The 1st approach is to spoof the VESA driver so system will boot, but you need to fully disable it after you installed the OS. You still need to patch for USB, graphics, audio...etc. etc. The 2nd approach, you're able to disable the discrete card with SSDT-5, but you still need to include the other SSDT where the _OFF method is declare which you included in SSDT-6. What you should have done is just add the patched SSDT-5, enable autoMerge, but don't drop the OEM. You still need to patch the DSDT for USB, audio, graphics...of course that could be done in the Config too. You'll also have to use the rename of GFX->IGPU, HDAS->HDEF...etc etc.

@FaserF Looking at IOReg file in your debug file shows some strange issue. I see GFX0 rather than IGPU, so I guess you're collecting the debug while booting without the DSDT/SSDT? or you're booting from a different source as Bronteck mentioned above. Anyway, here's a new bootpack for BIOS A19. Replace the contents into /EFI/Clover. Then replace the DSDT/SSDT with the attached into /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched. Files patched from your origin folder. Leave out DisableTurboBoostBattery.kext. If you have it already in /L/E, remove it Repair permission and rebuild cache. E7450_FaserF.zip
