Cannot load system from NVME drive #1

Closed mlevkov closed 6 years ago

Hi,

I've tried to load the os from the freshly installed NVME 970 drive. Does it load some kind of driver from your tool or something else? I've tried install/reinstall multiple times. I load OS from USB drive, then format the NMVE 970EVO, then reboot with Next Loader installed. During the High Sierra OS installation, the installation goes into reboot at about 2 minute mark remaining and circle of efforts repeats again (reboot, reinstall, auto-reboot). Should I be expecting some kind of other behavior with your tool installed as boot manager?

This is caused because a driver crashes when loading Next Loader, this has been previously reported by some other users as well. I'm working on identifying which driver causes the boot loader to crash. I'll publish more information about it as soon as I find the cause. Also, Keep in mind that Next Loader cannot be installed on the NVMe you want to boot, it must be installed on another AHCI-compatible drive.

Will look out for the solution. I had it installed on separate USB drive.

Next Loader must be installed on an AHCI drive to be able to boot an NVMe drive.
