Can't install under High Sierra

Postby AnWa » Fri Nov 10, 2017 7:55 am

Hi!

After upgrading to High Sierra, ZFS will not load. Terminal output follows:
Anders-MC:log anderswa$ sudo zpool import
Password:
Failed to load ZFS module stack.
Load the module manually by running '/sbin/kextload /Library/Extensions/zfs.kext' as root.
The /dev/zfs device is missing and must be created.
Try running 'udevadm trigger' as root to create it.
Anders-MC:log anderswa$ cd /dev
Anders-MC:dev anderswa$ cd zfs
-bash: cd: zfs: No such file or directory
Anders-MC:dev anderswa$ sudo udevadm trigger
sudo: udevadm: command not found
Anders-MC:dev anderswa$ sudo /sbin/kextload /Library/Extensions/zfs.kext
/Library/Extensions/zfs.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) dependency load failed; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).


So I tried to do a reinstall using the 1.7.0 installer, but no. Log follows:
2017-11-10 16:48:34+01 Anders-MC installd[16445]: PackageKit: Removing client PKInstallDaemonClient pid=17024, uid=501 (/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer)

2017-11-10 16:48:48+01 Anders-MC Installer[17024]: Package Removal: Package cannot be removed.


Any and all help appreciated.

Download the 1.6.1 DMG. Open/mount that. Run the uninstaller script from the 1.6.1 image. Reboot (maybe not necessary?). Install 1.7.0 from PKG.

That worked for me.

Yes, you need the kext from 1.7.0 instead, that should load. If you want to see why they do not load, use "kextutil spl.kext zfs.kext" after cd'ing into /Library/Extensions/

Thanks, both of You.

Unfortunately, it failed. Following the last suggestion, I got this text back:

It seems that my Mac refuses to load the signed software. I have tried repeatedly to allow the software in the Securities settings panel, bu nothing seems to happen.

All 3rd party(?) kexts now need to be explicitly allowed now, regardless of whether they're signed with a valid key.

Have you allowed the kexts to be loaded - System Preferences, Security and Privacy, General? You should have seen a pop-up.

As has been noted elsewhere, this has to be done "physically" as it doesn't seem to work (reliably?) via screen sharing or remote management.

Looks like you have the shim kext already loaded, you may need to reboot, then it should load the kexts (assuming the old kexts are not still in /Library/Extensions)

The "allow all" option has disappeared; probably as part of the OS upgrade. I now have to allow non-Apple approved software manually, but when I click the Allow button, nothing happens. These are differences compared to before the OS upgrade.

Rebooted, but to no effect:

This may help:

Go to the Security & Privacy window of System Preferences. Go to the General tab. In the bottom half of the window, it should say "application was blocked for Joergen Lundman" and have an "Allow" button. If you have that, it should solve it. If you don't have it, try fiddling around to make it appear - Maybe closing & re-opening the dialogue. Maybe re-running the installer. Maybe trying some "sudo zpool" commands, and then going back into the system preferences dialogue.

I don't know why the button wasn't there for me before, and I don't know what caused it to appear later, but I know I was having a very similar problem to yours, and I specifically looked for that button (it wasn't there), and then a day later I looked again, and it was there. After I was able to click the button, the problem was solved.

It would have to be with spl and zfs kexts on the commandliine, ie

kextutil /Library/Extensions/spl.kext /Library/Extensions/zfs.kext/

Or hmm, maybe it can handle dependency when they are installed.

That stat reports error seems to suggest the kext in not installed?

The udev trigger garbage is left over from ZOL days, we should really delete that print.
