Spinning beach ball

[Glutier]

Hi folks!

I tried to install OSX 10.13 yesterday from a working 10.10.5 installation.
Clover works, but every time the installation stucks in the middle.

In verbose mode I get : "sound assertion in appleHDAdriver at line ...." 4 times then nothing and 5 to 10 minutes later I get a grey screen with a spinning beach ball. I tried with "nv_disable=1" and with the "-v-x-s-f cpus=1 nv_disable=1 -no-zp" combo but it doesn't work.

I even removed my Nvidia 770 card, but nothing changed.

My problem is : I can't roll back either nor boot from my recovery stick.
Only my windows 7 partition works...

My configuration is :
i5 3.4
8 GB Ram
SSD
Gygabite Z77N-WiFi
Geforce GTX 770
Profile : Imac13,2

Try booting into verbose+single user mode, delete nvidia web driver kexts under /Library/Extensions. Then reboot and see.

For 10.13 (HS), if you don't inject Nvidia (nor enable web driver) with Clover, it will boot directly using VESA mode. It seems "nv_disable=1" is not needed.

Ok thanks .

I tried and in single User it stucks with :

"Root device is mounted read-only"

I checked the root file system with : /sbin/fsck -fy
"The volume OSX Base System appears to be OK"

Then tried to mount it in read-write : /sbin/mount -uw /

"Device is write locked"

What do I have to do exactly in order to delete the nvidia web driver kexts under /Library/Extensions ?

Wait I boot from the installation drive (disk4s2) do I have to go to my initial volume ? (disk1s1)

Edit:

I checked my drives (ls -l /dev/disk*)and saw them all. But as I tried to go to another than disk4 (for example : /dev/disk1s1) I got a permission denied.

I can see all the Kext installed in disk4. Do I have to delete all with "NVDA*"
