High Sierra on the Dell Latitude 3340 Laptop

[trmazi]

According to the laptop compatibility sheet, this should be achievable, but I have had the hardest issues with this laptop. For starters, I used the guide for creating the installer for laptops (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/) and then I followed the guide for the Dell Latitude 3450 as that was the closest thing I could find to my laptop. I have made some changes to get the right kexts for my hardware, and I've modified config.plist to match my video hardware. BUT... Whenever I boot, there is always this stupid issue where it gets stuck at "Waiting for root device" and shows a circle with a line through it. It always times out after VooDooPS2. I've tried excluding it from boot, but it doesn't help.
