After the initial install I was able to boot in and everything was gravy.
When I started using multibeast to install drivers is where everything went to 'ell. Ultimately I was able to still boot in using the boot args "nv_disable=1" & "-disablegfxfirmware" (I still have no clue what -disablegfxfirmware is, if someone has any insight) & selecting "Remove all Clover Boot options." Still not sure what options these are and if they are indeed separate from Kexts/Boot Args. Haven't found much info on this specific item.
From there I discovered how to use clover configurator to make those boot args permanent. Following this path, I read that "nvda_drv=1" should be one of those. Later discovering that Sierra and High Sierra have a new way of enabling Nvidia drivers using multibeast. Haven't been able to get back in to change that yet.
Here's a video on the boot in verbose:
The only things that seem even vaguely like they might be the culprits are:
- com.apple.driver.KextExcludeList
- com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]
- com.insanelymac.driver.AppleIntelE1000e
One thing to add, I can't even boot into safe mode. I've read a little about changing Kexts in Single User Mode, but haven't tried to dig into that yet. I'm pretty close to just doing a reinstall, but would like to avoid if possible.
Again, no matter what I seem to do, I boot from my main drive and it loops continuously.
Help is much appreciated!!
