Update Directly to macOS High Sierra

[RedRasmus]

error - "com.apple.DiskManagement error 0."

I used the the Alternative Guide above since I have a hybrid drive; assuming that's the way to go since APFS isn't supported on hybrid drives yet. After I select the choose Boot macOS Install option from Clover it starts the installation at a black screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar and then reboots and automatically boots from 'MacOS Install' again. After about 15 mins, the progress bar hangs at 44 mins remaining and the High Sierra installer image appears with an error message that the operation could not be completed "com.apple.DiskManagement error 0."

I have read about this error in some Apple forums where people were able to get around it by unchecking "convert to APFS" - which is what I thought the terminal command does. Someone else said they manually updated their system's EFI.

I'm at a loss as to what to try, and have had to reinstall Sierra twice so far. Has anyone run into this with a hybrid drive. Is the install different somehow?

How to know if is installing propertly...

Edit: didn't work

Lilu.kext and Whatevergreen.kext in efi-clover-kexts-others? And add raddvi to clover boot flags.

Tryed with the kext and the flag. Now at least pass the half of the loading bar before turn grey, but doesn't boot.

CUDA is not working properly. Anyone manage installing it successfully?View attachment 281527

I think it's an issue with the Cuda Driver, on Nvidia's site they state that 9.0.197 is for 10.12

I got cuda acceleration to work by uninstalling 9.0.197 by delete the following (if present):

/System/Library/Extensions/CUDA.kext
/Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nvidia.CUDASoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/PreferencePanes/CUDA/Preferences.prefPane
/System/Library/StartupItems/CUDA/

And then I installed 8.0.90 which still nags you to update but it works... until they fix this

Yup, same thing; kind of a show stopper.

I found a solution to "Install MacOS" not showing up in Clover. You may need to revert the drive from "Core Storage".
(sudo diskutil cs revert <UUID>)

I did that and it showed up and I've got a successful install of High Sierra with APFS on my SSD.

Before getting to the Clover screen it is showing me some text about apfs.efi and in Clover itself it does not show me anymore the Apple drive graphics like it does with my windows partition. Also its called there internal hfs but its apfs actually... View attachment 281473View attachment 281474

I'm having the exact same issue. High Sierra works perfectly, but I'm not sure what is causing the Clover issue at startup.

so i did the update, i dont have ssd so filesystem is hfs+ (checked with ubuntu to confirm). Problem is that it wont boot now, i booted into recovery and disabled sip, executed the command to check and it was disabled (guessing the config was aplied after restart). my main problem is that i cant see the error at boot, i did used "dont reboot on kernel panic" but it shows some data that has no use to me. (no kext load info, some apple data and the apple link below).

is there a way to scroll up during the boot so i can check what went wrong??

Thanks bill0121. This resolved my issue of the "Install MacOs" not showing up in Clover.

Quick question..
I'm a little afraid of installing High Sierra so I would like to know if I create another partition and install OS X Sierra in this other partition, in case it doesn't work, would the first partition running my Sierra remain intact?
Another thing, would it convert the whole SSD into APFS?

thanks
