I am using the exact same EFI located in my EFI partition on my nvme drive. Monterey and windows 11 boot fine.

Big Sur and Monterey both use the same EFI. Monterey boots, Big Sur stuck at Apple logo. I’ll boot -v later and see what’s going on.

sorry, edit: my system do not accept the above entry, i have XLNC ----- #2 error during boot.
what i did is copy paste the code from XLNC for me to able to boot Monterey and Big Sur ---> this is for savage001 to trial if he can boot same as mine :)

the purpose of the experiment using corecount is to trim down the patch entries,

please refer to this post on the patch with corecount: https://forum.amd-osx.com/index.php?threads/pre-release-macos-monterey.1841/post-11585

maybe in your bios settings for the CPU / mem frequency settings? it would be safe and check if AUTO can help :) ive heard also that overclocking may affect the frequency display

Thanks I’ll give these a try tomorrow. Would be nice to boot both BS and Monterey until Monterey is released properly.

What are the differences between these 2?

The one labeled Big Sur only booted Big Sur but the one labeled for Monterey booted Both BS and Monterey. Thank you.

monterey: new patch + xlnc --#2 ---> this is to boot Monterey and Big Sur, select this as your primary boot in bios
Big Sur: Big Sur patch ---> this will be your backup just incase you cannot boot on Monterey, select this as secondary boot in bios.

can you confirm again that this is working for you?

thank you to all who made the patches available to us, cheers!

I can confirm the Monterey.plist is booting Big Sur and Monterey and I’ll have to assume Windows 11 as well. Monterey boots way faster than Big Sur.

Yes very thankful to all that made it possible.

Can people please share screen shots of the energy saver window in Monterey on AMD. My options seem limited.
