[Solved] Please help! upgrade stuck at "MACH reboot", main pc went brick

[Pepperish]

Looks from #14 you have your EFI partition mounted in Ubuntu? F2 at the Clover boot menu saves the preboot.log to /efi/clover/misc/preboot.log, please upload this file and current config.plist.

edit: from Clover menu press F2 then boot os x, to save the correct bootlog

thanks for your attention!

the preboot#1 is when i did my first attempt.
the preboot#2 is the current one with:

• NullCPUPowermanagement.kext added to the kexts/Other
• in kexts/ i deleted everything and left only one folder "other"
• changed in config.plist CsrActiveConfig from 3FF to 67

and on the current boot it gives again same error "MACH ..Reboot"

2 things I would not do with CLOVER editing that could still cause you the problem

1. Making CsrActiveConfig = 0x3FF instead of 0x67
2. Keeping all the numbered folders (10.6 to 10.13) in CLOVER/kexts [All you need is CLOVER/Other with required kexts inside. You should Send to trash all the numbered folders which can interfere with kext installation from Other folder]

What you cannot do is a full edit of all menus of ACPI .

See if changing 1 and 2 above can help you with the boot.

bro i did both of them, and still no luck

In addition to the 2 I'd suggested previously, you can try the following :

• Boot to CBM screen
• Navigate to Options>ACPI > Drop_ OEM_ DSM
• Click [√] all boxes
• Now try booting in verbose.
• Upload image of problem boot screen

hmm the error message is just like before, i have uploaded that error screen in my earlier posts

 

[vulgo]

Attached config.plist, added debug=0x100 boot flag

NullCPUPowermanagement.kext added to the kexts/Other

You should remove this kext

in kexts/ i deleted everything and left only one folder "other"

Remove realtekALC.kext also. 10.12 named audio patches removed. Run toleda's cloverALC script later.

USB port limit patch updated with the 10.13 version from here - disabled until later. You can remove USBInjectAll if you want too, re-install later.

See if it will boot with above changes, from the entry menu (press space at Clover boot menu):

• Without caches
• Verbose
• Safe boot

Edit: also delete nvram.plist or reset from Clover UI

For your system NullCPUPM.kext is not really needed. See if removing that will let you boot.

Do you have NividiaGraphicsFixup.kext and Lilu kext in CLOVER/OTHER for your GTX-970?

Did you compare my kexts/Other from my 100 series GA -B150M-DS3H I had uploaded with your /Other?

Nope still no luck

• i have used your config.plist
• removed everything from kexts/Other, only a fakeSMC left
• rebooted with boot args: -v -f -x
• also clicked in the clover menu F11(?) i couldn't remember but it was something about NVRAM

i have removed the NULLCPU kext, also i have removed all the other kext but the fakeSMC as @vulgo suggested
still stuck at the exact same spot: "MACH Reboot"

Recovery terminal: Did you try originalmagneto's suggestion here? Removing non-Apple kexts from the boot disk /L/E and /S/L/E folders first may help. Any errors from the kextcache output?
