FALLOFMAN Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Whats up everyone. I still have the same system except I got a Samsung evo 860 ssd, and I was running Sierra, I thought id just do a clean install of high Sierra. When I had trouble setting up Sierra before, I started a thread and got amazing help from amazing people here. This thread https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/forums/topic/320589-im-at-a-dead-end-with-clover/ I thought id follow the same instructions since a moderater basically set up my EFI folder for me and I just dragged it in and it worked perfectly. But with this new install, I'm having a few problems. 1. High Sierra just freezes after a few minutes of being idle 2. and my biggest issue. When I try to boot Sierra from my new I get the black screen with the white writing that says please insert proper boot disk and press any key to continue. So I can only boot from usb right now I have clover boot loader and clover configurator installed but I noticed something weird. Sierra is installed on disk1s2 but clover doesn't I've me an option to mount there, only gives me an option to mount on disk0s2 and others...heres a screenshot any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you UPDATE Turns out I had the kexts in the wrong folder. Now clover boots from the SSD but it loads and says MACH REBOOT Are there any specific boot args I should be using?

Seems like your system can't pick up on the bootfiles 44 minutes ago, FALLOFMAN said: I have clover boot loader and clover configurator installed but I noticed something weird.

APFS uses virtual containers. The actual disk is disk0 and the virtual container is on disk1s2. You can verify this in terminal: diskutil list See screenshot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
