NVME not detected in High sierra


8 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I have a Patriot Hellfire nvme that I had working on Sierra with the hackrnvme kext, and by deleting IONVMEFmaily. Now, I installed High Sierra on a secondary drive, and when I boot into it, it doesnt detect the NVME drive. I thought there was native support for NVME now?

 

(using the latest clover, z97 pro wifi ac, 4790k, 4600 HD graphics, with a pcie x4 gen 3 card for the NVME, and a normal HDD with high sierra on it. High Sierra is only using fakesmc, usbinject, and the ethernet kext))

 

Update: Disk Utility sees it and shows it as mounted, but its not showing as mounted in finder

In finder preferences have you flagged external drive?

maybe osx sees it as external drive...

 

or you can try this (external icon fix)

IONVMeFamily

find

4885c074 07808b20 

replace

4885c066 90808b20 

 

in kextToPatch

Solved. It's weird, but apparently it was mounting it, but instead of calling it what it was called ("myNVnE") I had to click "Imac" under "devices" in finder, and it was there.

I heard High Sierra brings OOB support for NVME SSDs, i.e. no kexts required. However I was wondering is Clover able to boot off an NVME? Can't find the answer anywhere, thanks.

yes, it clover can boot into an NVME. The only thing i cant do is install updates to the NVME

Is that right? I have ordered a NVMe SM961 this week. How to update the installation to 10.13.1 with my NVMe drive than?

I have a similar problem. I’m attempting a clean install of High Sierra on a Samsung PM951 NVMe 1TB drive which I used without issue for a 10.12 installation (with Rehabman’s patches).

 

Using the create install media method, when I get to disk utility the drive is greyed out (unmounted) and identified as disk0s1. Attempting to format, it fails reporting insufficient disk space. I then tried again having already formatted the drive to HFS+ and although the drive shows as mounted, the result is the same. Disk utility sees it as the correct size and PCIe under the info tab.

 

I’m using Clover 4233 and have APFS.efi in the drivers.

 

Any suggestions much appreciated.
