Make sure nv_disable=1 is disabled in config.plist

Disable nv_disable=1,it restart.

See post 2 in this thread for explanation on how to install.

What hardware do you have? (in case what is listed in your profile is not correct or old) Which SMBIOS are you using? Do you have Enable Nvidia Web in your config.plist?

If you are using an SMBIOS with a system definition of iMac 15,1 17,1 or Mac Pro 6,1 you are going to need the latest NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext and Lilu.kext or the AGDP patch.

I am not sure which build of High Sierra you have installed but you could also try adding NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext. This was key for me on the first build they released.

Do not install these kexts into the system. Just inject them from Clover EFI>EFI>Clover>kexts>other

If have you more than one display connected, just connect 1 to the HDMI or DP of the Nvidia card, also disable Onboard ie Internal Graphics in the BIOS. Make sure inject Intel is not selected in your plist.

1. SMBIOS is iMac18,3
2. I have installed latest NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext and Lilu.kext (inject by clover), also AGDP patch.
3. My system is High Sierra 17A405
4. I have integrated graphic (Intel HD630) and discrete graphic (Nvidia 1060), both connect to one display via DVI. It works in Sierra. But discrete graphic is broken on High Sierra

Still keep rebooting with message "IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0"

I have attach some diagnostic data, Please let me know if data is absent.

Thanks.

You have to remove the web drivers now to get back into OSX.

If you do not know how to remove the web drivers -

Boot up from your installer stick goto Utilities>Terminal


cd /Volumes/yourHSdiskname/System/Library/Extensions/

rm -R GeF*.*

cd /Volumes/yourHSdiskname/Library/Extensions/

rm -R GeF*.* NVDA*.*

Reboot

Once you get back into OSX find out which build of High Sierra you have.

What SMBIOS are you using? Which kexts are you using?

These instructions will remove system Nvidia bundles that ship with macOS.

Hey Gasol, I have the same issue after installing the latest web drivers. Did u found a solution?
SMBIOS 17,1; HS 17A405; Intel i7 7700k with disabled HD630; Nvidia 960 GTX.

Those were the instructions posted by Stork in the original thread. I just copied and pasted them. Originally my method of deleting the web drivers included booting another OSX version and accessing the HS drive and deleting only the Web based ones.The ones with "web" in the name. For me on version 17A365 with that driver release, you could also tell the difference because not only did they have web in the name, the Web driver kexts and or bundles in L/E or S/L/E on had a blue marking on them. The new ones do not have that.

That may be why some have been reporting being unable to boot in safe mode, missing the official bundles.

People have been reporting being unable to boot into safe mode after removing those? The only experience I had and posts I saw of not being able to boot into safe mode were when the web drivers had been installed and people were stuck at the gIOblahblah loop.

I guess I am getting a little defensive. XD

Ignore. It hasn't even started installing when that pops up.
