I'm having an issue I'm hoping someone can help out with;
I'm following the guide almost exactly (See below re formatting as APFS);
Haswell-E X99 system. 1080Ti GPU. Asus X99 Pro / USB 3.1 Mobo. Has been running Sierra fine.
I've created a USB 3.0 drive that boots into the installer fine. I have formatted my system partition as APFS and installed a clean copy of Clover, along with my working EFI folder to it.
I go through the 2 initial reboots, and High Sierra seemingly installs fine onto my system drive. However, the third reboot - whereby you should boot off your system drive for the first time hangs at the +++++++.
I haven't been able to get past this step. Anyone encountered and resolved this?
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I've now tried this using an HFS+ formatted drive with the same result. I can install, but it always fails with the final step.

Did you anyway worked with SIPs? 0x0 / 0x30 etc?I used my old ATI HD6870 to boot and clean install 10.13, installed Nvidia Webdrivers, Ran AGDPfix.app, installed Lilu and NividiaGraphicsFixup in Clover other folder, used KextBeast to install NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext to L/E, Ran Kext Utility to fix permissions. Rebooted and verified working with GTX 1050. Then ran High Sierra Supplemental Update, rebooted to osInstall and let it finish. Pulled out GTX 1050 and again booted with ATI HD6870. Upon reboot Nvidia prompted to update web drivers, ran the update and ran Kext Utility before reboot. Swapped video cards, fired it up, and boom, good to go!
Edit: I can only boot with 1 monitor plugged in, otherwise black screen. Once it's booted I can plug in the second monitor, but it says 24 bit color, don't know if that's a issue... I'll be looking into this if you have any suggestions? View attachment 283810
Can anyone help out with this?
I've since tried booting the recovery partition from my main system drive too - which started to boot much farther - but ended on a couple of lines that might be interesting;
Code:considerRebuildOfPrelinkedKernel com.apple.driver.AppleIntelMCEReporter triggered rebuild kextd stall[0], (240s): 'AppleACPICPU'.
In any case - i'm stuck. Should I go and buy a 3.1 drive even though I get the install mostly complete? Is something else causing the issue?
@mikjess : I had the same problem until I switched to the USB 3.1 port on my MB for the install.
So, I've figured out my problem and managed to progress a little further;
For the EFI setup on my SYSTEM PARTITION - I had to re-enabled KernelPm and the xpcm_idle patch. Once I did this - the system partition booted to complete the install process. I'm not sure why this is, but @kgp this might be worth mentioning. Maybe I missed it in the guide?
I'm not sure what consequences this will have for me going through the rest of the post install process, but we'll see.
Thank you for the reply but I am using the USB 3.1 port, with a USB 3.1 drive (paid $$$ for this just for this guide...)
Could it be the video card? My mobo doesn't have built in video.
Don't make me responsible for your inability to follow my instructions .... If you want to have 100% compatibility with my guide, change your components!
Thanks, KGP
