Hi.
I am running this hackintosh since 10.8. and once I got the hang on clover, never run into problems with major upgrades. Until now.
On my first try with the installation, I put FakeSMC into /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.13, which did not work.
I found https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/update-directly-to-macos-high-sierra.232707/ and learnt to put it into /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other and put apfs.efi into /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI

Now booting (in verbose mode) runs a while but in the end, I am stuck at

Com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.WindowServer) Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.

with a timestamp in front which, obviously, refreshes every 10 seconds. thats it. nothing else happens.
Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: tried it with multiple clover releases, actual one is 4297
 
Same thing here...
Same Motherboard,
Same problems.

I had to drop the MATS table (ACPI > DropTables) to get the High Sierra installer to run and to boot after installation on my GA-Z77X-UP5 TH. You can do this in the Clover config.plist ([...] means there could be other entries before or after DropTables in the ACPI section):

<key>ACPI</key>
<dict>
[...]
<key>DropTables</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Signature</key>
<string>MATS</string>​
</dict>​
</array>​
[...]
</dict>

Hope this helps.

disable your onboard graphics from bios.

The CPU graphics are already disabled since I do not use them. Just to be sure, I checked it again. Thanks for the tip, but that was not the solution.

Hi bthall,
below is my complete config.plist I use. The MATS table drop is already included, but it does not help. Thanks for the tip.

  • I have the same MoBo but different CPU and Graphics as you can see from my Personal details, running macOS High Sierra with most the current Beta updates.
  • I'll try to help, if you can post with:
    • A list of ALL the chosen BIOS options OR images of BIOS screens showing your BIOS Options
  • CLOVER folder as a compressed file from the disk you cannot boot because of any issue, uploaded to this Forum.
  • The verbose boot screen image (NOT what you want to transcribe as part of your post after you have seen that screen) uploaded to this forum.
 
  • A list of ALL the chosen BIOS options OR images of BIOS screens showing your BIOS Options

The boot options are the same that worked with OSX 10.9 until 10.12. Could there be any that breaks with 10.13.?

  • The verbose boot screen image (NOT what you want to transcribe as part of your post after you have seen that screen) uploaded to this forum.

Sorry, but I do not understand. Do you want me to photograph the screen while it is booting?
 
UPDATE:

I tried again with Clover 4334 and the new installer for 10.13.2.
Now instead of one, there are two lines of Error when booting in verbose mode.

Code:
Com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.WindowServer) Service exited with abnormal code: 1
Com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.WindowServer) Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.

Does that ring a bell with anyone?
