How do I install kexts in /Library/Extensions ? If Set To "Yes" then Clover will Inject all kexts in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other regardless of any other condition, this can obviously cause problems if you have duplicate kexts in /Library/Extensions as these kexts will be loaded twice which can be especially problematic if you have different versions in the two locations.ħ. Note: It is also possible to set Clover -> System Parameters -> Inject Kexts to either "No" or "Yes", these values should be considered as debugging settings, if set to "No" then Clover will never Inject any kexts and thus you will be unable to run Recovery or any MacOS Updates.
KEXT UTILITY 2.6.6 UPDATE
If Clover does not 'detect' FakeSMC in /Library/Extensions or the MacOS Kernel Cache such as when booting Recovery or a MacOS update then Clover will inject all the kexts from the EFI/Clover/kexts/Other folder. With this setting, Clover will look for FakeSMC in /Library/Extensions or the MacOS Kernel Cache when you select/boot MacOS, if ' detected' Clover will not inject any kexts and leave MacOS to load all the 3rd party kexts (including FakeSMC) from /Library/Extensions (or the kernel cache) which is the preferred and recommended method for all the reasons stated in section 4. You need to set Clover -> System Parameters -> Inject Kexts to "Detect" How does Clover know to Inject kexts or Not ? you only need the absolute bare minimum to run the above packages.Ħ. Think very carefully about the kexts you actually need in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other.
KEXT UTILITY 2.6.6 DRIVER
Some users may need to add additional driver kexts in order to access 3rd party storage controllers or NAS based TimeMachine backups, laptop users may need to add a mouse or trackpad kext if they require mouse control when running Recovery. Most users will only need FakeSMC in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other in order to run all of the above packages.
KEXT UTILITY 2.6.6 FULL
Since none of the above are full MacOS operating systems it is not possible to install the kexts we need to run them so we use Clover to inject the critical kexts we need before running them. The main reason that Clover supports injecting kexts is to load critical kexts required to run the following :. If thats true why does Clover even have this feature ? Everything running in kernel memory (including kexts) is actively managed and monitored by MacOS.ĥ. In reality kext's installed in /L/E are loaded into MacOS's kernel memory which is 'protected' (IE: segregated) form application memory and execution memory. * Note: I use the term "protected MacOS memory" in this guide as a generic descriptive term. If you purchase a piece of hardware that requires the installation of a manufactures MacOS driver, the kexts will be installed in /Library/Extensions so why treat hackingtosh kexts any different ? Installing kexts in /Library/Extensions is the Apple endorsed and recommended location for all 3rd Party kexts.Injected Kexts are not included in the kernel cache and thus are excluded form MacOS error checking.Many 3rd party kexts will not work correctly when injected by Clover.Injecting a large amount of kexts can result in an unstable system.Injected Kexts live outside of "protected MacOS memory" *.Why should I use /Library/Extensions over Clover Injected kexts ?Ĭontrary to Hackintosh myth, having Clover inject all the 3rd party kexts does not result in a cleaner install, in fact the exact opposite is true.

It seems that many users are under the impression that you can simply copy all 3rd Party Kexts into EFI/Clover/kexts/Other and allow Clover to Inject the kexts by setting Clover -> System Parameters -> Inject Kexts to "Yes" which will result in a maintenance free and more native MacOS install.Ĥ. Warning: you can not simply use Finder to copy kexts into /L/E (see Section 7 below) You should install all 3rd Party kexts (including FakeSMC) to /Library/Extensions (/L/E) Note: If you are using VirtualSMC in place of FakeSMC then you should replace all instances of FakeSMC mentioned in this guide with the Lilu and VirtualSMC kexts, additionally some users have reported that it is necessary to use LiluFriend to load VirtualSMC early enough in the boot process - see posts #7 to #13 for more info.Ģ.
