Hi Guys,

Recently, I've been following the Dortania's Guide and every time a try to boot the pre-installation, its get stuck on:
ApplePS2Controller: Notification consumer published: ApplePS2Controller
ApplePS2Controller: Notification consumer published: ApplePS2Keyboard

I can not boot into the installer no matter what i try, i tried clear NVRAM but nothing's seem to work at all.

I'd love some help from you guys!
Below is my EFI folder and the error that i got:

Below is my EFI folder and the error that i got:
Disable ProtectMemoryRegions quirk.
Remove SMC kexts, except for the VirtualSMC.
You're using two VooodInput. Use only one from VoodooI2C.

Why using iMac SMBIOS when you have a mobile hardware?

Thanks for the reply.
I have make the changes like yours but the problem still exists. And sorry for the misunderstanding, i forgot to change my profile settings so i'm using a Kabe Lake R CPU but i don't know if i make the change correctly so here is my efi folder:

Nevermind that, i realized that those 2 error are coming from the wrong order (VoodooI2C.kext) and with your helps, i manage to solve those 2 error. But one more error occurs which is:
ApplePS2Controller: Notification consumer published: VoodooI2CPrecisionTouchpadHIDEventDriver
And EFI folder and the image is below:

Disable those. When you boot into system, then inject.
 
Sorry but disable what? And how do I inject .
Disable I2C kexts and enable them later after you're done with the installation.
 
After I disable VoodooI2C, VoodooI2CServices, VoodooGPIO, VoodooInput, VoodooI2CHID, and use VoodooInput from VoodooPS2Controller, the pre-installation print out " pci ( build ... ) flags 0x20c3080 " then the old problem has reproduced, which's:
ApplePS2Controller: Notification consumer published: ApplePS2Controller
ApplePS2Controller: Notification consumer published: ApplePS2Keyboard

Here is my efi:

Edit: And idk whats " pci (build ...) flags 0x20c3080 " means

Is your BIOS up to date?

Disable EnableWriteUnprotector and enable RebuildAppleMemoryMap and SyncRuntimePermissions.
Disable IgnoreInvalidFlexRatio.

The kext loadoing order is not correct. Also, change the SMBIOS to MBP15.2. The Drivers loading order is also not correct
