One of these kernel extensions is a likely culprit. I would suggest deleting two of them listed below. Once Monterey is up and running, it will be necessary to reinstall the applications that use those kernel extensions.Thanks @CaseySJ - it finishes the first state, reboots several times and then crashes. So its definitaly the second stage. As mentioned I'm even able to boot into Monterey after doing the kmutil-thing in recovery mode.
How to boot into safe mode?
These are the extensions:
Bash:❯ ll /Library/Extensions Permissions Size User Date Modified Name drwxr-xr-x@ - root 10 Oct 14:41 AuthenticationSupport.plugin drwxr-xr-x@ - root 10 Oct 14:41 AuthenticationSupportEnabler.plugin drwxr-xr-x@ - root 14 Jan 2020 EnergyDriver.kext drwxr-xr-x@ - root 21 Mar 14:56 HighPointNVMe.kext drwxr-xr-x@ - root 26 Aug 2020 intelhaxm.kext drwxr-xr-x@ - root 14 Nov 10:31 RMEFirefaceUSB.kext drwxr-xr-x - root 1 Jan 2020 SoftRAID.kext
I attached my EFI-Folder. Thanks again!
- Boot the Recovery partition
- Open Terminal
- Enter the commands shown below, but replace
YourSSD
with the actual name of your macOS SSD:
Bash:
cd /Volumes/YourSSD/Library/Extensions
rm -rf intelhaxm.kext
rm -rf RMEFirefaceUSB.kext
touch /Volumes/YourSSD/Library/Extensions
- Reboot and see if Monterey installation process continues...
