Hello everyone.
I just received new Lenovo thinkpad l380 laptop.
I have used my clover usb drive (it helps me to install HS on my HP ProBook 430G4). Booted into clover - > select install macOS -> but HS installer doesn't see Lenovo internal NVME drive. I made SSDT_NVMe-Pcc.aml. Doesn't help me.
In the attachement clover folder and disasembled SSDT_NVMe-Pcc.aml. clover folder contains dumped ACPI table, ketxs, patched SSDT_NVMe-Pcc.aml, and config used. Sorry for my bad English.

SSDT_NVMe-Pcc.aml not applicable/not needed in High Sierra.

It is likely your mistake is failing to set SATA mode to AHCI (it is probably set RAID/iRST, which is not compatible with macOS NVMe support).

Change BIOS setting to AHCI. Remove SSDT_NVMe-Pcc.aml.

preboot also mentions:
HP ProBook 430 G4

maybe f2 / f4 was't pressed on the Thnkpad?

Thank you but I was trying to find SATA settings previously without success. Maybe this laptop incompatible with macos. As i can understand there is no way to fix it?
 
Done.
New preboot.log and dsdt dump.

NVMe present:
Code: 
0:108  0:000  PCI (00|03:00.00) : 17AA 0003 class=010802

What do you see in Disk Utility?
What is the output of 'diskutil list' in Terminal?
