Seems to be the same issue with #939. Can you try temporarily disabling the second SSD and seeing if it works?

yes, I tried, but no use

Do you have the Boot security option enabled when installing HaC mini?

mokapsing · Answer 4 · Tue Oct 26 2021 11:52:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Do you have the Boot security option enabled when installing HaC mini?

no, should I enable it?

Try it enabled but I don’t think that’s the issue.

mokapsing · Answer 6 · Tue Oct 26 2021 12:12:26 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Try it enabled but I don’t think that’s the issue.

I will try it tonight, hope it work. by the way, my bios is latest and I disabled Intel gpu

You can also try to disable the bluetooth and wifi in the BIOS first, to see if the boot loop could be avoided.

yes I reinstall 12.0.1, but nothing better

If you can enable verbose boot and provide a screenshot of the message before it panics that would help us figure it out.

I'd like to do something to help you to solve it, actually, I have already found sth, I reinstall big sur, then I update to 12.0.1, but before I restart, I reinstall hac-mini and uncheck both intel bluetooth and net, after reboot, I entered new macOs, but no wifi and bluetooth, then I reinstall hac-mini and check Intel net(still no bluetooth) again, then loop in restart again, so for original Intel net card, current intel bluetooth and net driver may be not compatible with macos 12.0.1.

I manually edited the config.plist in Windows11 and removed the part of Bluetooth, but I didn't remove the kext files, still loop in restart,

No, I enabled Intel Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Later today, I will try to disable Intel Bluetooth WI-FI and the second SSD.

No, I enabled Intel Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Later today, I will try to disable Intel Bluetooth WI-FI and the second SSD.

When I disabled all of them, I can update it to 12.0.1, once I enable Wifi after done update, it loop in restart again, so if you are using original Intel net card, you cannot get access to the Internet or macos 12.0.1

khanhdt123 · Answer 20 · Wed Oct 27 2021 09:57:33 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I am set up to a USB then boot via USB with uncheck Bluetooth (image below). The Intel Wifi still works but Bluetooth is lost. Someone can help for the Bluetooth work again

Seems wifi does not cause loops, I don't know why I cannot enable wifi on my hac

Oh, maybe I should remove the original Intel card and install an Apple card? If I do this, I will have to remove my second SSD.

wait, what I said maybe not right, seems wifi is not the cause, I found that others can use wifi on 12.0.1, only bluetooth has an issue. You can try it yourself, only uncheck blue tooth, to see if it works.

khanhdt123 · Answer 24 · Wed Oct 27 2021 10:30:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

You only need to disable Bluetooth. The wifi still works. But someone can help work Bluetooth again like Big Sur.

There are many files in the zip, which should I use?

osy · Answer 28 · Wed Oct 27 2021 11:11:22 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Just BlueToolFixup.kext but you need to check Intel Bluetooth again in order to install the other KEXTs. Then replace BlueToolFixup.kext with the updated one.

When I uncheck the Intel Bluetooth option, Macos Menterey can work, but when I try to check Intel Bluetooth and use new BlueToolFixup.kext, I still got a loop of restart.

For me it started to work and stoped the reboot loop after I updated BlueToolFixup.kex to 2.6.1 and edited config.plist and placed last int the kernel section:

So it can help, but we should manually put it to the last of the config.plist, we need to make sure that it loads at the end of the duration, right?

For me it worked, I was having the same reboot loop issue and after I manually placed the BlueToolFixup.kext to the last position in config.plist the reboot loop issue was gone and now everything is working again.

goodbest · Answer 39 · Thu Oct 28 2021 08:40:56 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@osy
I'm just wondering the real root cause for the boot loop.

There surely exists the none working issue for Intel/brcm cards under >= Monterey 12.0 beta 10, which is partially fixed by BrcmPatchRAM v2.6.1
However, neither acidanthera bug tracker nor original openintelwireless repos reports for boot loop issue.

Now that @Needham73 find that the kext load order matters.
It reminds me that I'm also experiencing issue with kext loading order here #923

In addition, I found that Bluetoolfixup.kext must be loaded after polaris22 and weg in Monterey b6.
Or you will stuck at IOResourceMatch. (This should be a bug in bluetoolfixup to be repaired later)

I'm not sure which kext (polaris22, weg, bluetoolfixup in brcmpatchram, or openintelbluetooth) should be the root cause

@osy @goodbest Restart loop now is gone. But the issue has not been solved completely, in the beginning, Bluetooth seems ok, it can connet to my Airpod, but after I turn off it, I can not turn on it, and it is on again after I restart the system, so I cannot manual turn on it once I turn it off.
