Done - Am I the only one that thinks Apple has got these releases ar$e about face? I mean from Beta to RC1 and RC2 now back to Betas. I suppose having to cater for M1 and Intel is proving a mite troublesome.

This latest update does not sit very well on my system, as far as I can tell at the moment everything is working as before, but as a habit I tend to run 'First Aid' on the Volumes to check all is well with the update and this one threw up a bunch of errors. I will wait for the stand alone download and do a clean install on a test disk and run 'First Aid' again and see the results. Like I said before.......Good job I am retired to fill my days with these time consuming headaches.

Spoiler

No way to update to 12.1 on my old core2 quad HP xw4600 and on ivy HP 4540s. First don't pass exitbs:start, second in something like "rooting via boot-uuid from /chosen: ..........................". Tried all known tricks, no avail. 3 ivy desktops updated without problems.

Basically, the kernel now uses the RDRAND instruction with 12.1. Any CPUs which don't have the RDRAND instruction are now unsupported, which is anything pre Ivy, and some lower end Ivy CPUs (i3/pentiums/celerons).
No clue on your HP 4540s though, sorry.

On core2 I used this until now: https://github.com/reenigneorcim/SurPlus. But it just simulate RDRAND and for boot you need native rdrand I think. But on HP 4540s I have top I7 processor with rdrand capabilities. I suppose they remove other hardware support too.

Just installing macOS Monterey 12.1 beta… on an unsupported board-id (MacBookPro10,1)… through Software Update… just sayin'…

That doesn't simulate RDRAND, it just disables some checks it looks like. Either way, the kernel now always uses RDRAND from what I can see, with no way to avoid it. There may potentially be a fix, I know some people are looking into it. I doubt that there will be one myself though.

Wow this update is serious, look at that! 😬

My FX-6300 hackintosh can boot Monterey 12.0.1 without any issue, but unable to boot 12.1 now by OPenCore 0.7.4 or Clover 5141.

Is it due to lack of RDRAND instruction or extra kernek patch for FX-6300 because it can not enable ProvideCurrentCpuInfo ?

No such an issue in my Ryzen 1700X hackintosh booted by OpenCore 0.7.4 or Clover 5141.

12.0.1 was the Monterey RC version. This beta is 12.1. They had to launch these fixes as 12.0.1 since 12.0 was already deployed on the assembly lines’ 2021 Mac’s.
