btw... I am not able to find EFI/Clover folder on the USB stick I created for the install.
I tried displaying hidden files, but I couldn't see EFI folder.

Please let me know where to find this folder.

If you used MBR, it is on your "CLOVER EFI" partition.
If you used GPT, it is on the EFI partition, which you need to mount manually.

Clover/kexts/Other is wrong. HwMonitor.app is not a kext... should not be there.

Also, try with VboxHfs-64.efi instead of HfsPlus.efi.

Also, you may have other/system specific ACPI issues... Try alternate DropTables, or even DropOem=true.

Do I just remove the DisableDrivers key value from config.plist? or change its value from VBoxHfs to HFSPlus?

I am not sure about alternate DropTables... or Drop Oem... any pointers to do this?

tried changing DisableDrivers key value to HFSPlus: same behavior, stuck at ACPI.
Additionally deleted HFSPlus.efi: same behavior, stuck at ACPI.

I am guessing my BIOS settings are not correct. But there are no options in BIOS to change any of the stuff like VT-d, DEP, etc.

Did you set DVMT-prealloc as required?
