Hi there,
I struggled for a while figuring why my perfectly working Monterey 12.2 wouldn't boot anymore after updating to 12.3 (or anything after that).
For some reason, I now have to disable SpeedStep in the bios, otherwise I get into a boot loop when the CPU detection occurs.
Took me a while to figure why because it was not panicking, just hanging or hanging for a few secs then reboot.
Lowering the number of active cores in the Bios started triggering a Kernel Panic and that's where I saw the culprits were ApplePowerManagement and X86PlatformPlugin.
Once I knew the CPU was the issue, I tried various things, including disabling SpeedStep, and that did the trick.
Now I lost Turbo, and even loading a modified MacPro4,1 power profile like I did before doesn't restore it.
I'll keep investigating but no turbo is still better than no boot at all...
