Cant Boot Into Installer Acer Predator Helios 300

[Sudarshan]

Hello guys, I bought this Acer laptop few months ago, and now I'm trying to install 10.14 on it.
Below is it's hardware info:

Mode: Acer Predator Helios 300
CPU: Intel Core i7 7700HQ
RAM: 16GB DDR4
GPU1: Intel HD Graphics 630
GPU2: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6gb

And CLOVER ver is Clover_v2.4k_r4701.RM-4963

I got this KP when tried to boot installer
I couldn't find anything on google and since there are no guides for my laptop, I created this thread.

Here is my CLOVER file, photo when KP, and preboot.log
Hope someone can figure out the reason.

you need to update your clover version via sourceforge, i use version 4862 or you can experiment with later versions

use a usb mouse until you have installed macOS

then address the graphics issue after

USB mouse works. Was gonna use it with an external display anyway, so not an issue.
But what about the graphic issue. How should I solve it?

Can i use this in the Installer page with Ethernet to download and execute the tool. Or should I continue with the installation and then report the files after I'm done with the installation

as mentioned, install macOS first before addressing graphics issues

 

[Sudarshan]

Okay. Ill get back after the installation.

On a side note. The same EFI folder is able to boot my previous High Sierra Installation without any graphic issues.
Should I update from inside High Sierra(Vanilla, Nothing modified) or go for a fresh install?
