Hi! I will try to make a long story short.
1. Built my machine (Z97-HD3, Crucial MX200 500 Gb SSD, i5-4440, Kingston 128 Gb SSD (for Windows), 16 Gb RAM, IGP GPU 4600) and installed Yosemite, no problem, boot manager appeared and could choose from Yosemite or Windows without problems;
2. Upgraded to El Capitan. No problems again.
3. Sierra: problems began. Had to boot via USB, as the SSD would not boot (freezed on the Apple logo). Soon after, audio (ALC892) stopped working. Managed that with solutions presented here (an ALC command line correction). Occasionally, audio would disappear and I just had to repeat the correction & reboot to make it work again.
4. Tried to upgrade to High Sierra (Unibeast 8.1, Multibeast 10.1) using the direct upgrade. Had EXACTLY the same problems related above by hst51. Then tried the upgrade via USB, same thing.
5. Decided to make a clean install for High Sierra, in the hope that problems above would be corrected. Erased SSD and performed the clean install. It worked and I brought everything (apps and data) from TimeMachine backup.
6. Boot still does not work from SSD. Have to boot from Clorver on the USB. It boots, but screen flickers and, worse, except from system messages, all other apps (browsers - Safari not so bad, others impossible, etc) get impossible to use. Audio not working. Tried the correction suggested here, does not work.
It seems to me that corrections/kexts (Intel Graphics, Audio, etc) applied using Multibeast are not actually installed on the SSD disk. Where should they be?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
