SSD never shows up in installation #79

My XPS13 (9350) stuck at the installing process. It either shows "IOAHCIBlockStoragedriver: Could Not Recover SATA HDD after 5 attempts, terminating." or "busy timeout(0), (240s) kextd wait (0); 'IOAHCIDevice'" on my ssd which should not be a NVme (XP941) . It would boot into the installation screen but it shows no SSD in Disk Utility, only the USB.

I have AHCI enabled and SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext included in the Clover/kext/Other/ Clover folder is using @syscl and my SSD is XP941, and I have once successfully use 10.11 before. I simply don't know what to do.

Well I installed the Mac into a USB and hope to find out what's going wrong. I found that the SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext is never loaded and when I kextload it in Terminal, it shows "kext failed to load not privileged". What can I do now?

I managed to get my XP941 useable now. Since I can boot 10.11.3 before, I extract some kext from 10.11.3 to 10.12.3 and it now can shows the use and install to the SSD. I replaced AppleIntelLpssI2C.kext and AppleIntelLpssI2CController.kext with the 10.11.3 version and it works now.

But when I try to update to 10.11.4, it won't boot again and I believe that the update replace those 2 kext again. What can I do now in order to make it work again? Thanks @syscl
