"Boot macOS Installer" not showing in Clover

I'm trying to do a direct update from Sierra. When I run the installer, it prompts for a restart and when it does, I don't see the option to boot into the installer in Clover. It's only showing Sierra disk and the recovery partitions. What could be causing the installer from not showing up? I am using the latest version of Clover (4220).

 

How quickly is the installer supposed to configure when you run it from the Desktop? Mine runs through in couple of seconds and then prompts me to restart.

 

Here's the installer log when I run the High Sierra installer:

Nice, TheRacerMaster. Thanks! I'm having this issue ever since HS DP1. What worked for me was creating a custom boot entry for the installer, but this is a better solution I suppose

Can you elaborate further how you'd this?

 

I have a Fusion drive setup, so disabling CoreStorage isn't really an option for me, or is it?

Clover Configurator -> Gui -> Custom entries:

I’m still having the same issue despite updating to Clover r4228 and r4233. Fusion Drive makes me unable to disable CoreStorage. Adding a drive in Clover Configurator > GUI doesn’t show up in Clover either... any ideas?

I have solution for this problem. Start install. After first reboot you have "Boot macOS Installer" not show in Clover. Reboot to install flash (need cp, mkdir, rm skill) or to working system (install OS to flash or external disk). You must put files from com.apple.boot.* folder to other. Your Boot OS X disk must look like:

 
Boot OS X
|_com.apple.boot.*
|_ Library -> Preferences -> SystemConfiguration -> com.apple.Boot.plist (key and sting about kernel cache in this plist must be deleted)
|_ System -> Library -> PrelinkedKernels -> prelinkedkernel
|_ usr -> standalone -> i386 -> EfiLoginUI -> Lucida13.efires, disk_passwordUI.efires, recoveryUI.efires, Lucida13White.efires, flag_picker.efires, recovery_user.efires, appleLogo.efires, guest_userUI.efires, sound.efires, battery.efires, loginui.efires, unknown_userUI.efires
|_System
|_Library -> CoreServices -> .disk_label, .disk_label_2x, .disk_label.contentDetails, .root_uuid, PlatformSupport.plist, SystemVersion.plist, boot.efi
 
After do this - reboot.
 
 
PS Same {censored} for update.

I’m still having the same issue despite updating to Clover r4228 and r4233. Fusion Drive makes me unable to disable CoreStorage. Adding a drive in Clover Configurator > GUI doesn’t show up in Clover either... any ideas?

 

hi Daniyo, were you able to resolve this?

I'm facing the same issue, I have tried creating the USB installer using the createinstallmedia command and also Pandora's box. and also tried adding the custom boot option in config.plist -> GUI.

 

none of these solutions have worked for me, I am unable to see the High Sierra installation volume on boot.
