APFSStart:1456 Console dialog at startup

Hello,

I'm running a Mac Pro 4.1 (flashed to 5.1) and installed MacOS High Sierra (I've tried Upgrading from Sierra 10.12.6 and Clean Install of 10.13.6).

My Specs are:

Mac Pro 5.1 (Early 2009)

macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Processor: 2 x 3,46 Ghz 6-Core Intel Xeon

Memory: 48 GB 1333 Mhz

Startup Disk: Samsung EVO 850 SSD 500GB

Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB

My problem started after installing High Sierra, as I said before I tried upgrading from Sierra and with a clean install and I still have the same issue, everything works fine, except that every time I turn on my Mac I get a console text at the start, right before the "apple logo" comes out.

I've been investigating that issue and I've seen that it's a common problem with Hackintosh but I have a real Mac Pro...

It is supposed to be just a message that apfs.efi brings out on the boot section but I don't want it to be shown, any ideas on how to make this message disappear?

Here is a photo of the text:

Thanks and sorry for my English.

Mac Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), null

Yes, I know that that's why I forced to format in Extended just to see if works or not.

Anyway, I fixed the problem !

That console text only comes out with my GTX 970, I've tested with an R9 280X and there isn't any text !

I don't know why but it seems that High Sierra doesn't really support Nvidia cards or web drivers, because my 970 works 100% on Sierra.

Thanks for your help and time spent on me!

Greetings!

Does it also have a fusion drive set up, as the boot drive, and using 10.13 or later?

If it does, and is operating properly, you may just be unlucky -- one works and one does not. But Apple says it is not supported in 10.13, so they will not fix it.
