2. Or try to activate TSC force in GRUB by adding boot flags `clocksource=tsc tsc=reliable` in the `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT` and call `update-grub`. In this case host OS probably could work unstable in some cases.

## Troubleshooting
### High Siearra and below installation issues
To solve error *The Recovery Server Could Not Be Contacted* you need to change the protocol from `https://` to `http://`. To do this, follow:
- start installation and get error *The Recovery Server Could Not Be Contacted*, hold the window with error opened
- open Window -> Installer Log
- search for the line "Failed to load catalog" -> select line in log windows -> Edit -Copy
- close the error message and return to `macOS Utilities` window
- open Utilities -> Terminal, right click -> paste
- edit the pasted data, remove everything except URL, like `https://blablabla.sucatalog`
- change https -> http
- adjust the command to be like: nvram IASUCatalogURL="<your HTTP URL here>"
- press enter, quit Terminal and try to start installation again
After this, no additional ISO needed, HighSierra must be installed well from recovey.
Here a sample how need to change the error message to the final URL:
`nIUvram IASUCatalogURL="http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.13-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog"`
