Kernel Panic Log

EFI

When I perform a NVRAM reset and try to boot through my USB, it shows the Apple logo for 5-10 seconds and then reboots and gives a kernel panic.

For alder-lake, I was following this guide and the reddit post as references.

I've also tried the fixes for #[EB|LOG:EXITBS:START] mentioned in the Troubleshooting section of OpenCore guide but got no luck booting the installer yet.

Any ideas on how can I solve this issue? Thanks!

Below is a picture of the logs I get during boot, it mentions some ACPI Exceptions:
