Clover/kexts/Other is missing SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext.
Read the guide carefully.
Thanks. I think I initially skipped that part because I was using an NVME drive and thought I didn't need it, and then I just forgot when I switched to SATA drives. That at least got me to the installer and mounted the NVME drive, but after the first phase, when booting from the target drive, it still wouldn't boot (attaching a picture of the boot just in case it's any help to anyone). Disk Utility still wouldn't mount the SATA SSD for some reason.
I think I got it to work another way, though. I popped the SATA SSD into my Broadwell NUC and installed High Sierra, which worked perfectly. Did all the post-install stuff just pretending I was on the NUC7, shut down, then popped the SSD into the NUC7. Seems to be working, at least in the limited testing I've done tonight. Guess I'll find out if something is broken as I keep using it. I may try to clone to the NVME drive and see if I can get it to boot then. The NVME drive is keyed differently than the M.2 slot on the NUC5, so I can't install directly onto there.
I installed High Sierra on NUC7. I had NVMe M2 SSD for windows installation initially with UEFI boot. I added one HDD to the NUC7 for Hackintosh Installation.
I successfully installed the Hackintosh. Here are the problems i am facing -
1. When i connect the USB Pen Drive and Keyboard/Mouse to the ports, i am seeing that the Keyboard & mouse are not responding properly. If i remove the USB Pen drive, keyboard and mouse are working properly. What is the reason?
2. This command failed when i executed.
Balajis-iMac:nuc.git balajikumard$ cp config_nuc7.plist /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/config.plist
cp: /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/config.plist: No such file or directory
I am attaching the output from the command: 'ls -l /Volumes' here:
Balajis-iMac:nuc.git balajikumard$ ls -l /Volumes

Why the command is failing?

Some notes on the NUC7i7DNKE
Recently received a "Dawson Canyon" NUC7i7DNKE. This NUC also works by following this guide.
Highlights:
- KabyLake-R Core i7-8650U
- Intel UHD 620 graphics
- replaceable WiFi via M.2 2230 slot
- M.2 2280 for SSD
- dual-HDMI at back panel (one marked "Protected UHD")
- 4x USB3 ports (2x back, 2x front)
- Ethernet (works with IntelMausiEthernet.kext)
- no analog audio (audio works via HDMI audio)
- no Thunderbolt, no USB type C
These "Dawson Canyon" NUCs are an excellent option due to their simplicity and replaceable WiFi hardware. I replaced the Intel WiFi hardware with Broadcom BCM943252Z and it works great. The required kexts and patches are already present in the guide files.
Note: The only big difference was the USB configuration, which uses HS02->HS05 + SS02->SS05 instead of 01->04. Some other files were simplified for the Dawson Canyon NUC due to lack of analog audio.
Thanks alot. I missed it. Can i do the missed step (Clover installation on HDD) now, without disturbing the completed High Sierra Installation?
By adding the new boot entry because of the above, whether the existing windows booting will be intact or is it going to be distrubed?
How to overcome this particular problem - When i connect the USB Pen Drive and Keyboard/Mouse to the ports, i am seeing that the Keyboard & mouse are not responding properly. If i remove the USB Pen drive, keyboard and mouse are working properly. What is the reason?
Turns out my problems were due to faulty or incompatible RAM. Borrowed a stick from my laptop and was able to install directly to the NVME with no issues. Now running the Mojave beta and haven't seen any issues yet.
