Hi, sorry, the nickname is SurPlus, the function it serves is RDRAND. Can be found here (see screenshot).
Also, can you take a photo of the few lines when your 2nd boot stalls?
Got a tip for us?

Spoofless means no moderate, minimal, advanced spoofing, means no spoofing at all. spoof-less!
If you want spoofing back just pick moderate, it was the 0.3.1 default.
Thank you so much, sir. For your time and patience.
Hi Larsvonhier, thanks for pointing me to this item. I saw that entry, but of course didn't fiddle with it, as each and every step or item is mission-critical.
I will do as per your suggestion and take the photo of the lines of code in verbose mode, right before upgrade process seems to get stuck in some strange idle mode.
I'll report back and hope you will find the time to look into it. that'd be rightfully appreciated
P.S.: do you suggest using OCLP v.0.3.1 or 0.3.2.?
It would heöp a great deal of understanding the process, if you could share, how Y o u were able to put Monterey onto your MBP4,1. Like I said, we have the same machines (almost).
I went from Catalina (dosdude1's patcher) to Big Sur 11.6.1 and 11.6.2 via OCLP_GUI 0.3.1, stuck for now trying to upgrade to Monterey 12.0.1 via OCLP 0.3.1 TUI, then 12.1 both OCLP 0.3.1 AND 0.3.2, all versions (TUI, TUI OFFLINE, GUI)

Any update to this issue? seem to be getting the same with general release? very odd
Cheers and long life to OCLP !
Successful 12.1 (21C52) update with software update (12 GB) on a Mac mini late 2012 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 quad core. On this machine I of course used Chapter "3. Post-Install Volume Patch" to run my second screen, graphics acceleration and all the rest. OCLP version 0.3.1
** I just repatched it with OCLP 0.3.3 and everything is ok again.

Well, what a disappointment... Was so excited to read this different approach on 0.3.2.
But after making a fresh install on my MacBook Pro 17 from 2010, nothing has changed, still graphics glitches everywhere, no smooth scrolling on basic apps...
You can go into accessibility and turn transparency off, helps a little with menu glitches, but where is the fun in that?
It's a deal breaker for me.
My advise for people with machines from 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, stick with macOS Catalina, I will.
It's just way to glitchy for everyday use in my opinion. It's not a pleasant experience.

Unless you upgrade the graphics card to a metal supported one, mainly for iMacs though.
I am satisfied with Big Sur, and increasingly Monterey, on my mid 2009 MBP5,2 17“.
If I understand the changes from OCLP 0.3.1 to 0.3.2 correctly it is about simplifying the software needed to install and run BS or MR on unsupported machines; not about end user experience. This depends, as before, on SkyLight and other essentials included in OCLP, like in 0.3.1.
So I didn‘t expect fun, other than the pleasure to still have an old but reliable 17“ workhorse. It doesn‘t need to look pretty anymore. If I could plug in a Metal GPU, of course I would; but that‘s not possible.
I still have a Catalina installation on an external SSD which I keep up to date. But I like BS and MR better.
A new MBP with Apple silicon? Probably, later next year.
What reason does the installer give when you click the greyed-out HD icon?

Looks like the new Virtual Machine (rather than spoofing) method doesn‘ cover your case.
If you boot the installer with 0.3.1, or make a new 0.3.2 set to do minimal spoofing (I think I saw a post on this).
Strange because yesterday I successfully installed 11.6.2 on an MBP5,2 with 0.3.2. 12.1 yet to be tried with 0.3.2.
The update to Mac OS 12.1 went fine on my 2012 15" unibody MacBook Pro. But now Google Chrome doesn't work properly. Websites don't want to load or display properly, often with a big block in the center, even as I scroll. I tried updating Chrome to the latest version, but that didn't help. I can't even clear my browsing data now!
Anyone else having the same issue? Perhaps I just need to uninstall and then re-install Chrome?

None is the new default on all systems not having a post 2016 AMD metal GPU installed.
Please try a PRAM reset on reboot and report back if the OTA update becomes visible.
Ohh, I should try that! I did the initial patching after putting Mac OS 12.0.1 on this Mac back in October. But let me try the other post-install patching...
UPDATE: That did the trick! Thanks!

Changed spoof settings, it changed them back after reboot. Tried twice along with reinstalling 0.3.2 after changes.
Reverted to 0.3.1 and the installer is working without a hitch. Looks like maybe a change in the latest 0.3.2 from yesterday has a hiccup on it.
None doesn’t cut it on my system. The full installer doesn’t work and complains about a firmware update. Minimal is required for everything to work properly.
I updated my late 2012 iMac and then updated OCLP to 0.3.2. I then ran the post install patch. All seems to be running smooth and well. The only issue I currently have is I receive the following message every time I reboot and log in to my account. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I can click Cancel or Open and everything loads just fine.
