High sierra stopped booting out of nowhere. I didn't let it update or anything, it just started spitting out "process [***] crashed: opendirectoryd. too many corpses being created" error in verbose.
My high sierra installation usb that I had since I installed high sierra didn't boot either, but in verbose it hanged on "unsupported cpu for reporter" error. In recovery mode, it would hang on "does printf work?" error. In single user mode, it would hang on same "unsupported cpu for reporter" error.
I was booting into high sierra through older clover from my previous el capitan HD (btw, el capitan still boots fine), so I tried to boot with newer (one that was installed along with high sierra), installation usb booted despite getting same error and single user started working, but os and recovery still does not boot.
Troubleshooting I tried: 1. Bios was not altered in any way, I still tried disabling intel virtualization technology and serial port. 2. Changed mac's identifier from 14,2 to 13,2. 3. Tried clearing cache via single user mode. 4. Tried booting without kexts. 5. Tried booting with cpu=1.
Im not sure what else to do, can somebody help with this weird problem? It's hard to find any info about it and it feels like this problem is much more rampant on genuine macs.. And most of apple forums just tell to reinstall os...
