Thanks for the idea mate, I'll have a play around with it tomorrow and hopefully get it working!

Thanks for the idea, unfortunately it didn't work! I had originally tried removing that line altogether but no luck there either.

My bad, edited

Hello, I've attempted to create a High Sierra following Spaceinvader One's latest instructions. I've done everything he suggests but having a strange error I haven't been able to find any existing information about on the forums. Basically, I get to clover, change the resolution and attempt to boot the installer. The initial bar begins loading, but then fails 3/4 of the way through and provides this image. There doesn't appear to be any helpful information in the logs, but they are below. Running an AsRock x370 Taichi with a Ryzen 1700x.

So you haven't changed anything in the BIOS? I should have clarified that I also had to change a number of settings in the BIOS and unraid to achieve stability with my 1700x. Including: 1. Disable global c-states 2. I forget what the actual setting is but its a power setting and the best option is "typical device idle" or something like that. 3. Editing the syslinux configuration to include rcu_nocbs=0-15 (0-7 for you given its a 4-core processor) after "append". 4. Editing the go file to include "/usr/local/sbin/zenstates --c6-disable" as the first line (not sure if this is necessary given global disabling but I added it anyway.

Not sure if its relevant for you, but I had my RAM at 3200 (which it's rated for) and was having the same issue, random restarts, lockups etc. Changed it to stock speeds and haven't had an issue since. Going to try upping it incrementally over the next few days to keep it stable. May be an option to try.
