ACPI is enabled, vt-d disabled at my bios settings... where do i have to enter der code? directly into the plist file?

You need to edit your config.plist with text edit or similar

Do I have to change some parts or simply add the code? Where do I have to enter the code exactly? May i run into trouble, boot failure for example if something goes wrong, if i enter the following code?

Isn't there any other workaround to get rid of this problem? I repeat my Problem:

I still stuck at the Apple logo :(
I tried verbose mode, still no luck, see attached file...

Here is my complete config.plist, any suggestions why I stuck at the logo?

I give up.
Since
  • the guide from post #1 is definitely not working for me
  • nobody can help me with that little issue and
  • I'm still stucking at the apple logo
I will stay at 10.12.6 and wait for the official guide to update on high sierra.

It looks like you still haven't dropped mats...

from the clover boot menu you can drop mats under options ACPI...

Thanks - now the installation worked! I guess I just need to fix the sound.
But most important: How can i drop mats continiuseley?

Do I have to embed this code:
Code: 
<key>APCI</key>
<key>DropTables</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Signature</key>
<string>MATS</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>Signature</key>
<string>DMAR</string>
</dict>
</array>
...into my config.plist? If yes, where exactly?
Thanks!
