Thanks Hervé! I finally found the issue, it was just VoodooPS2Controller.kext... and nothing else when the graphics are set up correctly, everything boots just fine! can you mark this thread as [Solved] on the title? thank you

I have been using the same EFI folder since the days of Catalina, and I haven't had any major issues while upgrading to each release, all I have to do is update my kexts and Clover and sometimes edit the config file a bit however, this time, I don't seem to understand where the issue comes from, I have updated my Kexts and Clover, then spoofed my SMBIOS to MBP 15,2/15,4 and graphics to Coffee Lake (or whatever 8th gen is called), should be enough right? no quirks changed no nothing, right? however, it seems that I keep getting a kernel panic, the installer doesnt actually even start to load anything, it just gives me this infamous error I have tried to do everything I could think of, I changed ports, used a USB 2.0 hub, removed BT and WiFi related kexts, booted in safe mode, in -igfxvesa... nothing seems to work, what could be the issue? what should I try next? please help, I am so lost EFI.zip

@esmith1966 I have a Skylake (6th Gen Intel Core) machine but you can try mine. I removed the WiFi and Bluetooth Kexts, I also removed the Audio layout ID on AppleALC.kext (boot flag) as idk yours, changed the SMBIOS to match yours, and added "-no_compat_check" as a boot flag, although I think these changes aren't enough, but you might just try EFI.zip also, you need to patch the graphics as the 4000 isn't supported as Herve said

it didn't work, also the F6 and B aren't doing anything now. I have a question that is out of subject but, why is my battery percentage so wrong, it can drop from 100% to 1% in 30 minutes, but last for an extra 4 hours ! I don't even know when to charge it, also those wrong readings are found on the BIOS too, what is the cause ? charging to 100%, discharging to 0% and all the methods don't work

nothing changed, Fn + F6 is for lowering and Fn + B is for increasing (Yes, the letter B ! I myself don't understand why) I don't like karabiner because its not native

Same here on a Skylake i5, I had high CPU usage, Fans at maximum, heating and battery issues... but Stable Monterey is 10 times better than the Betas, I just updated successfully today and all those problems disappeared. so maybe it's the OS fault and not the unsupported graphics, I'm just saying :-1

@Jake Lo Done ! I somehow managed to boot to the OS using OC, then I disabled FireVault, Rebooted into Clover and now everything works like charm !!! The system is super fast and responsive, The stable is much better than the Beta versions. Literally every single thing is working, every port every piece of hardware but except 3 Things : Bluetooth detects other devices but almost doesn't work at all Brightness Keys (F11 and F12) Can't control the fans, SMCSuperIO.kext doesn't work Again, thank you Jake for helping, very appreciated

Yes, I am running the latest Clover Version being the 5142 (Dirty Update). And no, I only got one disk, the one on the left is just the Installer on the USB, I also updated the "Boot Sequence" settings on the BIOS

I erased the disk, and made a fresh install of Monterey 12.0.1, everything went smoothly and I booted to the OS, everything seemed to work properly, then I decided to copy my EFI from the USB to the Internal Disk, I restarted the machine, then I got a black screen Booting from the USB with verbose mode I get this : I Have no clue what happened (I also think that the boot entry is wrong or something)

Mine is working fine, everything is just perfectly smooth, Im on Clover as I said before The "newer" kext solved the dragging issue for good https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZvZRPTHINn89BE_ECqCvAWKxG9FDjIzy?usp=sharing

I got bunch of files on the ACPI Folder, are they unnecessary ? (Again Im on Clover) Tbh, I don't even know what some are for, my EFI since Catalina was based on a random Inspiron, for now, Brightness Fn Keys aren't working (the sound ones are), Intel Bluetooth (Because of Monterey), and dragging is laggy and the three fingers dragging isn't ideal, if only the touchpad was a little larger

I just realised that Lol

That was like a temporary solution but I kinda like it now lol Also I'm on Monterey Beta 7 and I use Clover :)) Can I please use your EFI instead ? Idk tho, I think I might stick to Clover, unless OC gives faster boot (mine is relatively slow, compared to windows 10 that used to boot in like 7 seconds, now it takes like 20 to 25 seconds to boot)

Thanks @Lorys89 I just found the AlpsT4USB.kext thanks to Baio77's Post and now gestures are working (The Kexts were enough) Dragging items is a little bit laggy.

@utendar Were you able to make multi gestures to work ? we both got the same exact laptop
