Bootloop while updating to 10.13.2 (LILU 1.2.0)

[papr]

Hi,

I installed the High Sierra update without updating Lilu and now I am stuck in a bootloop.

Which is the best way to fix this?

Thanks!

I am having the same issue, but I was able to find a random hack which will allow you to boot to the system GUI.

• In clover select the drive you want to boot
• Press SPACEBAR
• Select verbose mode -v
• Disable NVidia graphics driver nv_disable=1
• Enable single user mode -s
• Wait until the system boot to the shell prompt (you will see the whole boot sequence printing on screen debug log)
• Press CTRL+D => this should end logout the root user
• Wait a little (again you will see the whole boot sequence log)
• Your system should boot into the GUI, where you can login without the GPU acceleration.

At least this work for me. If this help, can you please let me know if the Lilu kext did the job? And provide a step by step guide how you resolve this? I am not sure if I have to only change the Lilu in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other folder or also somewhere else.

Thank you in advance

@papr, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard or Make/Model, CPU and Graphics Card.

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

Yeah, I had the similar boot loop/kernel panic issue on my Hackintosh (i5 6600, ASUS B150M PRO, 16GB DDR4 and GEFORCE GTX 1060) after direct update to 10.13.2. I used your instructions as mentioned and I was able to replace the Lilu.kext with the new one (1.2.1) in both Systems/Extensions folder and the CLOVER/kexts/Others folder as well. It has been fixed although I do have installed WhateverGreen.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixUp.kext again in the aforementioned folders for additional guarantee. Nonetheless, I was able to boot into my macOS installation and everything was fine for me. Including other drivers like audio, Ethernet.etc. I would urge you to try the same and see if it resolves it for your case as well.

Tried it and got the gIOScreenLockstate 3...

Probably I should simply do a clean install...

I added Lilu.kext, NVidiaGraphicsFixup.kext into

• /System/Library/Extensions/
• /Library/Extensions/

directories on the MacOS System Partition.


And Lilu.kext, NVidiaGraphicsFixup.kext, FakeSMC.kext into

• /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/

directory on the EFI partition.

This resolved my problems. I have also updated the NVidia drivers to newest version (released today) and my Hackintosh works perfectly fine again.

Thank you

This is the best piece of advice I've seen on this site in a couple of months. Thanks for posting these instructions for getting past the 'boot loop'.
