Installing High Sierra on Alienware 15 R3

[RehabMan]

I downloaded those kexts this past weekend so I must have the latest version of your versions.

My builds may not be the latest.
I build them only when I find a need to.

For some reason, that reboot.log must not have been replaces on my computer. Here should be the updated files, I removed and then replaced the files so it should be correct.

preboot.log is only created when you press F2 in Clover.
This is why "Problem Reporting" says to press it every time before collecting EFI/Clover.
With a valid ig-platform-id, you may need to inject EDID.

And you are booting the installer, right?

Yes, I am using the installer. I'll replace the kexts and try again. Ill try injecting EDID and not injecting.

Using EDID didn't work and updating kextd didn't work either. Same result.

Try external monitor in all scenarios (assuming you have an external port connected to the Intel IGPU).
Try Sierra.
Other than that, no further ideas.
