So, my upgrade on the Z370 went pretty seamlessly. But I followed the same process I identified in other system updates and am outlining here:
1. Made sure I'm updating from a Sata connected internal drive OR if I'm using a USB booting drive, I ONLY use a USB 2.0 port on my computer.
2. Using Clover 4586 and all the most updated drivers and kexts, in Clover Configurator, I unchecked nvda_drv=1 under Boot in Clover Configurator and set CsrActiveConfig=0x67 under RT Variables in Clover Configurator. Also in Clover Configurator, updated the USB patch (Thanks PMHeart!), Updated my 10GbE patch (Thanks to Mieze).
3. Optional: If you upgrade via the App Store and your system definition is not iMac Pro, and you have a 10GbE card: Disconnect the 10GBE card and connect the 1 GbE built-in card on your system.
4. Uninstalled the Nvidia drivers using Vulgo's brilliant script (webdriver) -> sudo ./webdriver.sh -r.
5. Optional but recommended step: Updated caches -> sudo kextcache -i /
6. Reboot
7. Ran installer from the Combo update. But you could do it from the App Store, I think. Let it do it's thing. One reboot I think. I actually didn't watch it that closely.
8. Installed the latest nVidia driver (link at the first post of this thread) which works great.
9. Reconnected 10GBE card.
10. Double checked that nvda_drv=1 was re-enabled, will re-adjust CsrActiveConfig later, so just one more reboot and....
Done.
I can say that this update is a bit of a nothingburger. It did virtually nothing for my system and I'm not bothering with this "update" on any of my other systems.
From here forward, I'm only focused on Mojave.
