So when I was prompted to load a kernel extension from developer WEI LU SU I instantly said NO. User-Approved Kernel Extension Loading is a feature ( released broken) which should enhance system security, from preventing unknown sources extensions from loading into the kernel. Why? User-Approved Kernel Extension Loading. Now that I reinstalled with High Sierra the ethernet driver wasn’t working. When I first installed the drivers I was using Sierra, and no problems arise.

USB-A port uses ASM1153 chipset (55aa:174c), but works out of the box.Fantastic!Ĭoming from Linux, where 99% of the drivers are already provided in the kernel, the first odd thing I had to do is install the drivers for these ports! Even if I manage Windows computers daily, I wasn’t used anymore on my laptop! In order not to purchase many dongles (and spend too much on the Apple Store) I had a look on the usual sites and found a nice one from Cable Matters (no, sadly I have no sponsorship from them) which had them all: ethernet, USB-A, VGA and HDMI. Once you do this, the installer should finish and you should have a working macOS High Sierra installation.When I purchased the new Macbook Pro last year, one big issue was the lack of widely used interface ports. Copy that file to the install hard diskĬp InstallESDDmg.pkg /Volumes/CHANGEME/macOS Install Data/.Verify that the InstallESDDmg.pkg file is there.Find the install USB in /Volumes/ and change the directory to it.Once the terminal opens, you need to copy the InstallESDDmg.pkg install package from the USB to the Hard Drive of the PC manually.

Now, go to the top of the screen, select Utiltities and select Terminal. Once you format the hard disk and start the install process, the installer should fail with the following error:

Now, insert the USB into your ThinkPad and boot from it and start the installer. This is the terminal dump of the process:

Run createinstallmedia without the -applicationpath parameterĪfter that, inside the SharedSupport folder you should see this:.

Copy all the data from downloded installer into the folder you createdĬp -Rav /macOS Install Data/* SharedSupport/.

Create a directory called SharedSupport.

Open a terminal and change directory to the install directory:Ĭd /Applications/Install macOS High Sierra.app/Content.

Let the installer download the full image.

To create a install media disk, do the following: Because of this, the createinstallmedia utility is broken and throws an error. Now, the App Store downloads a macOS High Sierra downloader which in turn downloads the image. Before, the App Store would download the full image for the install and you could use createinstallmedia to create a bootable USB. With macOS High Sierra Apple has changed the way the installer works.
