Monterey 12.1 update - any need to knows?

[RyzeCooker]

I never update immediately as this is a work machine, but I wondered if it's just a straightforward affair or is there anything to be aware of (say set SecureBootModel to something other than Default or disabling fTPM before hitting upgrade?

As long as you've got everything up to date it should be straightforward.

Yep, latest kexts, latest OpenCore. All running like a charm guv'ner. On Catalina I never thought twice about hitting upgrade but Monterey feels like a bit of a different beast. Will run a full disk backup before I do anything, it's time for one anyways.

Anyone else has issues with iServices after updating? It seems that I cannot use the Messages app anymore despite it working just fine prior to this update

No issues on my end. Try clearing your NVRAM.

Anyone know if Smalltree is working in 12.1?

Anyone know if Smalltree is working in 12.1?

12.1 does not work for MSI motherboard users. I was able to run 12.0 with the oldest bios for my x570 a-pro, but the 12.1 install just hangs out on LOG:EXITBS:START. New opencore and kexts applied so thats not the case.

Made a full disk backup just in case, then hit the button. After a few reboots with zero hiccups 12.1 is here. Took about 20-25 minutes I think.

12.2 also fine

How to patch the kext? I can't find something about it...

Just tried the SmallTree from the resources part of this site, but no luck - shows no media connected. Apple2xx continues to work, but is offline after sleep. So all as before...

This is probably a heretical thing to say on this forum. I apologise, in advance, for any offence caused. ( I think there may be helplines available for those affected)
But this Smalltree thing has made me want to consider a KVM Hackintosh.
