Added High-Sierra tag and confirmed the OS version

In your experience, can you put the drive (from the 17") into another MacBook (say a 15") and boot? | |

If you boot to Command - R - S - do you get a recovery single user mode / terminal that can run fsck or Disk Utility to repair the drive and volumes? There's a lot going on here with older hardware, mods, etc... it might be time to erase and install and simplify the mods / or just re-perform them over a clean OS (Basically snapshots are the canary in the coal mine - if your system is too fragile for that lightweight "undo" - it's fragile for other reasons)
