Sorry to hear that. I did, more than one time, just make an new volume for it, and everything is solid til today.

I am facing the exact same problem as you. iMac 11,1 running Monterey through OCLP 1.3.0. No version of Parallels works with the Root Patches enabled. Did you manage to find a workaround solution?
I have moved back to Monterey from Sonoma. I think its the best stable version fior the 2011 Macbook Air with 4GB ram. No lags, no fans on full blast and its smooth and fast. I think this Monterey OS is the break even for my machine and i am gonna stick with it full time. ✌️
The version I had installed on High Sierra (Parallels 11) did not work and I had to install a newer version. I also have a licence for Parallels 18, which installed with no issues and is working wonderfully. Now if I only could grab another licence, cause their new yearly subscription model seems kind of odd to me...
This is certainly not true. But depending on what software you use and what you're trying to run there can be problems. Some versions of parallel uses the Metal API to accelerate parallel's own program drawing, and if you have no Metal support, the parallel program runs unsupported instructions and crashes.
You can use VMWare or VirtualBox, and if these programs do not use Metal API to draw its own program interface, you won't run into a problem there.
But MacOS starting with Catalina banned kexts, which is traditionally how many virtualization programs (on the host) implement certain acceleration functions. So older virtualization programs trying to install kexts because they were developed for older MacOS and were allowed to install kexts at the time would refuse to work. For instance, you will need VirtualBox 7.0 on Monterey host because older VirtualBox may refuse to start.
Then when we are talking about guests, if you're running macOS as a guest (on an Intel based host), anything after Catalina cannot have graphics accelerations, due to kext restrictions.
So virtualization on MacOS is possible, but severely restricted. I can confirm the following combination works: Monterey 12.7 host + VirtualBox 7.0.4 + Ubuntu 22.04 guest
This is not true. On my setup, iMac11,1 with Metal GPU, on Monterey using OCLP, using Parallels 18, Graphics acceleration works on Windows like running through bootcamp. Blazing fast. AFAIK, Parallels is the only virtualizator that provides full graphics support to the guest OS. I've tried both VirtualBox and VMWare; VirtualBox doesn't even have basic 2D acceleration for the GUI.
You'll have to manually enter the WiFi name etc, even though it's already listed. Delete it and manually enter the credentials.
Excuse me for a bit offtopic. Is it possible to obtain OCLP 1.4.0 in some beta or other testing form? (Monterey installation unbootable, really need it...)
Try on the OCLP github or discord server for the nightlies though you may have to build them yourself.
I have been using Parallels Desktop under OCLP Monterey and up. Ventura and Sonoma are unstable under OCLP due to AVX2 issues. They reliably crash as guests, presumably for the same reason.
Earlier versions of macOS and Windows guests are fine.
Didn't work at first. I think I had t change to WPA2 Personal. Show legacy networks and options.
Did you post install the patches.
Hey everyone,
I am currently running Monterey 12.7 on my iMac 2011 12,1. It keeps asking to install Sonoma, which I do not want to do since I'm running the stock hd6750. I have tried to spoof the smbios, disable sip, etc but no luck disabling this update.
Does anyone know what OCLP adds to always find the latest OS updates? Typically on a hackintosh the smbios sets the max OS. This does not seem to be the case when using OCLP. It must add some type of kext or entry to override the smbios. Any ideas?

Worked for me. Your signature does not show what setup you have. Also did you have SIP disabled ?
I respectfully disagree... If I were to manually go in and build opencore with Mac Pro 6,1 smbios it would not find the Sonoma update... OCLP just builds opencore for you automatically, but it's still Opencore. There's obviously something added on the OCLP process that just needs to be removed.
