I thought my HS 10.13.6 Hack on ASRock Z270 was stable. Running for about 3+ months on this release.
Then one day I couldn't login to it. It didn't recognize any of the Users' passwords. I have 2 admin accounts and one guest.
So Googled the problem, and found a suggestion that I delete the /var/db/.AppleSetupDone file and reboot, which causes re-initialization or re-setup of the OS. Worked fine. By the way iMessage was working on the system (is that a clue?).
A couple of days later, same problem re-occurred. No logins worked again. I never logout by the way, automatic login to my account turned on.
This time I re-installed from a Time Machine backup that was a week old. A couple of hours pass, and the logins get disabled again. That is NO login works. Safe Boot fails. Can't get into the system.
I tried a fresh install of the system, and then restore of the /Library/Extensions folders where all my Hachintosh kexts reside. A day passes and all the logins get shut off again.
WTF?
Sleep never worked on this ASRock Z270 Hack. I've put too much effort into this to give up now.
Is this an Apple security issue - they disable the OS if they think it is illegal? No message I've seen says that in the log files.
Is this indicative of a HW problem? I dual boot on this system to Windows 10, and it has been running flawlessly for 9 months, so I can't believe its a core HW problem. Could it be a problem on the SSD that contains the HS install? Naturally readers of this thread may say the source could be any of these problems; but I just want to point out that I've considered them.
Boo hoo.
Anyone any suggestions or ideas?
