Obviously it boots, but as soon as the OS starts up I get the "you've inserted a drive/volume that can't be recognized" and offers me the options to initialize, ignore or eject.
Ultimately, within minutes I get kernel panics.
The computer was fine on Thursday when I shut it down before leaving for vacation over the weekend. Today this all started at the first boot!
Anyone have any ideas? I'm trying to chase down whether it's related to my RX 570 graphics card too... but that doesn't explain why the OS believes the boot volume isn't recognized.
How do I see all the volume containers on an SSD now? I'm wondering if there's a rogue container that's obviously not showing up and causing issues.

Thank you for visiting the MRF Oh Crap Clinic, where a group of well-meaning and variably experienced MRF nerds will respond to your crisis with vim, vigor, and verve - occasionally providing good advice amongst the snark and non sequiturs.
Your problem description is incomplete: please detail what Mac model is in use, which iteration of MacOS High Sierra is installed (if known). whether the machine will boot into recovery mode, the format of the boot volume (HFS, APFS?), and any other details you may have omitted during your frantic initial post.
Your cavalier, sarcastic, knowledgeable (if sometimes disagreeable) technicians will be with you shortly.
You need a break.
Take a break.
Take a Jimboy's Taco break!
