Update Directly to macOS Mojave

[mrht]

Hi, I updated but got stuck on a black screen when pressing "Boot macOS Install from Macintosh" any fixes? I have an inlet i7-4790K with Nvidia GTX 770. I ran macOS Sierra before updating.

Boot using USB flash drive, select your Sierra drive. Download the latest version of Clover, install with AptioMemoryFix-64 under UEFI Drivers checked. Reboot. You may need to run Install MacOS Mojave again.

On real Mac's, Apple has said you need to be using High Sierra 10.13.6 to update to Mojave.

"You can upgrade to macOS Mojave from OS X Mountain Lion or later on any of the following Mac models. Your Mac also needs at least 2GB of memory and 12.5GB of available storage space, or up to 18.5GB of storage space when upgrading from OS X Yosemite or earlier."

OK. I have a Mac Pro, so I thought that was universal. I stand (or sit) corrected.

I run the update but toward the end before final reboot got a message said " The bless tool was unable to set current boot disk". Anyone know what was the problem and how to fix it.Thanks.

There is an issue with being able to download the full 6.2Gb installer.

You need to be in the latest version of your current software or you get the 15mb installer linked to an internet connection.

I had Sierra 12.4 and got the 15mb version so I updated to 12.6 and then th security updates and then I downloaded the full version. Same goes for High Sierra.

Thoughts and prayers! Are you connected by Sata? Also multiple drives connected may also cause issues.

On a running system, is clover recently updated?

Hit space bar at clover screen select verbose and single user. If it gets to root# follow the prompts: mount -uw @2nd root# fsck -fy @3rd Root# exit.
