Today I set up a pretty basic MP5.1 (2.8x4) and R9/280X. Clean 12.4 on
1st boot was fine, 2nd I got a boot loop with this kernel panic:

Interesting, I also had weird crashes/boot loop today while testing OCLP 0.4.5 and High Sierra with my single CPU tray with a W3565 while with my X5690 tray I didn't had the crashes/boot loop. Lost my lunch time trying to track what was going on - when I was too hungry, I just nuked the ESP. :p

yesterday I set up a Dual CPU Machine by the pretty same specs, 2x X5675, OCLP 0.4.5 too

Seems the installation is botched, stalling in APFS nodes if I start it verbose, even without OC (just with -no_compat_check)

Well. I made a firmware update on the 860 EVO, re-initialized and re-installed.

Seems to run stable, now.

I have a problem with 'Voice Control' on my macPro with 12.4 on my macPro 5,1 with OpenCore 0.8.0

I updated to 12.4 two days ago. It seemed to be a perfect update on each of my macs, however this morning I discovered that I could not select 'Voice Control' in System Preferences without triggering an immediate shutdown, followed by a pause of about 5 minutes, then a reboot.

(My intention was to go on to check the box to enable text editing with speech - which has been working well on previous versions of Monterey)

Voice control is working on my M1 mba running 12.4 and on my Z77MX-QUO-AOS Hackintosh; just not on my OpenCore 0.8.0 macPro 5,1

Firstly has anyone else suffered this? (before I post my plist or any other files).

This is literally the same Kernel panic I'm experiencing.
My chances of getting this random shutdown happens more often while using Chrome, but the report keeps showing it's caused by Siri, check https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/opencore-on-the-mac-pro.2207814/post-31105504

I just tried enabling Voice Control and can confirm the issue.
Thanks for getting back to me ... at least I know I haven't done something to cause it.

I attach the log of the panic on my MacPro but I'm sure it won't shed any more light on this issue than your own log. If you'd like me to send you any more information just ask and I'll get right back with it. (subject to time differences - I'm in Hawai'i)

I've never used Voice Control. Are you saying that Voice Control used to work in macOS up to Monterey 12.3.x but, all of a sudden, will cause a kernel panic on a cMP after the 12.4 update? If so, I guess an OpenCore tweak or kext should fix the situation in a few weeks?

I am getting the same issue, it goes dark before Kernel Panic.
It's random, most of the time I'm able to use it normally so I'm unsure what's exactly triggering this
Report says it's being caused by siri. Attaching my log
The report does not really say it's being caused by Siri; just that the running process when the crash happened was related to Siri. I've had multiple similar panics (all of them type 6 - invalid opcode) on my 5,1 since installing 12.4, some with that "com.apple.siri.embeddedspeech" process, others with mdworker processes, and the common thread in all of them is the kernel extensions in the backtrace. They're always the same, starting with "com.apple.filesystems.apfs" and ending with "com.apple.AppleFSCompression.AppleFSCompressionTypeZlib". If I had to guess, I'd guess that something was changed in the filesystem code in 12.4 that causes it to, under some circumstances, execute an instruction that's unsupported on the 5,1.

I also decided to check,
But curiosity killed the cat

As to me, Siri is off,
VoiceControl drivers were not installed, the download and installation went on,
and suddenly I got multiple panics and reboots, "No but compatible" and so on,
which, as it seemed to me, were eliminated by resetting SMC and NVRAM twice,
but after total reset and reboot with VoceControl OFF, after the end of the mds process and etc,
there was a panic and a reboot -
probably the installed drivers conflict with the hardware cMP 5.1, with Mac os 12.4 and with OpenCore.
so far I decided not to reinstall the system,
I just rewrote the efi opencore again,
after that, for an hour the computer has been working with running benchmarks
and does not go into reboot
random reboots are happening
I need to reinstall mac os to remove harmful drivers VoseControl!
EDITED

I deleted AVAST security (one of panic reason)

I've never used Voice Control. Are you saying that Voice Control used to work in macOS up to Monterey 12.3.x but, all of a sudden, will cause a kernel panic on a cMP after the 12.4 update? If so, I guess an OpenCore tweak or kext should fix the situation in a few weeks?
The only time I've ever turned on Voice Control was to confirm this issue. According to @David403, Voice Control worked properly in previous versions of Monterey (does that include 12.3.1?). Coming up with a fix will depend on how deep the issue is and how important the feature is for people.

Just to confirm it was working in 12.3.1.

I spent a good part of yesterday re-installing 12.3.1 on my Monterey drive and its clone. It’s working again.

It’s certainly important to me. I need the dictation and trackpad control with speech as my arthritis in both hands is getting worse with age.

I finally got around to updating to OpenCore 0.8.0 (I'm holding off on upgrading to MacOS 12.4 for now). However, I noticed something curious: the Resources folder located at OpenCore-0.8.0-RELEASE > X64 > EFI > Resources has nothing but empty folders within it for Audio, Font, Image, and Label resources. I had just blindly copied the Resources folder over to my ESP partition, thinking I would be updating it, but then I failed to get a graphical picker on next reboot (though, I did get a text list picker that worked). Am I missing something, or were these somehow not carried forward from 0.7.9 when they did the release?

Edit: never mind, I think what I missed is that those files are brought in separately with the original install using OCBinaryData.

I also decided to check,
But curiosity killed the cat

As to me, Siri is off,
VoiceControl drivers were not installed, the download and installation went on,
and suddenly I got multiple panics and reboots, "No but compatible" and so on,
which, as it seemed to me, were eliminated by resetting SMC and NVRAM twice,
but after total reset and reboot with VoceControl OFF, after the end of the mds process and etc,
there was a panic and a reboot -
probably the installed drivers conflict with the hardware cMP 5.1, with Mac os 12.4 and with OpenCore.
so far I decided not to reinstall the system,
I just rewrote the efi opencore again,
after that, for an hour the computer has been working with running benchmarks
and does not go into reboot
random reboots are happening
I need to reinstall mac os to remove harmful drivers VoseControl!
EDITED

I deleted AVAST security (one of panic reason)
My current OC 0.8.0 with edited cdf config +TBOLT3+radeonsensor
My CMP 4.1/5.1 dual cpu xeon 5680, 96gb RAM, radeonpro w5700, nvme crucial 2tb, evo plus 1tb, TB3 alpine ridge, oc 0.8.0, mac os 12.4
Getting the same. I have a theory that my Time Machine backup volume is in the mix somewhere. KP twice this evening since I reattached and used my external TM volume.

Other than resorting to a backup, is there a recommended way to go back to Monterey 10.3.1?

EDIT: Naturally, I meant Monterey 12.3.1. My bad.

No. You'll need to back up your data and reinstall a lower version of macOS to revert to 12.3.1. Maybe you have a Time Machine backup that was completed on 12.3.1 prior to upgrading to 12.4. You'd have to use that.

MacOS has never officially supported a downgrade. The APFS snapshots in recovery mode are not well tested.

Are you also experiencing kernel panics now (even without using Voice Control, Siri, or Time Machine)?

Been for a while witn 12.4 in my Mac Pro 4,1 -> 5,1, since day 1. Since two days, freeze al few minutes from booting. At first I thought could a problem with the NVME, but a cloned SSD happens the same.
Reverted yesterday to my copy of 12.3.1 and been running for hours with no problem.

I hope someone can help. Thank you.

The way I did it was time consuming but relatively straight forward.

1) Copy the data drive of your Monterey 12.4 to a newly formatted drive which I named ‘Monterey 12.3.1’

(I used SuperDuper’s ‘smartcopy‘ which will copy ONLY the data drive if copying onto an empty drive - ie all your user files, your program files and settings, your network settings - but not the other drives and OS on a Monterey installation)

2) Make a USB Installer from the installer app for Monterey 12.3.1 - I downloaded it from mrmacintosh.com

3) with the USB Installer install Monterey 12.3.1 on the drive containing your data - the drive you named - ‘Monterey 12.3.1’.

This results in a bootable Monterey 12.3.1

I don't use Voice Control or Siri, but do use Time Machine... however, the panics I'm seeing don't seem to implicate my Time Machine usage, as they're mostly occurring in spotlight indexing (mdworker_shared). As I mentioned further up, they always have the "com.apple.filesystems.apfs" and "com.apple.AppleFSCompression.AppleFSCompressionTypeZlib" kexts in their backtraces.

If there's anything I can do to get better/more complete debugging information that might help, I'm happy to do that.

My first time using opencore to Install Monterey 12.3.1 fresh and clean onto a new SSD in my cMP 4,1->5,1, after reading and watching some youtube footage installing the OS was a succes. I used version 0.4.4 of the opencore legacy patcher..after main os install , updating too version 12.4 was easy and without issues. Thnx Opencore team :)

Yes, for the last two days!
OK. Something is certainly going on. But in my case (and perhaps for others as well), 12.4 has been fine so far, complicating the task. I did manage to triggering a panic by turning on Voice Control, so that is obviously something to look into. We'd have to identify the changes in 12.4 that could be causing these panics. Given the current logs, APFS could be the cause, but it seems that APFS always gets pointed at when issues come up (notably the Big Sur race condition). Any additional panic logs would be helpful.
