Since installing High Sierra on my MacMini, the Restart process has become 'corrupted'(?). When restarting, I get a gray screen with a very long and difficult warning about my computer restarting 'because of a problem. No balck screen. No chime. I get the Apple, then the login dialog (but it is in white type, not black). when I enter my password, I get the Apple, but the progress bar is already nearly 90% complete. Then I get to the Finder. Several times, my mouse has frozen. I tried a cold restart (power source disconnected first), then got a gray screen again, no chime. Luckily, I was able to get into Recovery mode, ran Disk Utility; all is OK. Then restarted, and got the same process as described above. Ran EtreCheck:
