I've been searching around for a fix and I keep finding similar issues but none of the fixes have worked. I've been running Mavericks for quite some time and was unable to get my sound working. I figured it was time to start upgrading my system and attempt to get my sound back by starting from new. I bought the current recommended 860 EVO SSD and figured I'd get up to date as best I could. I found out that my system is too old for Mojave so I opted for High Sierra.
After creating my install usb, I installed and my SSD was converted to the APFS file system. When I tried to boot from the drive it would just freeze so I did some research and saw some threads about APFS not being the way to go yet (and thought maybe this was my issue) so I erased my SSD, reformatted, and installed using the No Convert script. I can boot from my USB drive just fine without any issues but when I unplug the drive and try to boot from the SSD it's sticking at the apple logo with the progress bar appearing but never filling.
I tried copying the USB EFI to my SSD's EFI partition and it still froze at the apple logo with the bar. I've tried adding VBoxHfs-64.efi and AptioMemoryFix-64.efi using Clover Configurator but neither seems to do anything for me. Other than the new SSD, all my hardware is from the recommended customac series 6. I used legacy both when creating my usb installer and when doing post installation with multibeast.
Attached are 2 different attempts in verbose mode where it got stuck. Should I revert to Sierra instead of High Sierra? Trying to figure out the latest that I can run without many issues on my older system. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
