Installation proces stuck at "Start Randomseed End Randomseed +++++++"

[Timmuzz]

Hello all,

I'm trying to update my Lenovo Thinkpad T530 to High Sierra. For this reason, I created a bootable USB using Unibeast, with UEFI & Nvidia boot settings.
As I'm starting the "Install High Sierra" from the Clover menu, the installation starts it's process.
However, it remains stuck after the following lines:
"Start randomseed.
End randomseed.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"

When I change my BIOS settings to boot in Legacy mode (instead of UEFI), the installer does get to the installation window.
But whenever using Legacy BIOS settings, my mouse does not respond to any action (external and internal mouses).

I've googled the entire internet but I can't seem to find a solution to this problem. Hope one of you can provide me a solution to get to the installation of High Sierra!

Motherboard chipset: Intel Mobile QM77
CPU: Intel Core i7-3610QM

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply!
I can not find any help in the FAQ or laptop guide.
As I can't boot the system, I can't run the tool to generate the Problem Reporting files ..

Thank you for your reply, RehabMan!

As it states you must be able to boot in order to start the tool, I had no clue on How to collect the Problem Reporting files. Is there any other way I can provide some additional information to make my problem more clear?

The FAQ is very clear regarding required PR files in the case you cannot boot.
Please read it carefully.

Okay so this is a picture of the point where it gets stuck. I tried to collect the EFI/Clover folder by pressing F2, F4. But where do I find the Clover folder afterwards? Haven’t found it up till this moment, please let me know so I can provide you some more information! Thanks in advance!
