Error installing High Sierra on Fusion Drive

[yy0c]

I have solution for this problem. Start install update. After first reboot you have a kernel cache error. Reboot to recovery hd (need cp, mkdir, rm skill) or to working system (install OS to flash or external disk). You must put files from com.apple.boot.* folder to other. Your Boot OS X disk must look like:

Boot OS X

|_com.apple.boot.*

|_ Library -> Preferences -> SystemConfiguration -> com.apple.Boot.plist (key and sting about kernel cache in this plist must be deleted)
|_ System -> Library -> PrelinkedKernels -> prelinkedkernel
|_ usr -> standalone -> i386 -> EfiLoginUI -> Lucida13.efires, disk_passwordUI.efires, recoveryUI.efires, Lucida13White.efires, flag_picker.efires, recovery_user.efires, appleLogo.efires, guest_userUI.efires, sound.efires, battery.efires, loginui.efires, unknown_userUI.efires​

|_System

|_Library -> CoreServices -> .disk_label, .disk_label_2x, .disk_label.contentDetails, .root_uuid, PlatformSupport.plist, SystemVersion.plist, boot.efi​

After do this - reboot.

Cool! My problem is fixed.

Thank you @alenchev, for saving my day.

I have the same problem. After reading through several forums I think it is a Clover problem.
Hence I have opened a Clover ticket :
Direct update to high sierra does not function with fusion drives

Since three days the ticket is closed. I think it is fix in Clover version r4301 onwards.
However right now the newest precompiled version of Clover is still r4297. Hence we have to be patient for the next few days till version r43xx is available as precompiled binary.

I can confirm this has been fixed in later versions of Clover, I downloaded the non-official version of r4303 installed it, and FINALLY got 10.13.1 installed to my Fusion Drive

... I downloaded the non-official version of r4303 ...

Where did you find this version? Can you post a link please?

Slice posted it under the Clover General discussion on the InsanelyMac forum:

Apologies if this violates the rules of this forum, I figured I was safe as this pertains to Clover and the Clover website refers users to InsanelyMac for requests.

The waiting is over! A new official clover binary is available!

Thank you, I just ran into this issue

Was hoping I would hear back from the other members with success or failure using the new clover? Not sure if I want to update to 10.13.2 until I do?
