Help needed.
MacBook Pro 17" 2011 GPU disabled with Tiresias GPUkiller, installed high sierra latest
forgot to save a backup
installed catalina with patcher from @dosdude
all seems to be good. after installing i got a window with an offer for 3 updates (postinstall)
I did it and after installing i am in a boot loop now. in Verbose mode got this:
For testing I made a clone with carbon copy cloner
the cloned SSD I pluged in to a 2015 MacBook, same problem
now installed big sur on the patched catalina disk
after that it starts normaly all ok, backed it up with time machine
now i have a new ssd, installed high sierra latest and again on the 17" 2011 installed the @dosdude patcher
again after installation i got the offe with the 3 updates, this time it worked. have a running catalina now on the 17" 2011 macbook pro
I installed high sierra fresh and tried to migrate from the big sur installion, running on the 2015 macbook, but no chance, got message, the source is using a newr installation ...
the problem is it is i want to have the data back into the catalina installation

- new SSD with patched catalina from @dosdude working good on this 17" macbook pro 2011
- the "old" ssd with working high sierra and all data, patched with @dosdude pcatalina patcher, now in bootloop,
