10.13 not booting after successful install

as the title indicates, i'm having a lot of trouble getting high sierra working on my pc

 

i created a 10.13 installer usb, booted into its installer through clover installed and even problemlessly transferred my files from my 10.12 install over to 10.13, but yet i can't boot into it

 

 

in the attached image you can see where precisely it locks up (it might be important to note that DSMOS never arrives during the boot sequence (or at least the part of the boot sequence that actually happens before it does locks up))

 

 

one thing i find weird is the fact that my 10.12 install (which is on another partition of the same drive that 10.13 is installed to) still boots with functioning sound despite me having completely removed applealc.kext from my clover install

 

 

my config.plist is here: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1RjfaLZ9zqT-N12kZXbX26xvC0QzMSBSZ(putting it on google drive because this website apparently doesnt want me to upload config.plist files, god knows why)

 

i'm running clover 4297

 

my specs:

 

intel core i7 3770

gigabyte geforce gtx 760

16gb ram

256gb sandisk ssd

2tb seagate sshd

750gb western digital

1tb western digital

 

 

 

i'm pretty much at my wit's end here so i'd be glad if anyone knew what the hell is going on

Hello. You can try this way:

 

1) boot your PC (even from Sierra 10.12 will be fine)

2) open Terminal and type: diskutil list

3) spot your EFI partition (it should be a 209Mb volume), it could be something as /dev/disk0s1    Be careful to operate on the RIGHT VOLUME

4) from your Terminal window type: diskutil zeroDisk /dev/diskXsX  again be careful to erase your EFI partition and not other volume(s) !!!!

5) reformat your erased EFI partition by typing:   sudo newfs_msdos -v EFI /dev/diskXsX  (change XsX with your EFI partition identifier)

6) re-install Clover on your new-formatted DOS EFI partition

7) close your Terminal window and reboot
