Update Directly to macOS High Sierra

[superic]

I am having some issues with the installation. When I ran the "install High Sierra" App, it instantly get done and jumped to the restart page. Is this normal? Then when I boot the installation partition in clover, it is either stuck at "apple logo" screen or keep restarting forever.

Any help is appreciated.

I attached a screenshot of verbose mode result when trying to boot into install high Sierra.

congratulation!
and did you upgrade successfully?

Yes, It upgraded successfully with APFS converted.
FakeSMC is necessary, other kexts are not.
After upgraded, 4k patch to Intel HD4600 seems broken. And I disable the patch and re-enable it in clover config.plist, it works now. I dont know why

I have attached an image of the kernel panic screen I get when trying to install/upgrade High Sierra. To my eyes there is a serious lack of helpful information.
I initially tried the upgrade method, following the instructions in the first post to the letter.
When that failed I tried creating the USB installer, again following the instructions to the letter.
Both gave me the screen you see in the attachment.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I did install the latest Clover 4220
I did copy the files apfs.efi, fakeSMC.kext and NullCPUPowerManagement.kext to the correct destinations.View attachment 280965

The really annoying and frustrating thing is that I have been hacking my toshes for almost nine years flawlessly.

I have the same result with the same verbose boot screen.

Video issue.
First, thanks. The guide helped me get to 95%.
I have had this problem before, when I updated to 10.12
On boot, video freezes unless I use the fake graphics ID maneuver. Did I disturb the video kexts in Clover or library?
I thought I installed the latest Lilu and IntelGraphicsFixup, and FakeSMC. These are currently resident in the Clover Kexts/Other folder as well. Is that bad? I hope this is a familiar issue to someone.
Vanilla Skylake I3, Intel Graphics 530, was working. Thanks in advance!

Install went just fine for me. The audio alc130 patch did it for me, thx!
Unfortunately there is an USB problem left. If I connect any device like a mouse, keyboard or even USB sticks everything is just fine but my external USB HDD which is also my Time Machine Backup won't show up on any USB 3.0 port. 2.0 ports working. Makes no sense, any solutions?

Edit: Seems like every USB 3.0 device isn't working on USB 3.0 ports, all USB 2.0 devices are fine with every port.
