Hi

The upgrade from 12.6 to 13 went well.
To be honest it was pretty quick (HP Probook 440-G7 i5/32Gb SSD/M2 OC84)
got back to login ok
logon fine then keep reboot or else.
Found the culprit (my bad), it was little snitch 'fault' I was running 5.4.x and forgot to disable/remove it before the upgrade.
To get the system back I did the following
boot the recovery
open terminal
on /Volumes/.../LibraryLaunchAgents and /Volumes/.../Library/LaunchDaemons I move the following file to
/volumes/.../users/Shared
the files are
at.obdev.littlesnitch.daemon.plist
at.obdev.littlesnitch.agent.plist

rebooted the Mac and now all working.
I had to make inactive Little snitch from Network to get back onto the internet...

Now install 5.5...
Will see.
 
Little update

I installed latest 5.5 but laptop still reboots after login.
done as above once more.
This time I have uninstalled it
I am using the default (supplied) WiFi card in the Probook.
and the latest stable version of itlwm 2.1.0
it seems if I try/have the WiFi enabled, no SSID showing and the laptop will crash.
May be because little snitch is/was present?

I have installed the Alpha version of the itlwm 2.2.0
rebooted
Wifi turned on when I logon and laptop connected to AP
so far no crash.
since I do to want to try again little snitch I am using right now
LuLu from objective-see
Granted it is not as pretty as little snitch but it does the job

if I use cat5 directly. No crashes or only when little snitch was on.

Now some may asked, how I knew (or pretty sure) it was little snitch at the 1st place.
Easy... I have a spare laptop as test (same model but less ram and only m2) which I upgraded to Ventura and it was ok.
But little snitch was not installed and it was wired.
