I'm trying to install High Sierra on my e5520 and intending to dual boot with Linux - planning to add that back later so, for now, mac has the ssd all to itself (Windows was wiped long ago). I got further than I thought for a newbie, but have to admit I'm stuck.
I make it as far as installation then at about 11-8 minutes left it switches itself off. I've tried restarting the installation (I read that it can take a few times) but it just keeps failing at what seems suspiciously like the same point.
I started out following the clover guide and using the generic + 5520 Sierra bootpack (updated for High Sierra as in the note) and using the method described to keep HFS+. I then searched around and tried a few different clover install settings and tried updating and removing various kexts. Most recently, I tried following the guide and using the files for the e6220, but keeping HFS+. Still fails at the same point.
I going to guess I've missed something obvious but I'd appreciate any advice - even just where the problem is likely to be given when it keeps failing. Maybe I need to go with apfs?
Thanks
