High Sierra+Enoch="can't perform kext scan: no kext summary"

[cl1k]

Attempting to install HS off USB installer (built in same way that worked with Sierra and El Capitan i.e. Enoch as boot loader + restore Base System, delete Packages alias, replace with Packages folder etc.), but getting this "can't perform kext scan: no kext summary" message, followed by "Attempting system restart...MACH Reboot".

 

Is there a known fix for this?

 

Maybe I missed a step putting the installer together (but I don't think so)

[cl1k]

Maybe there's a flag I should add to chameleon plist? Any thoughts?

The plist that I'm trying with HS, since it works with Sierra, looks like this:

 

<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>

<string>103</string>

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1920x1080x32</string>

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>HDAEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>BlackMode=Yes -f</string>

<key>Quiet Boot</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Default Partition</key>

<string>hd(1,2)</string>

<key>SMBIOS</key>

<string>/Extra/SMBios.plist</string>

<key>SystemType</key>

<string>1</string>

<key>USBBusFix</key>

<string>Yes</string>

 

The SMBIOS is iMac13,2

I' m using Enoch r2898 and have the same issue. I' can't install anything. Maybe I miss something..

I used Pandora and the same Extra folder I have on Sierra - smbios iMac 14.2

Hm. Honestly, I switched to Clover when High Sierra DP1 was released...

But if I recall correctly I got the same kernel panic if I'd boot Enoch with bootflag -f

High Sierra MBR and Firmware Check Patch 10.13.0

 

[PippoX0]

I wasn't able to install HS with Enoch. I have used instead Clover v.4210 and createinstallmedia USB.
However now which i have installed it on HDD and i put fakesmc in /S/L/E i am able to boot HS also from Enoch.

I have an MBR partitioned HDD and multiboot system (winXp, and any OSX from Lion to HS).
And i am able to boot all these OS even with Enoch v.2725.
So i will search to fix USB Enoch installation

Hi!

How did you manage to install HS on MBR HDD using createinstallmedia method?

How to put the mar patch on the usb stick with this method wile you don't have access to /system/library/privateframework/osinstal?

Hi,

I didn't mess with mbr patch for High Sierra.

 

1) I have installed from USB Clover pen to another USB Pen GUID partitioned. (32 Gb usb pen)

To get this working in Clover i have set FIX_HEADER enabled in ACPI Clover config.plist

2) When HS was installed on USB pen ( two reboot are needed because of first stage and second stage of installation),

i have installed Fakesmc.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, RealtekRTL8111.kext in /S/L/E and recreated Kernelcache

i have installed also AppleHACIPort.kext  vers.238 ( find here on download section of Forum) in /S/L/E, because HS didn't see my other OSX partitions on HDD with vers.239 ( the one from installation).

 

3) Then i have cloned HS from USB to a new partition ( 25 Gb)  on MBR HDD with CarbonCopyCloner.

     I have copied /Extra folder from my  Sierra  partition to HS and then i have booted from Enoch.

 

It works !!

Enoch USB install pen fixing

 

Hi,

i get some partial success in fixing USB Enoch installation pen.

 

I have substituted PrelinkedKernel in USB /System/Library/PrelinkedKernels folder with the one which i have created/found in the installed High Sierra partition.

 

Now USB Enoch installation starts without issue, but installation process stops with an error

 

"unable to find /System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg"

I have to investigate more ....

 

See Ya
