I don't think I've seen the device tree error before. But I have seen the alloc type 2 error. That usually happens for me if I try using Intel Graphics instead of Nvidia, but it may be random - it would successfully boot after a few tries. Maybe you need to use a different aptiofix driver, or some other memory fix driver or option.
The log should work when you have a successful boot. The first line might be "kernel: memory_actual: 0x80000000" but the "Darwin Kernel Version" line should be in the first 10 lines.
Check the pci device list in the Clover boot log. I don't think you'll find anything wrong there. You can check the devtree and pci commands in the EFI Shell. Those should also be reasonable.
Progress! I tried turning off Inject Intel, which led to a massive crash. Had to boot from another EFI, possibly due to NVRAM corruption?
I then disabled Internal Graphics in the BIOS and got to boot into High Sierra with my original config.plist (still have pci=1 added, but that's the only change)! The Thunderbolt Dock and the attached TB Drive do not show and no drivers show in the profiler. I don't see any in the IORegistryExplorer either. I did find a few threads online that use .aml and .dsl patches. Tried putting them in the ACPI/patched folder, but that didn't work. I'll have to do a little reading to find out how to install these correctly, as this is most likely user error.
Interestingly, piping the DP out of the GTX1080, through the DP IN 1 of the Alpine Ridge, and then out via HDMI works like a charm.
Thank you @joevt! I now have a running chance at finding config parameters that will work.
