I've got some problems installing Innie on my cMP.
After executing "sudo kextcache -update-volume /" I get the following warning: "
Warning: /AppleInternal/Library/Extensions: No such file or directory" and after reboot my NVMe SSD is still listed as external.
I am running a MacPro4,1 flashed to 5,1 with 140.0.0.0.0 BootROM Version and macOS 10.14.1 running on an Samsung 970 EVO 500 GB partitioned into two Volumes, one APFS for macOS and an empty Fat one for a soon to come Windows installation.

Because you try to put them in the wrong path, there is no "AppleInternal" in the root directory.
You should put the kext either in /Library/Extensions (recommended) or /System/Library/Extensions.
Please make sure you can straightly follow the steps in post #9.

Or do NOT do it.
Thanks for the quick answer !
I've put the lilu.kext into /Library/Extensions as recommend and did everything exactly as stated is post 9. I have never touched any folder like "AppleInternal", it was only mentioned in the message I've received in terminal after trying to update the kext cash.
In system preferences/extensions Innie and Lilu show up but are listed as not loaded.
By the way I've tried to install innie before when I was using BootROM Version 138 and injected the NVMe Boot Code from the nMP and got the exact same result as on my current fresh macOS install.
Do you have any other ideas ?
Thx in advance

The AppleInternal warning is normal in Mojave; I get it too. Something else is awry. Perhaps you could check the following:
-Before the warning, do you see "Kext with invalid signature... permitted" messages?
-Is SIP still completely disabled when you reboot for the first time after the installation process?
-Are you using the latest version (1.2.8) of Lilu?
Finally,
-Do you have any other third party kexts or concurrent macOS installations?
Since version 1.0.9, Innie works with all drives.
In 10.14.2 the samsung comes again to external. Maybe reinstalling.
By the way , when intarnal, dindn´t get to install windows viia Bootcamp. So iit´ss not for the lack of internal, At least not only

Same here MacPro 4.1 > 5.1 Mojave 10.14.1, BootRom 140.0.0.0.0, EVO 970 NVME, no Nightshift or Innie Plugin possible.

Question regarding boot times - I have a Samsung 960 NVMe drive (showing as external), installed Mojave - no issues, BUT boot up times takes a long time (there are issues with external drives formatted as APFS taking a long time to boot - Mac OS looking for boot drives). Will making the drive appear as internal using Innie, speed up the boot process?
That "slow boot bug" most likely happen before the kext loaded. So, I don't think it can help. But the kext installation process is simple and completely reversible. So, nothing hurt to give it a try.
Of course, as precaution, and as common practice, you should have proper backup, just in case.
