[Help needed] HP Spectre X360 hangs during the initial boot

Hey guys! I'm trying to install Catalina on my HP Spectre x360 Gem cut, i7 8565U, 16 GB DDR RAM, 512 GB NVME disk, internal graphics HD 620, 4K display. It also has two thunderbolt ports, just FYI.

I've tried to use OpenCore boot and did all the configuration as per https://dortania.github.io/

This is where I'm stuck at (see Panic.txt below), Please feel free to drop ideas/hints or anything that you think can help. It seems like a thunderbolt issue, I've wanted to disable thunderbolt just to get the thing running, but I couldn't find any such setting in the BIOS. There are no advanced settings :-(

Any help would be highly appreciated.
