Wow what a struggle with 11.6 but now Monterey is perfect
Update from 11.2.3 > 11.5.2 went fairly well, thanks to latebloom, a few forced reboots and then it was super stable. Update from 11.5.2 to 11.6 was a catastrophe. I tried everything, OCLP, Martin’s, different latebloom settings, pcie-SSD, normal bays, stripped my computer from everything but the drive, even different 5.1 CMPs (6C, 12C). After 2 days I finally came to the desktop once (see attached latebloom check) but not again. Monterey updates via system update also always failed. So I decided upon a leap of faith and made a Monterey Beta 6 clean install with OCLP: Installed a Fenvi BCM94360CD Bluetooth/WLAN pcie-card using these instructions, created a Monterey Test SSD (USB installer as described in OCLP is also possible), put my main 2TB SSD into bay 1, formatted it with Monterey disk utility (to be sure to have the latest APFS version) and installed Monterey. Went super easy, only one forced shutdown and cold boot at the last boot. Then migrated all my data back from a CCC backup via migration assistant. After everything ran well in bay 1, I put the 2TB system-SSD back onto my AccelsiorS pcie card and everything runs super smoothly since then for a week now. Warm boots don’t work (maybe I’ll try to tweak my latebloom settings but I can also live with that), cold boots are 100% reliable and system is perfectly stable. Won’t go back to Big Sur. Attached are both my last Big Sur 11.6 and current Monterey 12B6 latebloom checks. Also works on my second 6C CMP 5.1 and on my 6.1 MBAir
