I have just installed Monterey 12.6 on my MacPro 5,1 with a Kepler GT560 card. Everything is Ok except that I have no graphics acceleration. The post installation patch fails.

I have the exact same issue as above. The only difference is that instead of referring to ATAPIStorage and .kpi.libkern.
I get :
Unable to resolve dependencies: 'com.apple.GeForce' names a dependency on 'com.apple.IOAcceleratorFamily2', which was not found.
I have tried a lot of things to no avail : SIP is disabled, booted in safe mode, Onyx, Terminal command to delete Kext cache. I am at the point where I am thinking of trying an OS restore.

Any ideas ?
Thanks !

Revert patches, reboot, try patching again. If the patching process fails again please post the error message you get from the OCLP GUI...

(and this is surely not exact the same issue, all natural languages are so powerful, there is even a distinction between similar and equal - dasselbe und das gleiche ist nicht dasselbe!)

I only have an old spinning 80 GB hard drive that I can put in an USB 2.0 Sharkoon dock to install macOS Catalina on. This can be very time consuming. The solution with the *.scap file seemed quite easy.

I‘ve got to read about any consequences of resetting NVRAM en PRAM in combination with OCLP. I’ve also read that using the first aid function of Disk Utility on the boot partition can me a solution. But for that I also want to read first before I perform this. If somebody can gave me advise in this, that would be great.

good luck man! ever since Apple started bundling firmware updates I would not dare to extract it and apply individually, as a matter of fact when I downloaded initial Catalina installation the firmware patch was in the second security update...

yes, it took me an hour (downloading Catalina & updates on a not great connection but using USB3 SSD) - spinning drive and fast connection would take probably same for installation - but I still have a working Mac ;)

Has anyone tried installing OCL Patcher over DosDudes Catalina Patcher? Would it work? Trying to install to Monterey on my MacBook Pro 5.1. Had to use Dosdude's Patcher to get started. El Capitan wouldn't pull up the assets for OCL

The answer is: I just did it and everything works on my MacBook Pro 5.1. KhronoKernal and DosDude are geniuses.

Everything works?... Do Maps, Photos, iMovie work too?... I have a MacBook Pro 7.1 and had tried to install Monterey, but I went back to Catalina with the dosdude1 patcher because with Monterey the Mac was running slow, overheating, the fan would turn on often, iMovie and other apps that use "Metal" they didn't work, etc.

You're right except Photos works, Maps apparently doesn't work. I don't see iMovie in the Applications. I'm sure KhronoKernal will work this out. I'm thankful everything works to my satisfaction and gives me a way to put Monterey on my long vintagized machine..

Wow, congrats to their amazing work.

I wonder if how much the performance penalty will be for non AVX 2.0 machines, Monterey already feels too much for my dual core IVB to handle.

Oops! Spoke too soon. There are some websites I cannot log into. Some I can, like this one. 0.4.6 worked perfectly on my Mac Pro 5.1. I used the latest version on my MacBook Pro 5.1. I think I’ll try to reload Monterey with an earlier version of OCLP.

Did you ever find a solution to this?
 
We are trying to get migration assistant working here on a Macbook Pro 4,1 and iMac 9,1.
When having 12.6 installed with OCLP, after migration is done 100% and reboot we always get a Kernel panic and it wont boot into MacOS anymore.

I don't know how to fix this.

Also with a fresh made user account, and applied the OCLP patches, and do the migration assistant afterwarts, not running trough the first macos wizard it wont run at all.
seems like migration assistant perhaps needs metal ?

Is this a common known problem.. ?

We select everything possible within the assistant.

Quite possibly you are attempting to copy system files that should not exist on Monterey.
Use a staged approach - run the Assistant a few times, checkbox by checkbox. Start with your home folder, then "other files and folders" and finally "Applications". I would suggest not transferring the "System and Networks" part.

ok, thanks for your message.
We can try that.

I think my neighbour is now already creating a new user profile, and manually copying everything now...
If we still want to give it another try, we will do it in steps, and start with for example selecting only the home folder (user account)

thanks so far for your help !

The common problem:

Do not use MA on a patched system. Just revert the root-patches and try to migrate data in. Later patch the system, again. If you cannot boot into normal mode use safe mode with MA.

Disclaimer: I do not uses MA or TM, just repeat what I have observed here from a lot of posts.

Ok thanks, I was not aware of this.
I thought when still in the first wizard, and running OCLP from the usb stick there where to patches applied yet, we where running MA in the first MacOS wizard.

We where also not able to run MA within MacOS once patched and running OCLP patcher from the internal HDD/SSD.

Never heard of a problem migrating from an older OS, no matter how old it is.

My dad's High Sierra MBP just didn't migrate to a new Big Sur MBP connected via ethernet. It just didn't. I waited for 24 hours, disconnected, rebooted, Big Sur took ages to start up, so I wiped it clean and reinstalled. Then moved the documents manually, made Music.app import the iTunes library so added dates were preserved, same with Photos, reinstalled the apps from App Store and a few freewares. Took much less time and hassle, TBH.

The ethernet way is hell. I always did it via hard drive. Nowadays I do it by a Thunderlbot drive, but before that was SSD and before that mechanical drive.
