Hi everyone!
First, thanks to
@kgp for putting so much efforts on maintaining this project. I carefully read every post.
I am currently running Sierra 10.12.6, everything works amazingly well, and it has been the case since May.
This last week-end I tried to upgrade my workstation to High Sierra, but I am facing a dead-end.
I have tried a variety of things, but I am not able to reach the High Sierra installer on first boot.
Console/text logs are displayed correctly, but when the installer start initializing the graphical user interface,
my GFX card stop sending the video signal and I am getting a black screen, unable to continue on the installation process.
I tried the following:
- nv_disable=1
- dart=0
- Disabling lilu.kext
- Using NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext
- A variety of clover flags
- Trying multiple monitor connections (HDMI, Display Port, DVI)
When using the
nv_disable=1 flag, I don't get a black screen, but the system is endlessly clearing the screen and displaying this message on the console, every 10 seconds:
com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.WindowServer) <Notice>: Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are my specs:
- USB 3.1 Type-C USB key, official High Sierra installer.
- ASUS X99 A-II (latest BIOS, patched)
- Intel i7 6900K
- Asus GTX 780 (3GB)
- 64GB RAM
I realize my GFX card is pretty old. On Sierra, I'm using AGPFix & Nvidia Web Drivers without any issues.
Thanks for your help!
