Getting errors. Appreciate any help to get past these and get to the installation stage.

Your configuration is not as per the guide.

Start here:

Thanks for taking the time to address my issue. Rebuilt the entire EFI and config.plist following the directions to the '"T", still get the same errors. See attached Boot Log and config.plist.

It seems the Real Time Clock is lost looking at the logs.

It appears that the HP firmware is overriding OpenCore's settings at runtime.
The config is correct but something in the HP firmware is overriding OpenCore's settings at runtime.

The two smoking guns:

• x86legacyap.im4m — firmware overriding SecureBootModel
• root-dmg=file:///BaseSystem/BaseSystem.dmg — firmware injecting recovery boot path

Following the Opencore KabyLake Guide which is now 3 years old, creates potential conflicts for HP Systems based on Kaby Lake. Specifcally:

Configuration Section	Kaby Lake Guide Recommendation	What The HP Z2 Mini G3 Actually Needs	Why the Difference
BIOS Setting: Runtime Power Management	Disabled	Enabled (as per the GitHub repo)	The documented BIOS settings are correct for this specific HP model. The guide's suggestion is a generic one.
ACPI SSDTs	SSDT-EC-USBX.aml, SSDT-PLUG.aml	Same as guide.	Have these, which is correct.
Booter Quirks	EnableWriteUnprotector =TRUE	DisableVariableWrite = True ProtectUefiServices = True SyncRuntimePermissions = True	This is the most critical mismatch. The guide's generic settings do not include the HP-specific NVRAM/RTC fixes. The system requires these to stop the CMOS error and allow kernel patching.
Kernel Patches	(None listed)	RTC Fix for HP kernel patch	The guide is for a standard Kaby Lake system. The HP has a proprietary firmware quirk that needs this extra patch.
Kernel Quirks	XhciPortLimit = True	XhciPortLimit = False	The guide's setting is for older macOS. For Sonoma, this must be False to prevent USB panics.
DeviceProperties (iGPU)	(Not specified in text, but implied)	AAPL,ig-platform-id = 00001659	The guide focuses on boot, not post-install graphics. You need this for full acceleration after installation.
SMBIOS (PlatformInfo)	(Not specified, but likely iMac18,3 or Macmini8,1)	iMac19,1	Macmini8,1 is for mobile CPUs. iMac19,1 is a much closer hardware match for the desktop i7-7700K and is natively supported by Sonoma.
UEFI Quirks	IgnoreInvalidFlexRatio = False	IgnoreInvalidFlexRatio = True	This is an HP-specific requirement. Many HP systems need this quirk enabled regardless of CPU generation to handle MSR (Model-Specific Register) locks correctly.
USB Kexts	USBInjectAll.kext	Custom USB Map (USBToolBox.kext + UTBMap.kext)	USBInjectAll is deprecated and a potential source of instability. A custom map is the modern, stable standard.

Add SSDT-RTC0 and then check. Ensure the Secure Boot is disabled in BIOS. You should be able to boot. If not, attach your EFI.
