Thanks for the kind scolding. Now posted in new thread.
Look familiar? Clone of my Big Sur 11.4 VM, running on my 5,1 11.2.3 host, upgraded to the Monterey public beta. Came back to this. Could be Parallels not ready for Monterey, but perhaps could be related to our issue? I'm having too much deja-vu...
EDIT to add code. Windowserver, huh. I've had both Big Sur 11.3+ and now Monterey VM's crash often during install/upgrade/boot, but never 11.2.3 or earlier builds.
Code:

Windowserver, huh. I've had both Big Sur 11.3+ and now Monterey VM's crash often during install/upgrade/boot, but never 11.2.3 or earlier builds.

I mentioned something similar, weeks ago, related to difficulties I encountered in updating a virtual 11.2.3 to 11.3 (Parallels Desktop on a Mac Pro 5,1), but the consensus opinion was that the virtual hardware of Parallels had no bearing on the issues we're experiencing on our cMPs when trying to boot the latest releases of Big Sur and, now, with Monterey betas.
Is there any way of sending diagnostic reports to Apple I reported one of my Mac Mini recently, I have been experiencing data corruption 14.4 Mac mini 2014 I sent report to apple say problem old Intel CPUs
2014 Mac mini is a fully supported Mac, with Monterey support, open a RADAR.
Edited to correct the answer, since it's about a 2014 mini and not about an unsupported Mac Pro.

I think Apple is done this to stop people from updating their old Mac. old Mac Pro not supported in the CPU format found a way of doing it in some type of code has anybody still used netbook at all I was think about before old Mac Mac pond of View try it
Some punctuation and actual sense would be helpful to convey your message to the masses.
Posting here, the missing punctuation and the reference to old CPU made me think that he wanted to post about a MacPro, not a MacMini, since the 2014 model continue to be fully software supported and will get Monterey. I've edited my post.
A report of a presumably pyrrhic success of 11.4 booting on a Mac Pro 5,1
As I've said several times, I've been trying unsuccessfully to boot 11.3 and 11.4 for months now. Today, after updating OC to version 0.7.1, I've tried booting 11.4 four times in a row. The first one was a failed attempt, like two dozen or so before today. The second one showed a progress bar that went a little farther than the previous attempt, but also failed miserably. On the third attempt, much to my surprise, I noticed an access to my Blu-ray burner, which is connected to my Titan-Ridge Thunderbolt card, but, a couple of minutes after that, the Mac rebooted. Selecting OC once again, and my 11.4 boot HDD, this time the boot was entirely successful.
I'm now back in my 11.2.3 regular Big Sur. I'm not particularly optimistic that a new attempt to boot 11.4 will be equally successful (getting to the desktop in less than 5 minutes!), but, who knows?
Has anyone else noticed a betterment of the situation because of OC 0.7.1?

No, I am having the same issues. Hit and miss really.
Makes no difference when I remove all connected peripherals or not.
Very surprising however, my two macMini (mid 2012) and two MacBook Pro (mid 2012) updates and runs perfectly.
(in fact, they run faster than the original OS (Lion)
Both run OC 0.7.1 and BS 11.4 and of course not supposed to be compatible. This is really a MP 5,1 issue.

Also, am I correct in thinking that the 3,1 has less stability issues than the 5,1 with Monterey/Big Sur 1.3?
Sorry to add non-technical noise to this thread but this statement cannot be left uncommented.This sucks.
IMO running a production machine on 11.2.3 especially if it is connected to the internet is not a good idea. Apple already patched dozens of security holes with later updates that we cannot apply due to the boot issue in 11.3 and later.
The only safe way to use a 4.1/5.1 cMP currently is to bite the bullet and downgrade to Catalina with the downside of loosing some Big Sur only features and compatibility with newer apps. But then it will be useable as long as Apple releases security updates for Catalina.
Please have some patience. I am sure developers are working on a solution.
Oh yeah, if it’s a professional machine, then it’s a terrible idea. I agree.
It is discussed thoroughly in this thread and as you might have guessed if the exact cause was known, we'd be over it for a long time now.
Hyper-Threading Technology: on Mac Pro 5.1 could this be causing the problem with the race condition
