I am unable to update to 10.14.6. The update initiates the install and reboots the computer. Whether I choose the default option, Preboot or Install Mac OS the same thing happens--the progress bar completes and the computer screen goes black. This is a Dell monitor and the warning "Enter Power Saving Mode" flashes for a few seconds indicating no video signal. Then nothing, no disc activity. I have left it for an hour but clearly the computer is frozen.

The Combo update fails as well--it initiates then says it cannot be installed on this computer. I tried verbose mode but when the screen goes black there is no verbose text. The Clover version is 6920 and the Lilu/WE green kexts were updated for 10.14.5, the latest versions on this site it appears.

I attached my configp which no doubt has errors but has been very stable for me in a dual boot system--I use OSX extensively for Photoshop and other image processing programs. I would appreciate any guidance as I would like to keep Mojave up to date and put off Catalina as long as possible due to 32 bit program incompatibilities.

OCD pays off.
Restored from a clone, reupdated Clover, reupdated Lilu and Whatevergreen kexts.
Why that failed the first go round only the Clover Goddess knows but then the 10.5.6 update completed rapidly.
