Original Question:
Yea, so I installed Monterey (yay me) and when I drag my new EFI that I made for Monterey in my EFI partition of my drive, it boots to a kernel panic. But when I use my USB to boot, everything is fine. Why is that? This hasn't happened on Big Sur, even it's betas like 11.5 beta 2, so I don't know what changed in 12.
