Does APFS work now with Clover and a Fusion drive? And where do I find "apfs.efi", and I assume I have to reformat the drive and reinstall High Sierra to use it?

 

apfs.efi is here in 10.13 files.zip: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/324194-pre-release-macos-high-sierra/page-2?do=findComment&comment=2435807

As far as I can see it is working. Can't tell about Fusion Drive. But the apfs filesystem is recognized and the apfs partition is mounted.

 

Where exactly do i add the following to my config.plist? Would be great if somone could post a sample. Maybe I am doing it wrong. I'm still stucked at "Disk Utility" in Setup. Spinning forever...

<key>FirmwareFeatures</key>
<string>0xe907f537</string>

You need to add it in your SMBios section

ok, just some updates: we are trying to get everything working, now I am trying that fixes you have posted, please can you write a complete guide to install it from scratch?


and the problems you are seeing are slowness problems, it is very slow because it try to verify the rom of the machine, but it fails , and then try and trys again, and this just slows down all the system and it will be very unstable and very slow, that's why you have all that problems, hopefully that fixes will work

I would like to provide a complete guide for all the users with similar hardware, but as long as I'm unable to install 10.13 it will be a little tricky. (If you meant me at all.)

Mac OS 10.13 beta install tutorial: 

 

1) use you current working clover for Mac OS Sierra and copy all the kexts you need from the “10.12” folder in /EFI/Clover/kexts to the “others” folder, the format you USB key with guid partition method and with hfs+ file system, call it “USB” without quotes

 

2) open terminal an paste this command: 

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ 10.13\ beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ 10.13\ beta.app --noiteraction

 

3) one the commend displayed “done” on the terminal type this command to show invisible files: 

 

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

 

An this other command to restart the finder: killall Finder

 

4) go to the usb installation key with the finder and the go to .IABootFiles folder that is now visible

 

5) replace the prelinkedkernel file you find here with this:

 

https://dl.dropboxus...prelinkedkernel

 

6) your usb is ready, you can copy the clover efi folder in his EFI partition if you want to have a working clover here

 

Now you can boot to the installer, this will take quite long time to boot and to load the installer.

 

DO NOT USE APPLE FILE SYSTEM, IT IS NOT SUPPORTED BY CLOVER RIGTH NOW SO YOU CAN’T BOOT WHEN ALL IS INSTALLED

 

 

When you try to do the second step of the installation process, do not boot form the installation volume yet, you have to use anther working copy of Mac OS to cange the prelinked kernel in .IABootFiles on the target installation volume, so you can boot to it and continue with tìinstallation, when installation is finished, before booting for the first time, you have to replace the prelinked kernel in the finished installation, so go to /System/Library/PrelinkedKernels and replace again the prelinked kernel with the patched one, once this is done you can boot to the finished installation and enjoy your new Mac OS high Sierra

clover v4081

clover with 

 

<key>FirmwareFeatures</key>
<string>0xe907f537</string>

 

add the apfs.efi to clover driverx64uefi folder.

(in  /Volumes/OS13/Applications/Install macOS 10.13 Beta.app/Contents/SharedSupport/BaseSystem.dmg,

/Volumes/OS X Base System/usr/standalone/i386/apfs.efi )

 

boot to the usb, format a partiton as APFS

install as normal,

reboot . (the first time it crashed, the second time good, and continue the installation )

my method? 

I don't really know which makes my installer works, I think should be the clover 4081? because with just the prelinked thing, I can't finish the installation. stuck at the install loading bar.

i now need the sound to  work,  ALC272, laptop sound chip, the AppleHDA patcher (v1.8) doesn't seem to work, (the fully patch kext doesn't work)

Just a quick update: using the new clover it worked just fine I have successfully installed the new version of Mac OS and everything seems to work, I need only the Nvidia web drivers for my gtx 960


here is my new installed system


the modded version of the kx audio driver I am working on works fine too, so I have also my sound blaster audigy rx working in the new Mac OS version

A question for you, how do I install Nvidia web driver for Mac OS Sierra "standard" 10.12.5 on the new high Sierra beta?
