Just tried now. It passes the error and the verbose mode takes over, but after a little bit it just reboots.

I have tried both the Install USB Monterey and the Monterey Installer menu option. Is there a way to get the error log somewhere?

yes, USB2.
I have managed to upgrade to Monterey. I had to reset NVRAM every time there was a new step in the installation.

NOw, after the upgrade I can only reach the system login page if I do a NVRAM reset first.
Also, the graphics are ''gone'', I have only one monitor out of 3 working.

Any ideas?

Fixed the Graphic problem by using the Geforce-Kepler-Pacher application.
Now I need to see if I can figure it out the boot thing.
I have noticed that if I keep trying without resetting nvram, it will eventually boot. Last message I can see on the screen is something to do with AppleKeyStore, something like kernel_relay_enable= 0

I think I was happy too early with the Geforce patcher. After turning my computer off for a couple of hours, I cannot access it anymore. Keep getting the new attached error. Also, because of that I had to reinstall BigSur, and even though I had a Time Machine backup, apparently now you can only use the Migration option to recover your files.

Quite frustrating. I would not mind installing Monterey from scratch, but right now it seems it is not happening on my system.

No, havent been able to.
I gave it another try after reinstalling BigSur, but ended up at the same error, and have no idea on how to go about it.
