Not sure what much to say here, but it's a good bid to just share my experience when I updated my build from Sequoia 15.5 to the public Tahoe beta.
My build is nothing special: HP Z230, i5-4590, recently installed RX 560, 32 GB DDR3. I purchased and installed the RX 560 to get a better SMBIOS (which I am utilizing MacPro7,1), which turned out successful.
I decided to take a shot for the Tahoe update with both the InstallAssistant.pkg and at System Settings, both of which, after 1 restart during install, ended in nested kernel panics (which didn't frighten me but disappointed me and made me sad)
I'm not smart enough to look through logs, but other internet experiences said that looking through potentially obstructing kexts and SecureBootModel in the config.plist not being on "Disabled" might cause the panics. I tried disabling AppleALC at first, which didn't push it in a better direction.
Again, I tried with AppleALC and WhateverGreen, and, to all of my shock, the system actually got past verbose and then restarted (as it was still installing Tahoe). After both restarts, I got into the system and everything was perfectly fine (even without WhateverGreen! but no audio, BUT that's been an issue for me anyways)
So, I'm simply creating this post as a minor advisory that, if anybody is trying to update from Sequoia to Tahoe, disabling WhateverGreen and/or disabling SecureBootModel just might help you if you get nested kernel panics.
And sorry if I'm just an idiot and delusional and wrote this for no reason
