MacBook Air Early 2015 - 8GB/i5
Recently I decided to upgrade my MacBook’s SSD and I bought the Samsung EVO 970 Plus 500GB and an NVME adapter for MacBook air.
I installed the SSD and it works perfectly under Linux (installed on this machine) but when I try to install High Sierra or Mojave I keep getting Kernel Panics.
Even when I boot from another HD and try to clone the drive, at some point it will reboot and show a Kernel Panic.
I will try to get the log file, but I remember it kept throwing some NVME error as the reason for the crash.
I am quite confident that it is something about macOS software because it wouldn’t work on Linux otherwise. A driver issue probably, or something.
Any idea on how could I solve this?

When I brought my White Tab iMac to an Apple Store in 2009 to have them swap in a much larger HD, I learned that the majority of storage devices are not supported, and that Apple has no responsibility to assist with unsupported devices. I tried the replacement myself, and it didn't work. Probably no driver written, and that was the end of the anecdote. – Christopher Hostage – 2019-03-26T23:25:41.563
