Boot Loop after Vanilla 10.13.1 Install

Hello all,

I used the Hackintosher guide for a vanilla High Sierra install, which worked great on the first try, I got through the initial install, edited the XML to keep HFS+, and finished the full install. Upon rebooting after the full install finished, I get a boot loop- I can't even get Clover to boot back into the installer again... All three clover entries (USB installer / MacOS drive / Recovery) result in the same error: It looks like I'm halting with the following:

  • Error allocating 0x11aa6 pages at...
  • Couldn't allocate runtime area
  • Boot failed, sleeping for 10 seconds before exiting...

First, I believe this is an error related to RAM- which I know happens from time to time without ECC RAM, but I've tried probably 30 times now with no luck. Second, I'm not sure why I can't even get the clover install option to even work this time.

I haven't done any system modifications post install, so I don't believe it would be related to the gfx card, but I could be wrong?

Any suggestions? I'm getting pretty frustrated as I spent days going down the Tonymacx86 route with no luck, and I was pleasantly surprised when this installed without a hitch... I guess that was premature.

Guide I used here.

I've confirmed my hardware is compatible (had to replace the mobo and gfx before beginning) System Info: MSI X99s SLI PLus, i7-5820k, EVGA GTX-1070, Intel SSD

Thanks for your help!
