Hi all,

Running Monterey on a MP5,1 with OC & OCLP 0.6.2. All starts well including login. Then after logging out and try to login, nothing happens (spinning wheel forever).

Any ideas?

To be clear, are you entering your password and then beachball, or do you get the beachball immediately after logging out?

Already tried NVRAM and SMC resets?

If you create a new user, log out of your current user account, and log in as that user do you get the same thing? Or is it just when logging back into the same user account you just logged out of?

Do you have another macOS drive you can boot from to test?

I got the beachball directly after I typed the password to log back in.

NVRAM deep reset and SMC reset didn't help.

An old SSD with Monterey works fine. Two fresh SSDs with fresh Monterey install don't...

Any hardware difference between the SSD that works and the ones that don't (e.g. SATA vs NVMe, are they partitioned the same)?

And when you say fresh SSDs, are these fresh installs of Monterey, with no apps/drivers added or mods done?

Did you already try a new user account?

Yes, they were fresh installs on freshly formatted SSDs. Both the same behavior.

I didn't try to add the user account as you mentioned, installed another graphics card instead. Ran the OCLP post-patch and it turned out to solve the problem.

Must have been something with the drivers I guess. May try to switch back to the Quadro 4000 later to see if the problem comes back.

The Quadro 4000 is no metal GPU and needs a pile of patches to run in systems newer than High Sierra.

So you get all sorts of oddities with root patches, need to unpatch if you change the gpu to a Metal capable one and need again to patch for a pre Metal era gpu.
