Hi!
Sierra (10.12.6) works perfectly, but I got stuck screen while booting up High Sierra upgrade installer.
I am using your version of Clover (Clover_v2.4k_r4318) with latest kexts on U430p (i5-4200u).

This looks like EFI/Clover from your HDD/SSD (not USB)...

Your EFI/Clover/kexts/Other is not per guide.

Your config.plist is not per guide. Read post #1, "Final config.plist".
 
RehabMan, good day to you, and thanks for great work and support!
Unfortunately, can't neither upgrade from 10.11 -> 10.13.1, nor clean-install it on my u430p (/w nVidia graphics);
Got instant-failure on booting installer: Error loading kernel cache (0xe), either with OsxAptioFixDrv and OsxAptionFix2Drv (separately);
I've tried to clean kernel caches (when tried 10.11 -> 10.13.1), added apfs.efi , but with no luck.
I've formatted the drive (so there are no previous osx installations), tried another USB-flash drive -- same results;
nVidia graphics is enabled in BIOS, other BIOS settings are as described in 1st post.

My Clover config is in attachment. Thanks in advance :)

Should be only these kexts in Clover/kexts/Other: FakeSMC.kext, RealtekRTL8111.kext, and VoodooPS2Controller.kext. Remove all others.
apfs.efi only needed if you plan to install to APFS. HFS+J recommended.
Try both OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi and OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi, but never both at the same time.
Also, you should try using the appropriate config.plist from the main guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/
(the config.plist files there have some updates that have not made it to config_install.plist in the u430 github... due to no one asking for it...)
Also a good idea to stick with just the drivers64UEFI content suggested in the guide. Remove other files the Clover installer may have added.
And in case the Inject/NVidia/AddProperties (in the guide plists) don't work to fix the NVidia related "window server" problem, you may need to implement this guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-only-ran-for-0-seconds-with-dual-gpu.233092/
The ACPI path of the Nvidia on the u4x30 is: _SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP

Note: I haven't had any issue updating my u430 to 10.13.0, and now on 10.13.1. I updated from 10.12.6 though and mine does not have Nvidia.

Thanks for rocket-speed feedback!
Tried stock config.plist from main guide (config_HD4600_4400_4200.plist , renamed); Removed unnecessary files from drivers64UEFI (leaving the ones on a screenshot in main guide) and Clover/kexts/Other
Tried both OsxAptioFixDrv-64 and Drv2 from separate boot attempts, same KP:
OsxAptioFix(2)Drv: Starting overrides for \.IABootFiles\boot.efi
Using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no
Error loading kernel cache (0xe)

Will try another fresh-install later, but in any case: thank you a lot for guide and help!
And have a nice day! :)

You should probably check BIOS settings (reset them, then check; latest/recent BIOS?).

Attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.

Thanks your reply @RehabMan!

Yes, I'm using clover from my SSD. (My notebook has 2 SSD: one for Windows and one for Mac with EFI partition)
I tried with clean clover + new kexts but got same error. With final config.plist I got AppleACPIPlatform error while booting up.

Thanks and have a nice day!

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
