So, I just got a Dell XPS 9370, and I'm currently trying to install macOS Mojave 10.14.2, I used a Clover Folder from an existing XPS 9360 guide, and even if it does seem to work, it really doesn't. What I mean is, I am able to reach to the installation screen to install macOS, however, if I try to use Disk Utility to format the drive, it often kernel panics. If I can successfully format the drive for installation and reached the installation procedure, it kernel panics after it says 2 mins remaining. Sometimes, I can't even reach the install screen at all, and if I do, the trackpad won't work. I'm very lost, I have made a lot of changes to the Clover config.plist with no success whatsoever. What are the changes I have to make to my EFI folder? (EFI Folder is uploaded) Thank You!

Dell XPS 9370 Spec (If needed):
Intel Core i5-8550U
16GB 2133MHz RAM
Intel UHD 630 Integrated Graphics
SAMSUNG PM981 500GB

P.S: I have done UEFI Variable Patching, and have tried other EFI folders, but the same problem occurs.

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html
The required files and data are fully detailed in the last question in the FAQ:
"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"
 
I see., yes I have read those, but the only problem I have here is the Kernel Panics I get when trying to install macOS, I can't provide any stop codes or screenshots due to the computer just rebooting once it happens. As per the clover EFI, I have attached it as a Zip file.

I have used those guides but I’m still having the same issues, clover EFI is attached because I’m completely lost on configuring it. If anyone would help that would be awesome thank you!
 
PM981 needs to be replaced, not compatible

Oh, thanks for your reply. I would do that, however, I do not want my warranty voided yet, is there any patch I could use?

PM981 will be unstable even if it is patched
