Yes, i think so.
I'm on iMac 14.2 since Sierra.
I paused before trying install again for a while. And I think the right way is to try to drop the tables (MATS etc). It helps with same chipset as mine: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/immediate-backtrace-crash-on-install.232279/page-4#post-1590254
Update: I confirm, drop MATS from clover options helped me to start the installer! But I will be able to do installation only a few days later. In any case, I am happy and full of hope.

Oh, good news. I’ll try that tomorrow.

I successfully installed it.
Launched the installer with MATS drop, nv_disable=1, dart=0. There were several reboots.
After the system was booted, updated nvidia web drivers and removed nv_disable=1 flag.

I’m glad you got your install to work!
I tried dropping MATS, DMAR and both together without any luck. Also tried with the boot args you used and also tried to select the “FixHeaders...” option as written herehttps://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/immediate-backtrace-crash-on-install.232279/page-5#post-1599754, didn’t change anything about the error about OsxAptioFixDrv.
Starting to lose hope. It’s been over a week that I’m trying to install HS.

You need boot args for your motherboard which is different from mine. Try to search model name or chipset. People reports about success with beta on similar configuration: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ierra-on-asus-p8p67-rev3.226850/#post-1588333
Also try to change SMBIOS, because your GTX 980 can't works without nvidia web drivers (as I know): https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fix-10-12-nvidia-2-3-4-5-6-7-9-10xx-series-black-screen.203430/

I can’t find anyone with a P8P67 that has HS and listed the boot args used.
I’m using iMac14,2 now so the Nvidia driver won’t be an issue.

Try booting from a USB 2 port to see if it helps. And don't use the exact same config.plist/kexts as you used for your sierra install. Trim them down one by one.

I have been following your posts with interest and noted the boot error images you had uploaded.
- Of the 3 images of boot screen you had posted, 2 are the same according to the Date_Time Stamp on the images and hence I would discard one as duplicate.
- Although you have said the image 2 is after you had replaced the OsxAptioFixDrv with OsxAptioFix2.drv in the EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI folder, the error indicates the folder has been loading the original OsxAptioFix.Drv and hence the same error.
- I have uploaded an image from my collections an OsxAptioFix error caused by true OsxAptioFix2.Drv error for comparison.
- Based on the above observation I suggest you to upload your CLOVER folder from that disk as a compressed file to the Forum for a review and find clues to your installation problem.
