Maybe it is an installer bug, but we don't see your problem here. Here is something to try: Install 10.12 onto another disk. Boot from another volume Convert your RAID 0 to Apple format Run the installer for Sierra See if it completes. If it does, then boot from the 10.12 volume and "Convert" back to SoftRAID format. OK. That worked. Now, the great concern, if I have to do this every time I want to update the OS, copy everything off of 2 of my RAIDs, then delete 2 out of my 3 volumes, convert the one remaining volume back to AppleRAID, then why… Oh, wait. Instant kernel panics now and an endless reboot cycle. This is not good.]]> Other Problems zav https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/installing-10-12-6-always-hangs-on-some-softraid-volumes/#post-2242 https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/installing-10-12-6-always-hangs-on-some-softraid-volumes/#post-2241 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 18:42:43 +0000 I don't know.

It is already working. I had to delete 2 volumes though before I was able to convert the volume back so that I can upgrade. That is a serious bummer/concern.]]> Other Problems zav https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/installing-10-12-6-always-hangs-on-some-softraid-volumes/#post-2241 https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/installing-10-12-6-always-hangs-on-some-softraid-volumes/#post-2240 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 18:22:21 +0000 I don't know.

Good call. I'll try that now. I've already lost one of my boot drives and the second is also getting stuck at the same issue. Is there a method to enable verbose output in the installer when it boots to continue install?
