12.1 update succeeded. In the end an usb hub that was working just fine with 12.0.1 seemed to be causing problems. 2 successful bootups after removal of the hub.
Unfortunately that post was too hasty. My boot problems reappeared a couple of reboots later. In fact, I tried to use the efi folder of CaseySJ unaltered. I am tinkering with that one now. Behavior is a little different now. Straight bootups seem seldom (none at all maybe). After the oc prompt I end up in a reboot loop which at some point ends and Mac OS starts up (better than complete lockup and having to press F1 the next boot). Bluetooth is dead. I haven’t yet figured out why. Probably the usb mapping as I am using a modded 2101 bios and I think Casey might employ the 1801 bios. I don‘t really get why he is using fakesmc and why his config lets me enable ehci handoff without causing havoc with the USB ports.Has this issue popped back up for you, by chance? I am halting here with the 12.3 update, yet I have no USB devices even plugged in at this point.

@CaseySJ , would you message me so I can ask you a video card question? I tried to go through "start a conversation", but there's some kind of error. I appreciate it, Thanks JohnmThe EFI folder in this thread contains KGP's special build of FakeSMC that provides many more sensors than VirtualSMC. However, it's perfectly okay to replace all of FakeSMC with VirtualSMC.
FakeSMC consists of 5 parts:
- FakeSMC.kext
- ACPISensors.kext
- CPUSensors.kext
- GPUSensors.kext
- LPCSensors.kext
