Hi!

I have succeed install High Sierra in a new installation.
But if i try to change something on the config.plist like the time the clover menu appears from 3 seconds to 1 second, or if i change darkwake to 8, the system becomes unstable, sometimes don´t reboot.
Or craches after booting. Why???
I have a ga-z170x-g3, i5 and i have installed the High Sierra OS, like on the multibeast guide. All parameters on the ACPI session on the config.plist are active, is that possible. In the sierra version only some off them has active.
Help please if necessary i´ll install again and post the config.plist.
I Have installed on APFS.

Clean installation (again), installation of MultiBeast v10, everything works correctly, Intel HD acceleration 530, network, sound, the file system is APFS.

Motherboard: MSI B150m Pro VDH
Processor: Intel Core i7-6700
Memory: 16 GB Ram 2133 DDR4
SSD: Kingston 240 GB APFS

Thanks to the tonymacx86 team.

Can I clone High Sierra from SSD to 2.5" hard disk with clonezilla?

Not if your SSD install is in APFS which it defaults to for an SSD. Clonezilla doesn't support APFS yet. Carbon Copy Cloner is the only game in town presently that will do what you want.

Are you sure your Intel CPU HW acceleration is running? I have Intel HD 530 CPU too, i'm working on this problem about 3 weeks without success. Still no Quick Sync HW suppport decoding in video. Can you test it with MacX Video Converter Pro? Trial is free, can you click on little "i" (info) icon to chceck it? I'm very interested about this because i don't know anobody with HD 530 has this video harware decoding in final cut and similar video app.
Here is great summary about Intel HD acceleration problem i find.
Thanks for feedback

Has anyone used Unibeast to get a working High Sierra on a legacy-only BIOS board?

I know my P7P55D-E-Pro (w/Marvell and J-Micron SATA controllers) is gettin' long in the tooth, but she runs Sierra flawlessly and I've just overcloked my i5-750 to 3.6GHz, so she's no slouch (EDIT: tried HS intall prior to overclocking).

Upgrading directly from Sierra, I got the dreaded "prohibited" sign when rebooting to the installer, with a -v error that the system was waiting for root device. As far as I can tell, that's related to either USB (I disabled USB 3.0 with no luck) or my SATA controllers.

From my reading, those with legacy-only BIOS's are out of luck with respect to High Sierra, but I am wondering if Unibeast has worked around this?

I made a UBS bootable key with unibeast 8.0 and MacOS High Sierra 10.13.1.

I can boot my hackintosh with the USB disk but when I try to update my SSD disk to 10.13.1, the installer refuse to make installation "on this Mac".

Any idea ?
Is unibeast 8.0 working with 10.13.1 ?

I have the same problem with Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3.

Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this?

I've tried to turn off APFS using the terminal command. When I run the command in terminal, it says it can't find the .xml file on any drive and will now exit? Does anyone have any idea what it might be? Thanks!

Solved this, I was running the command too early, before anything had been installed to target disk.
Also found it worked way better if I disabled all hard disks that weren't necessary (I think it was scanning them all, and took forever, seemed like it had failed)
