Tarynasaurus Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) My Situation:After updating to High Sierra 10.13.4 from Sierra, I keep running into a kernel panic on boot. I can still boot to macOS with safe boot, but no luck without the -x flag.My limitations:• I can't access my boot drive's EFI partition when in safe boot.• What I can do is access my boot flash drive's EFI partition through my spare hackintosh.What I've done/tried with no success:• Updated to the latest nVidia web driver (the one for 10.13.4).• Updated Lilu.kext.• Booting with webdrivers and then with VESA drivers, made no difference.• Booted with iGFX, get a black screen after BIOS, can't get into clover.Kernel Panic Details:The kernel panic scrolls by at light speed. I was able to record it in slow motion with my iPhone, and enhance it with Premiere, although it's still a bit blurry. https://youtu.be/tfpZDcHS1XQ A million thanks to anyone willing to help! Let me know if you need any other details. ----------------------------------- SPECS ----------------------------------- Processor: i7 6700k Motherboard: ASUS Z170-Pro GPU: ASUS GTX 1080Ti Edited May 24, 2018 by Tarynasaurus Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334169-kernel-panic-after-upgrading-to-high-sierra/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomTech Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Try to remove all kexts and keep only the basic Fakesmc and your ethernet kext (both latest) and also basic config.plist then see what happens, try the best SMBIOS for your system which I think is iMac 14,2 if it doesn't work then switch to 14,1 or anything else. If thats the nVidia Webdriver problem as I assume then I have no idea because last nVidia card I used in my Hacki was 980ti two years ago, back then I would boot with nv_disable=1 bootflag to see if the driver is causing the issue (I don't know if this flag still works now), if that is the problem then this link might be useful for you https://hackintosher.com/guides/properly-install-nvidia-drivers-high-sierra-10-13/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334169-kernel-panic-after-upgrading-to-high-sierra/#findComment-2614798 Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some tinkering around I found out that I had an outdated Lilu.kext, only it wasn't where I expected it to be. It was in /Library/Extensions and not in my EFI folder! Boots up without a problem now. Thanks a million, that really helped, i'm so happy right now Edited May 25, 2018 by Clayf700 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334169-kernel-panic-after-upgrading-to-high-sierra/#findComment-2615030 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrustAugustus Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Great news. Making sure your lilu/intelgraphicis/nvidia kexts are updated solves a lot of problems for many people. I had the same problem where I had installed the kext and only updated the clover kexts folder.
