Cannot come out of boot loop after updating to Monterey even after new VM volume setup

[gyaneshwar-sunkara]

Trying to update to Big Sur or Monterey

• Can't find Big Sur on app store
• Monterey is in infinite boot loop
  • When Monterey is installed in a fresh volume added through VM it goes into loop while booting from the new volume
  • Booting from the old existing volume just gets me to Catalina prior to installation

I'm also having this problem

Able to download Big Sur from MacOS Archieve Direct Big Sur link

Trying out installation

[myspaghetti]

From the very little testing that was reported on the issue tracker, installing Monterey from Catalina onto an empty volume using the default configuration (mainly two CPU cores) boots and works, though CalculonPrime reported somewhat frequent crashes, either every few hours or when running certain apps.

Big Sur installed in place and booted successfully Monterey still in boot loop

Closing issue

[CalculonPrime]

Why was this issue closed? It was opened against Monterey and the last comment admits Monterey still has the problem.

[myspaghetti]

Because the script doesn't support Big Sur nor Monterey. Both work, but they need to be installed manually and not through the script.

[CalculonPrime]

So you mean you've found a workaround to a Monterey machine rebooting periodically with 4 cpus? Or you mean you just run it with 2 or fewer cpus? Because, no matter what I do or how I configure the vbox file, it always reboots for me in a short time with > 2 cpus.

The script doesn't support Monterey. This is an issue tracker for the script. Since this is not an issue with the script, the issue is closed.
