New Monterey install failed after the first step and loop reboot...

[wiwai]

I have a random start problem. indeed, when I turn on my tower, the apple appears with the bar but this one is very slow and if I let it go I end up with a message telling me that my machine has restarted following a problem. I need 5/6 restarts before my system is ok. What do you think is going on? do you think it could be my motherboard battery? Or should I flash the BIOS? (this one dates from 2018, I have never updated it. Thank you.

You need to boot in Verbose mode, i.e. add these three entries -v debug=0x100 keepsyms=1 to the boot arguments in your config.plist.

1. -v
   • Forces the system to boot in Verbose mode
2. debug=0x100
   • This disables macOS's watchdog which helps prevents a reboot on a kernel panic. That way you can hopefully glean some useful info and follow the breadcrumbs to get past the issues
3. keepsyms=1
   • This is a companion setting to debug=0x100 that tells the OS to also print the symbols on a kernel panic. That can give some more helpful insight as to what's causing the panic itself.

That way when the system kernel panics (reboots) you will be able to take a photo/video of the text on the monitor, which should show the error causing the kernel panic.

Posting a copy of the photo(s) or Video would allow us to see what is happening and possibly offer you a way to fix the issue.

I'm going to do what you suggest but I found that in fact my motherboard does not recognize my boot hard drives but not every time... I just replaced the battery, it doesn't change anything but maybe I have a setting that is not good? Is there a page to know how to adjust your motherboard? thank you

you will want to set your "prev-lang:kbd" in your config.plist to French
