Just making this post as a warning to all of you A1466/2014 MBA owners.
I was on Ventura before wanting to upgrade to Sonoma - and as I updated to 14.7.6, I was stuck in kernel panics upon boot:
- Kernel panics right after install
- Booting into safe mode worked, and I attempted to install root patches, but upon reboot, the same kernel panics persisted
- I tried NVRAM resets, safe mode, many times with root patches, with no avail
The culprit of the kernel panics was the Intel Haswell HD 5000 driver, or something similar.
I then attempted to install Sonoma 14.7.5, as I had previously run it on a similar machine. The installation ended up being flawless, so the new update probably broke something.
So, the fix is to downgrade from 14.7.6 to 14.7.5
This could be a known issue, but I'm just making this post to hopefully help anyone with/ the same issue.
