I can say that I use to test Monterey in an external SSD, but connected to a SATA port via Pcie. In the final boot, the volume "Macos Installer" (or something like that) does not appears. Same drive, connected to USB, and do appears. Then I can continue the installation.
Got a tip for us?

Are you sure that your Apple default Messages app runs well, without any scrolling issue?There may be other problems with that iMac? On a 2 GHz Mini with the same GPU, Messages performs as expected w/o issues. Use it numerous times, daily.
Scrolls, send and receive videos, numerous contacts, big family, others. Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey all work the same.
My Messages app scrolling only works with Catalina. Big Sur & Monterey are all very sluggish when scrolling to the point that it's not really practical to use it.Scrolls, send and receive videos, numerous contacts, big family, others. Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey all work the same.
Would you have another close look under Big Sur & Monterey, when you have time? I am curious to know because I really want to have this Messages app working under Big Sur / Monterey.
And ironically the scrolling functions correctly if the Post-Volume Patch (non-metal acceleration) is NOT applied. But obviously this is not practical neither since other apps like safari need this patch.

This is currently my top priority. Not able to give an estimate of how long it'll take, but it really annoys me too and I hope to fix it soon.
Thank you so much for the help and very pleased to know that you have made this your top priority and have been working on a solution. Sincerely wish miracles will eventually prevail, through your dedication and talent. Your non-metal GPU acceleration have saved a lot of Macs so far.
All the best.
Miles of messages just not iPhone smooth, not enough to complain or be put-off.

I am glad this scrolling issue does not bother you that much. But I am just very irritated by this slow and stuttering scrolling issue.
With these most primitive of unsupp Macs learning to use what is given seems appropriate? Dortania&Co. eventually sorts things out. ?It's good to know. The beauty of this world is that everyone is different
I like my iMacs very much, particularly the screens, which are far better than some of the new monitors and costed about the sameWith these most primitive of unsupp Macs learning to use what is given seems appropriate? Dortania&Co. eventually sorts things out. ?
So I am planning to keep them for a long time. For the purpose of my user-case, nothing fancy and no games, it's more than adequate. I'd go so far as to say that they are superb, with the help from all the developers here.

So apologies if this is posted somewhere updated MacBook Pro mid 2014 latest beta normally it gets stuck (assuming it’s Kepler patches) resulting in holding power button rebooting safe mode applying patches . I installed latest beta holding shift button which means I didn’t have to power down I could do the install completely it even had the time remaining countdown which I’ve not had since installing Monterey so my long way of asking a question is this is there with opencore (or other app) to force boot safe mode everytime rather than holding shift through a install meaning I can do the 2gb OTA auto into safe mode patch no more switching the machine off at the Apple logo. Thanks
Hello everyone!
Now I have another problem. I got an iMac from a colleague in mid-2010. I would also like to update it on Monterey. Everything installed the patch executed because of the EFI boot everything works!
But the WLAN card is on, but cannot find a network! What do I have to do so that the part finds a WLAN network. The interface "runs" but finds nothing!

Check the relevant chapter of OpenCore Legacy Patcher's online documentation if your iMac is perhaps affected by this:
In other words, go to the Network pref pane in the system preferences and add your Wi-Fi network manually by entering its SSID and its WPA2/3 password so that it appears in the list of known Wi-Fi networks. Check if that lets your iMac successfully connect to your Wi-Fi network.
just wonder if the wifi works with High Sierra?
Did you apply the Post-Install Volume Patch after the installation of Monterey?

Okay, which iMac model exactly do you have (Apple -> About this Mac)?

The MacBookPro4,1's second internal drive is still connected via PATA / IDE and AppleIntelPIIXATA, the driver that was deployed by OCLP to re-enable PATA / IDE devices, is no longer functional in Monterey for yet unknown reasons. This is documented in OCLP GitHub issue #707. Feel free to join the analyzing efforts there!

Apparently, ASentientbot's menu shadow fix ?has been rolled into the current OCLP_032 Nightly TUI. The ghost in the machine is gone. ?
