Just managed to install Monterey Public Beta on my Asus X99 Deluxe II -- after nearly 5 hours of tinkering.
Some lessons learned:

Some lessons learned:
- Best to upgrade to OpenCore 0.7.1 and latest Kexts.
Turn off Bluetoothin BIOS (there is an option that just enables or disables Bluetooth).This took a while to figure out.- Update 6 July 2021: We can use Bluetooth! The latest EFI (see Post #7 below) contains a new kext that allows Bluetooth to work.
- Remove all previously used kernel patches from OpenCore's Kernel --> Patch section and just enable the AppleXcpmExtraMsrs kernel quirk.
- Set SecureBootModel to Disabled (not Default).
- Set LauncherOption to Disabled (from Miscellaneous --> Boot section of config.plist).
- Then reboot and Reset NVRAM before starting the upgrade (very important)
- Then boot back into current macOS (Mojave, Catalina, or Big Sur)
- Now begin the upgrade
What doesn't work:
- Intel i211 Ethernet port driven by SmallTreeIntel82576 does not connect
- On-board audio (Realtek ALC-1150)
- Will enable Bluetooth shortly and see if system can (a) boot and (b) Bluetooth can connect
- UPDATE:
- Built-in Bluetooth is not compatible with Monterey.
- Laird BT851 Bluetooth 5.0 USB dongle also seems to have some trouble, but needs more testing.
- I have an extra Fenvi FV-T919 that I may need to install.
