Sorry to be like a stuck record, but has anyone come across their SD card reader not working, especially other 9.2 MBP users? I am trying to discover if it is something I have done or not. If not, is there anyone that can help with not being able to put a kext into the extension folder?
Got a tip for us?

macOS 12 Monterey on Unsupported Macs Thread

I occasionally run into this and have to register a kext (CtlnaSDXC.kext) to get the SD reader working until the next OS patch/upgrade. I do not readily have the link but it should be available somewhere on the forum here.
Does anyone else have problems with Japanese input methods in Monterey? It behaves so erratical that I can't even describe it properly. When I enter text in Romaji, most of the time the first syllable is skipped before the conversion to hiragana starts. It will always convert to hiragana, even if I choose katakana. The space key erases the last character instead of confirming the word. Backspace often does nothing at all. I have played around with settings like live-conversion etc., but nothing helps.
I'm just assuming that it has something to do with OpenCore, but I don't have a Mac that supports Monterey to verify.

macOS Montereyに対応したバージョン 3.0.1 をリリース。(Version 3.0.1 has been released to ensure compatibility with macOS Monterey.) What hardware are you using? computer info, model number, etc, and what version of OCLP?
What is my problem with patch?

I´d say try a new USB stick or at least reformat/erase it. And re-download the installer from Apple.
We hear reports like yours from time to time, and mostly problems are related to media (stick or download).
Still persistant? I had this once back in 12.4 beta-something and never again with any 12.5 beta and tend to use the createinstallmedia command in terminal...
Hey! I used a OCLP version after 0.2.5 and rendered my MBP 9,2 useless, I had to reinstall the macOS starting with Catalina... `so I have decided to use 0.2.5 which gave no problem whatsoever. Still using it without a hitch
Since there is always the chance to mis-configure any tool and you seem to be rather alone with that strange "problem" of newer OCLPs, I´d wager a guess and bet that you should check the application and configuration of OCLP and how to use it properly on your machine. Staying on 0.2.5 will not be the solution forever as you already miss certain functions and for newer macOS it will break any time...Hey!

Also: Why did you have to go back to Catalina for installing Monterey (or Big Sur?) again? A properly set up USB boot / install stick with i.e. 12.4 or 12.5 beta 2 will absolutely suffice.
I’ve seen it asked a few times but no full answer on if it’s possible and if so, how to make it happen. I’m also trying to RAID0 my 2011 iMac with two 1TB SSD’s while using OCLP on Monterey.
I’ve been using OCLP for several months on one single SSD and have been very happy. On an everlasting effort to keep my ancient mac running as fast as possible, I dropped in a second identical SSD in place of my 2.5TB spinning disk (extra storage) and planned to configure them as a striped boot drive. Got all the hardware setup last night and went to install a fresh copy of OCLP only to get shutdown after selecting my array. “You may not install to this volume because it is part of an AppleRAID”.
I could have sworn I’ve even seen benchmarks of people showing blackmagic screenshots of systems in this configuration running well and almost double the throughput.
Sorry if the answer is deep in this thread and I missed it though I did search but didn’t find a conclusive post and/or a how-to.

Hello Pachnes,
I have an iMac 1322 with 1 TB fusion drive, running Monterey 12.5 beta2, under OCLP 0.4.8n. Install OCLP on the 2TB disk.
Hope this helps
I followed this, but my iMac just booted back to the USB installer. I tried a clean install to an external USB 2T drive. Even if I forced it to boot from the drive, I would get the circle with a cross through it indicating no valid EFI.
Look at post #6417. I was advised to install on the SSD, not on the HDD. It may not be the only solution, but it works.
12.5 RC out now, build 21G69.
...hope Finder and other bugs "introduced" with beta 4/5 are gone now.

I have a dual boot iMac 13,2 (Monterey 12.5 beta2 and Catalina on separate partitions).
What graphic card do you have in your iMac 13,1?
Thanks for that information; last time I tried an SSD install, I got a "prohibitory sign", but never had a problem installing OCLP on the main (internal) drive in a fusion configuration. Next OS update, I will try to install OCLP on the flash-drive portion on the 1TB Fusion Drive and share results.

RC 12.5 no issues OCLP 0.48n, this could be very well the last update for Monterey, looking forward with MacOS Ventura OCLP in the near future if possible, it will take some time.
I think I accidentally deleted the apple folder from my EFI partition😐. I got an error when trying to rebless my opencore and so I started digging and found that now when I mount the EFI and open its contents, I see a folder that says system instead of the APPLE, BOOT, OC. Is this bad? How bad? What should I do? Is there a fix for this? is it possible to copy the folder from the EFI from another drive in my system?

Actually, the APPLE folder can be deleted as it carries the firmware updates that we on unsupported machines do not want. System folder has to stay, though. See that you re-copy the correct OC contents and folder.
