Hey Rehabman, I was successful installing High Sierra 10.13.2 and everything except touchpad works. I tried your methods but it still isn’t working.

"2. Clover bootloader screen shows up, select "install_osx". This is the partition on the USB you created earlier. Note: You can press spacebar at this point to change how Clover boots OS X (verbose, without caches, etc). Verbose is a good idea when you're not certain if it is going to work."

I need help completing this step. How do i select "install_osx"? I can't see that anywhere. I can see only 2 options: boot windows and boot ubuntu (idk why is that there, i don't have ubuntu).

Ok, i maked raport file.

Clover/kexts/Other is not per guide.
Only include kexts you actually need to boot the installer, omit others.
All kexts should be in kexts/Other.
You should use the RehabMan build of Clover.
No verbose boot photo attached.

This time I used Clover_v2.4k_r4359.RM-4506.7036cf0a.zip.
