Issue Description

Well, after much success in just doing an upgrade for macOS Security Updates whenever needed, I finally got bitten today. I installed Security Update 2018-001 Sierra on my Hackintosh, foolishly without a backup, and I now get consistent kernel panics on boot. Image of the panic being written to screen over the boot logo is below. Anyone have any ideas?

I did just look at this a bit more closely, and it might be panicking after loading up the Lilu kernel extension. Appears that it's running Lilu 1.1.6, and I note here that the extension is now up to 1.2.1...but that 1.2.0 broke compatibility with some Lilu add-ons and I'm not sure which ones are used in this package...

Again, ideas always welcomed.

I have the exact same issue. Short of restoring to an old backup, I'm not sure how to recover from this.

It's the old version of Lilu that's causing this. To boot, you can add -liluoff, which you prevent Lilu from loading.

Thanks, Alex, I'll try that later tonight once I'm back at my machine. Any ideas on a permanent solution to this besides disabling Lilu? I'll edit my clover config file to lock this in for now, but if I recall Lilu is being used for a couple of things in your package like enabling purchased iTunes video playback...

Updating Lilu (and its plugins) is all that you need to do.

OK, thanks for the help -- this worked! Here's what I ended up doing, in case it helps others:

Booted with -liluoff flag in Clover.
Mounted EFI partition and navigated to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other. Noted all kexts that were there and their versions.
Checked out the Lilu GutHub project and downloaded the latest release. Installed into the kexts\Others path.
Cheked out the Lilu Known Plugins list and ended up downloading and installing new versions of the following kexts from the links on that page: AppleALC.kext; CoreDisplayFixup.kext; HibernationFixup.kext; IntelGraphicsFixup.kext; Shiki.kext; WhateverGreen.kext.
Shutdown and rebooted (rather than a restart, just in case) without the -liluoff flag. No problems encountered at all.

So far, everything seems stable but it's only been about 10 minutes since I got this up and running again. Glad to have my Plex server back! :)
