Thank you Jake Lo.

But still it cannot be booted with following message.

========================================================

ERROR!!! Loading prelinked kernel with status 0x800000000000000e

Error loading kernel cache (0xe)

========================================================

 

Can please you help further?

which version of OS X are you installing?

Are you formatting with APFS if installing HS?

Do you have the correct version of APFS.efi for the version of High Sierra?

You could probably use the latest Clover (4586) and install ApfsDriverloader-64 without having to find the correct version.

Both current macOS (real mac) and installer versions are 10.13.5

I have installed HS on my E7270 with others bootpack.  I have format it with APFS at that time.

But the bootpack worked only when "Legacy Option ROMs" enabled and I couldn't make ethernet adapter work with it.  even I lost the bootpack now.

 

Regarding apfs.efi,

Trying to copy from /usr/standalone/i386 to /Volume/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/

and even trying following command though I do not understand what that means exactly.

====================================================================================================

sudo perl -i -pe 's|\x00\x74\x07\xb8\xff\xff|\x00\x90\x90\xb8\xff\xff|sg' /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/apfs.efi

====================================================================================================

 

Trying to make every case but no luck.

I am using Clover (4586) and tried to install ApfsDriverloader-64 a minute ago.  but no luck again.

I assume that I need to fix my config.plist file about my memory status because my laptop has only one 16gb ram.   isn't this critical?

 

 

and one question.

I am making EFI folder like following.

1. Deleting existing EFI folder in USB but do not delete .IABootFiles folder because Clover doesn't make that folder.  (copied it initially from my mac)

2. install Clover 4586 checking following.

    - Install for UEFI booting only

    - Install Clover in the ESP

    - Drivers64UEFI\AptioMemoryFix-64

    - Drivers64UEFI\ApfsDriverloader-64  (Your direction)

 

and its time to copy E7270 HS bootpack and Generic EFI from 

 

But when I copy the CLOVER folder to my USB,  it gives me three option like replace, merge, stop.

I select replace.

Then,  above AptioMemoryFix-64 and ApfsDriverload er- 64 files are disappeared.

 

Am I doing wrong?

Reinstalled Clover over it and updated the DSDT/SSDT you gave.

But same result again.

However,  I need to tell thank you very much for responding me.   Actually I was spending time for long and you are like a light for me now.  thank you!

Let's try to rebuild the EFI partition. Format it or delete everything including  .IABootFiles folder. Latest Clover fixes that issue.

After delete EFI partition

Copy the generic EFI + the bootpack + updated DSDT/SSDT including Config I attached

Remove the APFS.efi in /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI/

Now install Clover on top of it

    - Install for UEFI booting only

    - Install Clover in the ESP

    - Drivers64UEFI\AptioMemoryFix-64

    - Drivers64UEFI\ApfsDriverloader-64

oh.. I could boot my HS in my SSD with the USB EFI partition.  ( FYI, I have installed previously with others bootpack )

Although I couldn't boot HS installation partition in my USB.

 

Can I do the Post-Installation part with this or I need to install HS from the beginning.?
