Got only this After reboot (dont boot anymore)

Installation, setup and patching has working great

on MacBook Pro 8,3 and iMac early 2009

Same! Did your mac become high resolution while you're installing Monterey?

I had the same issue on my MacBookPro10,2 and what someone told me to do in a server was to turn on auto-login on the OS before installing. I had to reinstall Catalina, turn on auto-login, and then install Monterey over the Cat installation without deleting it.

I think so.

after the installation of monterey, the Mac boots fully normaly. Only after patching not. I give it a last chance. I do reinstall monterey and activate auto-login.

EDIT: i give up. I reinstall monterey and while set auto-Login the Screen goes black and shows me the wheel.

Just bought it and it works on BigSur and also Monterey.
Thank you again jackluke for the info.

Hi, in my case MacBook7,1 macOS Monterey is installed, / Post-Install Volume Patch / does not completely install Nvidia-Tesla-Fermi patches / for example IOSurface.kext is not present, Frameworks is not present / and after reboot does not enter the system displays errors. Am I doing wrong? 😔
I'll try to install macOS Catalina and turn on auto-login, reinstall macOS Monterey on top of Catalina./OCLP Version 0.2.3 / 🤔
I read in the OCLP manual that non-metallic GPUs no longer have working acceleration patches: Nvidia Tesla and Fermi GPUs / The following machines cannot get graphics acceleration at all in Monterey, only basic framebuffer and brightness control (excluding iMac8.1 / 9.1 and MacBook5,2):
MacBook7,1 and older
But I hope there will be a working Nvidia Tesla and Fermi acceleration patch😌🙌🤞

I give up, too!

Hello everyone, I installed MacOS Monterey on top.
There is no complete acceleration of graphics as written in the OCLP instructions and no bluetooth. Sound, internet, wi-fi works.
Thanks again khronokernel, dhinakg, Dosdude1, ASentientBot and all developers😊

Installing Big Sur or Monterey on top of a dosdude1 Catalina installation is a thing now? Is there some advantage for older hardware if done in this order vs. clean install of open core?

You can try it if you want but it’s not a supported OCLP configuration. Other patchers patch things differently which could lead to unexpected outcomes when then using OCLP with it.

The AutoLogin fix works on Monterey on VirtualBox. I have not been able to activate iCloud though - I haven't been able to find the right incantation there. I can get iCloud to activate on Kernal Virtual Machines but I haven't been able to get Monterey to install. I know what I need to do to try the installation but I'm not precisely sure how to get there. Monterey runs quite nicely on VirtualBox with my Intel box.

If you are at the expense of my testing, then it makes sense for me. I do not argue with anyone or prove it. All versions of installer patchers are good, it depends on the hardware of the computer, you all know better than me
Installed a clean system macOS Catalina (OCLP) and installed macOS Monterey (OCLP) on top. At the moment, there are no advantages for MacBook7,1 - that's just my opinion. But Big Sur is fine.
Modern Apple computers are certainly better, but not everyone can afford it, everyone knows and understands. For example, it is a great joy for me that programmers (authors) are doing the impossible, possible.
Spending their precious time, experience, creativity and talent for ordinary people like me and others. Taking such a reasonable step, not everyone is able to just help people. I only admire and once again from the bottom of my heart I sincerely thank and wish Good to everyone.
This is my favorite Hobby, probably those who are here are also interested in macOS 12.0 on unsupported Macs.

MBP 9,2 non-retina updated with upcoming OCLP 0.2.3 GUI patcher looks promising indeed, everything works so far including Photobooth, Wifi, bluetooth, handoff, apple watch unlock, maybe next Monterey beta release AppleTV library streaming movies gets fixed. Thanks again.

Hey everyone! Managed to update my MBP 9,2 to Monterey Beta 1 using OCLP 0.2.2 and everything is working perfect except there is no 'glass' effect on my dock and menu bar... Patched for the Intel HD4000 but maybe I missed something? I have used the patch right after the install and then again after removing the autologin... So far I find it very 'snappy' and a bit quicker then macOS Big Sur Beta 5. Thank you for your help and support, AMAZINGLY great work in keeping 'alive' these 'old' machines

Hey guys. I have a 12.2 iMac with Metal GPU and updated BT/Wifi card (BCM94331CD), but bluetooth refuses to work. Bluetooth only worked at the end of the installation macOS Monterey, but after the first reboot it stopped working completely. Wifi works fine. I did all the tests I could and in all cases Bluetooth only works at the end of the installation until the first reboot. In macOS Big Sur everything works perfectly as native.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

no glass effect? check Reduce Transparency" Setting might've been ticked under "Accessibility", in "System Preferences"

Got it! I guess it was by mistake. Thank you sir!

I installed successfully Monterey beta on my late 2012 MacBook Pro Retina 13 using OCLP 0.2.2.
I created new volume for Monterey beta.
During install, resolution is high and GUI is very slow. After finish install, desktop was shown without login screen. And I applied Post-Install Volume Patch.
So far, everything are working fine.

For those on non-OpenCore legacy Patcher systems, be it Micropatcher or a hackintosh, I've written some documentation on how to run our root patcher on these machines:

How to Root Patch with non-OpenCore Legacy Patcher Macs/Hackintoshes · Issue #348 · dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher

As requested a few times by both Micropatcher and Hackintosh users, decided to write a mini guide on root patching with non-OCLP'd machines. Note that we do not officially support non-OCLP machines...

github.com

As mentioned both previously and in the issue, we don't offically support Hackintoshes or third party patchers so bug reports are most likely going to be invalidated. However our root patcher has no model, patcher or OpenCore check so as long as SIP and potentially AMFI are corrected, there's little reason our patcher would fail

How did you make your graphic card visible at about his Mac ?

Hi! I haven't done anything special. I have followed exactly the directions from this video:

Hope it helps...

I'll give it a watch later on to see if I can use the approach.

macOS 12 Beta 2 (21A5268h) has been seeded to developers, as with last year, InstallAssistant will likely be delayed a day:
