Please help us verify something:
1) Your Firepro M5100 is using original vBIOS or new hacked vBIOS compatible for iMac?
2) How can you be sure that the Opencore Legacy Patcher was not already installed in your iMac without you knowing it?
3) How did you install Monterey on your iMac? Just plug in the USB installer, a blank SSD and power-up your iMac, it would boot directly from the USB and install Monterey?
 
Hi my friend, I used the original bbios for imac To ensure that the tool is not installed opencore legacy patcher Actually without your knowledge replace new hard drive or wipe hard drive and install montery OS because installing montery in old machines will only install via efi boot for opencore legacy patcher. For the upgrade, which you installed.Install System normally and normal on imac 11,2 - 2010 without need for efi boot me opencore legacy by usb or cd ,send me your mail so i can send a video to you
