Did you erase the disk first before like I suggested I my previous post?
Yes, every time. Just for interest, I also tried a build on another OCLP MacBook 9,1 successfully running 15.1 final with the host set to 7,1 and the SMBIOS spoofing set to moderate and the Spoofing Model to MacMini 8.1. It got further than in the previous 4 or 5 times but gave a similar error again. I think I'm going to sleep on it!

The bless of the installer disk failed.
After putting the options back to default (5 seconds boot and show Opencore) unlike what I normally set then building it worked fine then view build log return to menu then change your settings as before and build works again now for me.
Don’t know if Opencore does but if it now saves settings if it goes wrong could do with a reset to default settings for your machine would fix the issue.
Thanks to rehkram for giving me the idea with it being a save error.

Yes! It worked fine, after resetting the options to default! Thank you so much for your help!
One thing I had to try at one point was to disable spotlight indexing the USB drive - try that and see if it works.
Update OCLP 2.1 on macOS 15.1 on a MacbookPro 11,5 (2015) successful.
-Whatsapp local app working again.
-No more Photos-app crash.
-Apple TV+ working smooth.
Install OCLP2.1 to disk en EFI, reboot, rebuild patches on system. (KDK Will be downloaded if needed.) Reboot. Done.

Just installed OCLP 2.1 on my 6,1. Smooth. Seems to be working perfectly and my trusty trashcan is happy with 15,1 so far.
Still wish Photoshop would be as smooth as Affinity on scaled resolutions but this is not OCLP related... Pro Tools works flawlessly. It's great being able to keep this Mac Pro up to date

Thanks for sharing. Very useful.Here's an interesting article on the subject. And you are right, we don't know what we don't know with respect to what Apple are doing at any point in time.
Dual-booting your Mac with multiple versions of APFS
What if you want to boot your Mac using two or more different versions of macOS, with different versions of APFS? Here’s how to avoid problems.eclecticlight.co
had the same issue on my iMac14,1 creating a usb installer 15,1 with oclp 2,1 for the first time. I did a nvram reset and tried with oclp 2.0.2 and everything was fine.
Need some help…going from 14.7 to 15.1 installation goes well until final boot—-I get to a garbled screen and the fans run high. It stays there until I hold the power button and it reboots.
I’m on a 11,4 and this time installing via USB installer. I tried holding the shift key on boot and get the same results.
EDIT—-rebooted a few more times holding the “shift” key and finally booted into safe mode to install all root patches and lib files. All good

You can't boot into safe mode? Hold the shift key until it boots into safe mode...took me 3 tries and the last one took 5 minutes before entering safe mode.Done this but it dosn't help.
Reboot. Hold alt. See what options the boot picker gives you. Select the right efi and volume. Hold Shift and press enter. Keep holding Shift until login screen appears. Login. Run the latest patcher again.
Hello, thank for this idea, but it is on a Mac with 4 os, and this issue was only on a sequoia boot. So I reinstalled Sequoia and now the boot is like the other one. Very strange. On my macboock air m1 it is similar, The progress bar arrive after the password but once and not not twice like my first instal of sequoia.Seems to be a firmware password set on the 2011 only:
Set a firmware password on your Mac - Apple Support
When you set a firmware password, users who don't have the password can't start up from any disk other than the designated startup disk.support.apple.com
- Disabling FeatureUnlock and mediaanalysisd (Live Text) by default for stability.
- If either features are desired, can be re-enabled in settings.
I am on 2.02 and would like to upgrade to 2.1 but not sure that I want to disable these. Would be nice if they had 2 versions, in case you chose not to disable.

Yes, I holt shift an I press enter. The result is the screenshot in post #1665.
Not sure. I am relatively new with this. If that is the case, then not to bad at all.... I see this in 2.02 but nothing for mediaanalysisd (Live Text)

Not following this well but just checking have you gone back to 2.0.2 OCLP efi and tried that as it worked from your other partition build and install from there and then boot into sequoia,?
