I have a Dell Inspiron 3537 with Core i7 - 4500U processor, 8GB Ram, Intel HD4400 Graphics, Radeon Discrete Graphics(which I believe I have disabled correctly)

My setup might sound a bit odd as I have two SSD's and on the main one where I keep the Mac-OS I have an EFI with Clover which runs smoothly when booting the system, however, I cannot do any updates on that Clover (probably something wrong with the Config.plist which I cannot figure out) On the secondary SSD I have another EFI with Clover which works flawlessly when I run any Mac-OS updates, however that one Panics when I want to run the system on it. I did not have any problems with it just got used to it.
I recently did a full copy of the system and upgraded it from Mojave 10.14.6 to Catalina 10.15. using the secondary clover. The update went fine but I cannot start the system using my usual Main Clover which I used for Mojave. It also Panics when I try to run it on the secondary Clover. I have managed to get it running in Safe mode using the Secondary Clover.
Could anyone guide me into the right direction.I believe that my Secondary Clover might need some small tweak to have it run the updates as well as the Main system.

I am attaching the Main System Clover and the Secondary Clover.

It is solved now.
I had to add this patch to clover patches

Description: Changes ECDV to EC
Find: 45434456
Replace: 45435F5F

Thanks to Jake Lo

I also added SSDT-EC.aml to my patched ACPI folder in Clover
 
Hi @verebes I have the same system as yours and stuck on the same apfs module load when trying to ugprade catalina. Can you post your final EFI folder please which is working for you? If the clover patch is the only thing you did, can you tell if which EFI are you using now? (MAIN or Update from above files...)
