM, i’m trying to edit an efi file and inject it directly. But I don’t have the knowhow, lol.

@sebastian-roth I have dev-branch. I can definitely try working.

ReFind mentions using clover .efi for NVMe (if you search nvm a few times on this page: https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/drivers.html). What then would be the easiest way to add this .efi NVMe driver into the ReFind loader?

@sebastian-roth @Wayne-Workman Some other stuff I note:

1. In the host inventory, it has nothing listed for the Hard Disk Model/Firmware/Serial Number. Presumably because it is a NVMe hard drive? Can I do something to fix that?

2. I boot to the HP recovery partition by using the ReFind bios option: biosexternal. I then have the entry “Boot Legacy target SAMSUNG MZVLW256HEHP-000H1-S340NX1J727702”

From number two, I assume that since that is the ONLY option in the list besides About, shutdown, reboot, reboot to setup, that this biosexternal will not be a path to booting windows.

@sebastian-roth I played with the internal, external, hdbios, etc. options. I do still need to play with getting it to exclude that recovery partition. Maybe that’ll work.

I have had reFind boot the recovery partition with one of the options set… don’t recall which one. Think that has a chance of working?

@wayne-workman I’ve been through all options on legacy and EFI (change both to SANBOOT, both to exit, etc.) to no avail. Is there a debug way for me to see what exactly is failing? I wonder if it has to do with TPM or something? Or other? Iunno

@wayne-workman Everything still seems fine for this. Still can’t figure out how to mark as solved, but someone should do that if they can.

@wayne-workman I will do additional testing today and probably tomorrow then update this thread with results (i’m assuming that we’ll be good to mark solved at that point).

Will begin doing full power off instead of the 3 finger salute.

@wayne-workman The host is fully healthy after deployment, but I only have this one computer to test with for the next few weeks.

I have tried Host EFI Exit Type: “please select an option”, sanboot, exit, refind EFI, grub windows to no avail.

You can see from the below bios config output most everything that may be useful. I am booting EFI firmware. I have secure boot disabled. I have a TPM and it is set to available. I have tried disabling the Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) which did nothing and I have reverted to “Software Control”.

Booting to PXE works great. Imaging works fine (I get a warning about not being able to set the disk UUID after deployment, but that’s the only hiccup).
