I followed the guide, and I successfully extracted the files. At the stage disassembling them in a group, I encounter the error "ACPI Error: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, During name lookup/catalog" and no resultant DSL files are properly created. Did I miss anything that guide which explains this error please?

I compiled the iasl binary using the master branch of iasl git repo provided, and disassemble all the AML files in a group under the same directory. In the above post I have also attached the AML files as origin-aml.zip.

Your files have embedded external opcodes, so no need for -da flag.
Disassemble with: iasl -dl DSDT.aml SSDT*.aml

I am able to disassemble the AML files now. Thank you.

drivers64UEFI folder is wrong, config.plist is wrong

follow the guide and get a proper config.plist:

and then for your error:

I have followed the guide and use a proper config.plist. This time I get through the first part of the installation, but cannot continue the installation after rebooting. What are some of the clues I can look at please? I am attaching the CLOVER folder and the screenshot here. Thank you.

Your profile lacks important details (screen resolution).
Please fix as per FAQ:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/

Problems:
- drivers64UEFI is not per guide (guide does not recommend CsmVideoDxe/OsxAptioFix2Drv). Remove CsmVideoDxe, remove OsxAptioFix*.efi. Add AptioMemoryFix.efi.
- Clover/kexts/Other is not per guide. SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext is missing. IntelGraphicsFixup.kext is missing. Lilu.kext is missing.
- your config.plist is corrupt. Replace with plist from guide.
- guide recommends RehabMan Clover build.
- problem reporting files are incomplete (you forgot to press F2 and F4).

Read carefully:

Thank you very much. I am able to boot to the login screen with excellent performance now.

To continue, these are the problems I face now:
1. Laptop only boots when HDMI is not plugged in. Plugging in an HDMI monitor to it after entering Mac OS will reboot the machine; plugging before the reboot will show blank screen instead of the Mac OS login screen after the Clover verbose boot.
2. After entering Mac OS, plugging in the power cable to the machine would trigger a reboot.
3. Keyboard is not working even with VoodooPS2Controller per guide (attached in the CLOVER.zip).

Please let me know if my following directions for mitigating the above are correc:
- For 1), I will have to disable the discrete graphic card by following https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-only-ran-for-0-seconds-with-dual-gpu.233092/ and https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-disabling-discrete-graphics-in-dual-gpu-laptops.163772/.
- For 2), I will have to fix the batter by following https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-how-to-patch-dsdt-for-working-battery-status.116102/.
- For 3), I do not have a clue yet. The VoodooPS2Controller doesn't seem to do anything. Should I just extract the Voodoo keyboard kext?

Thank you very much.
