Cannot boot into High Sierra for the first time

[N8261D]

Hi there. I have a Dell Optiplex 380 and just upgraded from Sierra to High Sierra. I had to update my Lilu.kext in my EFI partition because Clover would be stuck in a boot loop when trying to boot to the HS Install. So I did that then I was able to install High Sierra but now that it is installed, I cannot boot into High Sierra for the first time! I have NVidia web drivers installed. I already tried the -f UseKernelCache=No and the -x command. ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED!

I cannot boot into High Sierra for the first time!

Boot your system in Verbose Mode and post a picture of your screen when it freezes/hangs.
At Clover Boot Screen press space bar and select Verbose (-v) and Don't reboot on panic (debug=0x100).

So I was able to boot the installer after putting in the latest lilu.kext in my EFI partition, under the "Other" folder. Then I opened the Install macOS High Sierra Installer, went through that, restarted, booted into the temporary Install macOS partition without anymore issues. The install took about 45 minutes because I only have a C2D and 4GB of RAM. Then, upon completion and reboot, I cannot boot into my desktop. I can, however, boot into the Recovery Partition.
