Hello! I need help please. I am trying to install Monterey via Open Core Legacy on a Mac Pro 5.1 (high sierra) and the instalation never finishes. The computer keeps restarting after the progress bar finish and goes back to the disk selection (pictures attached) and go again to a progress bar, restarts, disk selectir again... it seems it cant go further. I tried for several hours, dont know what to do more.

Open core 0.6.1, and last monterey version downloaded from the app. Please help

Manually select the "Install macOS Monterey" image for each reboot until it is no more. It's what I did on the same config.
I did not try to boot into "Macintosh HD" and selecting the Install... disk as startup. The system on it is likely incomplete,
I do not remember how many times the system had to be rebooted. Some of the progress screens were painfully long.
Eventually, this all worked.
