Hi, I'm trying to install High Sierra on my laptop (Acer Aspire 7, i7 7700hq and 1050 2gb). This is my second Hackintosh, the first one is a desktop, i5 8400, gigabyte d2v, gtx 1060 working fine. I used Unibeast to make the usb installer with a fresh copy of High Sierra downloaded on my Hackintosh, but it locks on com.apple.applefscompressiontypezlib or around there every time...
I'm trying to make a new usb installer rn, following this guide... https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/
But, it's complicated, and my main language is not English, so it's not easy. Can anyone please tell me if I can just solve the "applefscompression" issue and continuing with Unibeast or if I do have to manually install every file in the USB? If so, can you please tell me which files should I use/not use, based on my config?
Thanks in advance guys!

OK! I did it, I installed High Sierra and booted from my HDD using clover... But now, I have another problem. Keyboard and Trackpad aren't working. I tried installing VoodooPS2controller.kext, but it didn't work. I don't care about the trackpad for now, I just need my keyboard to work... Please help!

EDIT: Just tried ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext, installed with Kext Wizard, didn't work. Yes, I removed the Voodoo one before installing PS2Smart kext.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

Thank you for the hint, I ran the automatic script, you can find it attached in this post... Thank you for the support!

You're using closed source ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext. No support here for it as the author is violating the APSL by not opening the source.
You should contact the author if you plan to use that kext.

Note...
Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.
Read post #2 of the Clover guide for details:

Thank you! Re-installed all my kexts in S/L/E using Kext Wizard, and now the keyboard works... Until I touch the trackpad. If I press/touch the touchpad, my keyboard stops working until a system reboot. I already read something about Voodoo I2C, but for now I just need my keyboard to work... Can I just disable the trackpad? If not, can you please link me a noob-proof guide about patching the DSDT? You can find attached my last debug report. Thank you again.

Ow man, the wizard defaulted S/L/E... Do I have to change wizard? :lol:
Anyway, trying to patch the files using your guide, but it says

"Could not parse external ACPI tables, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS"
