I decided to do a clean install after reading all the issues with this upgrade for Nvidia users.
Also I think that after many upgrades (since El Capitan I think) it was time for fresh install.
My hack was at 10.13.1 - could not make it to 10.13.2.
I downloaded the new installer (10.13.3) from the Apple store and created an install USB with Unibeast.
The install booted OK with the Nvidia card but failed during the install second boot.
I removed the Nvidia card and used the onboard vga (Intel 2500) to complete the installation.
After the installation I used the script webdriver.sh (see post
#444) to install the web driver 378.10.10.10.25.106.
Contrary to what I read before, I had to set nvd_drv=1 in my config.plist for the driver to load.
Next I downloaded and installed the clover build Clover UEFI Boot Mode v2.4k r4411 from Tonymac.
Finally I downloaded the AppleALC.kext and Lilu.kext from giithub/vit9696 for the sound and moved them
together with all the other kexts from the USB /EFI/Clover/Kext/Other to my HD /EFI/Clover/Kext/Other folder.
Everything is working great. Surprisingly this was one of my easiest installs.
