Catalina (Clover) to Monterey Update

[wstrohm]

Would suggest in config.plist/Security setting "SecureBootModel" temporarily to "Disabled" (no quotes).

Have not looked at the whole EFI folder, but the names of the ACPI documents in config.plist/ACPI/Add do not seem to match those in the OpenCore version indicated by the existence of config.plist/Serial, which looks like this is from OpenCore version 0.8.0. The ACPI documents should be from this OpenCore release, not some earlier version.

should be enabled:
DisableIoMapper (unless you have disabled VT-D in bios)

may also be worth setting: SecureBootModel to Disabled

may also be worth enabling Intel Graphics

and set AAPL,ig-platform-id to 03001259

don't forget to reset nvram when you make any changes to your EFI/config.plist

Reset the NVRAM and did the steps you listed, still same issue - verbose then black screen.. I'm plagued!

I downloaded the sample.plist as said in the guide. Did I make a mistake there?

The sample.plist looks like it is from OpenCore version 0.8.0, since I saw the "Serial" item listed. That's fine, but if you did use it, your entire EFI folder should also be from OpenCore version 0.8.0, or at least its ACPI "docs" should be. Also you should have used the latest versions of kexts Lilu, WhateverGreen, AppleALC, IntelMausi, VirtualSMC, etc. If you didn't, that could have caused problems.

I used all the latest versions of the kexts - as for the ACPI docs, are mine wrong? I just tried to follow the guide which looked pretty easy, but maybe I made a mistake somewhere..

can you upload your working clover folder

also in terminal:
sudo kextcache -i /

and copy paste the results here

IntelMausiEthernet.kext should be removed from /L/E

then re run:
sudo kextcache -i /

you have nothing in there obviously different ie device properties etc

oh wait, the boot-arg should be agdpmod=pikera
you spelt it wrong in your config.plist!

Alright! We finally booted! Yay!

Now what's next? Can I just update to Monterey as a regular Mac? Anything I should check beforehand?
Thank you so much @Feartech !!!!
