My issue was that I was getting a panic from a 2015 AppleIntelE1000e.kext hiding in my /library/extensions directory. I removed that and upgraded the one in /system/library/extensions and everything went great.

Hardest part was reviewing frame by frame the verbose mode video i made to determine were the panic was coming from. Lesson learned for sure. I also recommend the Nvidia clean recommended in the high-sierra upgrade notes on this site. That at least eliminates another known point of potential failure in high-sierra upgrades.

Working great now, but I am now strongly considering buying a real mac

Nah, what I am I saying, this is too much fun!

Nvidia clean?

Can you elaborate on the steps? Do you think this will solve the glitchiness, slowness to load (everything)?

You may have an old AppleIntelE1000e.kext sitting somewhere. Check your clover extensions, check /library/extensions and /system/library/extensions. I had one loading from 2015 breaking my build.

Nvidia clean?

Yep. All good now. My iPhone video of my verbose boot saved the day. Scanned the video frame-by-frame and found the ethernet driver was throwing the panic.

Hi Scambler77.

I am booting into a black screen after updated my nvidia driver. I tried your method:
1. remove the Nvidia driver according to the method in this post:

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...er-on-high-sierra-black-screen-panics.234390/

2. updated to the latest clover and removed OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi and EmuVariableUefi-64.efi. Then I install the new "OsxAptioFix3Drv-64.efi".

(Credit to Scrambler77 in this post: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/macos-10-13-3-update.243852/page-10)

3. Restart

However this doesnt fix my issue. Did I do anything wrong?

I had be using the OsxAptioFix2Drv-64 for years now and had 1 in 10 boots end up with the denied symbol. Reverted to OsxAptioFixDrv-64 and have not had a problem since. What does the OsxAptioFix3Drv-64 have to offer and how stable is it? Also I have the latest Clover Configurator and do not see the option form enabling OsxAptiofix3Drv-64. Where do you get it?

My normal procedure, prior to installation a point-release update like this, is to:

1) Do a git stash/pull on the Probook.git repo
2) Do a fresh download of Rehabman's software
3) Install the udpate; this usually take like 40 minutes, or so
4) Upon reboot, I'll login, noticing that WiFi again is unrecognized
(this is corrected with the brcm patch and Lilu)
5) 10.13.3 patch introduced a new wrinkle: random reboots after a brief time post-login at desktop
6) Booting into single user mode (-s option in Clover), I mount the drive writeable /sbin/mount -uw /,
and change the repo directory; in my case, Users/xxxx/Downloads/projects/Probook.git
7) From there I run Rehabman's installer script ./install_downloads (it bombs on trying to copy HP fan
control to the EFI partition; this is to be expected).
8) If this doesn't correct the problem, and I'm seeing random reboots, or Wifi is still broken, I go back into
single user mode, and run the following: sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -boot -u /
9) Once the foregoing completes, and I'm booted into macOS, I run the commands again--reinstalling the downloads
and updating the bootcache.

I've had no random reboots since this morning, and the laptop has been on all day. Haven't tried sleep, because it usually won't wake, instead just shutting down.
