I’ve seen that back in the beta versions in big sur.
I eventually tried Big Sur and… no issues at all. Did Apple change power management in Sequoia?
Right... I found that out quite some time ago... It's never been fixed really..Yeah Mr Macintosh has a vid on it. I did try that once but if I recall, it still wasn't right.. That was on the 2012MBP. I went back to Catalina and up to Sonoma and stayed there.. I just tried Sequoia on my MBA and didn't really like it much. Too quirky. I reloaded Monterey and restored from TM then went up to OCLP/Sonoma 14.8. Works fine. I'll stay on Sonoma most likely till machine dies, or go back to Monterey if something weird comes up.. But it works fine on my 2012MBP and this 2015MBA. My 2015MBP is my daily so I don't think I'll stay on Monterey on it. Just wish Sequoia wasn't so quirky. It messed up my Movies library and just didn't seem to run as well as Sonoma.
I was originally going to stay on Sonoma as well, but after upgrading to Sequoia from Sonoma, I've been running it about almost a month now, and the little quirks I had before (outside the known issues) has been fine. I guess it really depends on the hardware being used. With that said, I created a second APFS Volume on the fusion drive, and stuck Monterey on it as a backup.
Not that surprised that from M1 to OCLP legacy will be troublesome for obvious reasons and the fact that it will be less used than the other way around, and from OCLP to Legacy Intel to M1 has worked fine here so far.
It finally work after three try. but now when I boot using the option key, it says: "Sequoia-data-data-data"
That is what I meant when I wrote that the installer gets confused.

I wouldn't have been surprised too if I had migrated system files, applications, etc., but I just moved the User folder; does User folder contain something that affects system files?
I have never had a reason to check exactly what Mgration Assistant does, but it certainly does not only copy files.
I was curious about this myself. I don't use "Migration Assistant" myself, and I always manually copy stuff from the Time Machine backup. However, when looking at the backups, it seems like it's only the user data backed up now, and not the system portion of the drive. Time Machine used to back up the whole drive, now it seems like it's just the data, so that make sense why it would cause issues, unless it's due to volume no longer being sealed. The other thing I'm curious about is, is the issue on all unsupported macs, or just really old ones without AVX2, or something else common to newer models.
I'm using CCC when making a fresh installation to an erased disk: making a data clone with CCC to the fresh disk (say xx), then install macOS on it (which makes the two APFS volumes xx and xx - Data out of xx). I use this method after migration assistant had failed several times to end correctly, even before OCLP and dosdude times.
The -data-data... happened to me several times on my MBP5,2, when updating OTA or from VME installer. Most of the times it was that harmless, but I also had cased where the system was unbootable afterwards, could not even be re-installed from VME installer and required a clean install.
Thank you kindly for your reply and I read the article closely. Actually, several times.look here how to re-name the HD
Rename macOS Monterey disk in Startup Manager
I clean installed macOS Monterey from a flash drive. I believe that at the time, the volume it was installed to was labeled Untitled. In any case, Startup Manager (reached from holding Option (⌥) a...apple.stackexchange.com
If you can live with it, it will 100% update the volume names by itself when you update to 15.7.1. or beyond, to what you have set in Disk Utility.
I had the - Data drive name thing happen to me with this last update to 15.7 because I forgot to plug into ethernet before running the update. I had unplugged my Thunderbolt display and usb devices and forgot to plug the ethernet directly to my MBP before walking away to let it do it's thing.
Kevo, thanks.
