Need Help Installing High Sierra


4 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am having issues trying to install High Sierra on my system. I believe the drive is 10.13.2 at least because I had to delete a hidden file (.IAPhysicalMedia) to get the installer to show up in clover in the first place. This was using the latest [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 8.2 first and when that didn't work I followed this guide: https://hackintosher.com/guides/high-sierra-install-full-guide/

Full System Specs:

Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero
Intel i7 7700K
32 GB DDR 4 RAM 
8GB EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW HYBRID
Corsair H100i v2 
1TB Samsung 850 SATA SSD
512 Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe (M2_1 slot)
256 Western Digital WD Black M.2 NVMe (M2_2 slot)


Goal: To have a triple boot setup - Windows 10 - MacOS - Linux

WD for Mac
960 for Windows and small 100GB partition for Linux
1TB 850 for what the hell ever 

As of right now everything is backed up so there is no risk of losing any data. Currently I have Sierra 10.12.6 install on the 850 SSD. Here are the guides I have used to help troubleshoot:

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...l-i7-7700k-32gb-ram-evga-gtx-1070-sc2.226011/

and some others I skimming through threads. 

I have tried with and without verbose, vanilla install and tinkering with settings, trying to have my bios set to PEG and IGFX. While not in verbose mode playing around with PEG I get the display shown in attachment discolored, but it seems to stall at the halfway mark. Using non PEG it is the same and not discolored. 

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I am out of ideas... Again it's basically a clean slate for me so even if I need to install one of the other operating systems first it isn't a problem, but since High Sierra is the pain point I wanted to start with it. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide in order to help you help me solve this problem. Thanks again!

This is the second time answering this question in a day, you need alpfs.efi in your Clover. It should be inserted in UEFIDrivers64. Also you need to set your GPU to PCI, and then use nv_disable=1 or press Space on the USB and select NVIDIA in VESA mode. After that boot in the same way and after you install the Web Drivers, you can boot normally. Good luck :)

Still getting the same issues. I checked and already had apfs.efi in UEFIDrivers64. I also found what is supposed to be the file for 10.13.2 which also made no difference. Without verbose mode I have a discolored apple logo and status bar halfway through and in Verbose mode it stops at (com.apple.WindowsServer .560(this number also changes somewhat. 55X to 56X)) <Warning> Service Exited with abnormal code: 1. I also keep getting an error when I try to post the screen shots, but they can also be seen here: https://hackintosher.com/forums/thread/issues-install-high-sierra.154/
