Kernel Error after Monterey update

Hello all,

I’ve just upgraded to Monterey and now my iMac won’t boot successfully? I’ve tried Safe mode, resetting NVRM, 1st aid on the discs, unplugging all USB items. Can someone help decipher the kernel panic? Thank you in advance

macOS 13.6 update freezes during install When installing macOS 13.6, after several restarts, an Apple logo appeared by itself and, a few seconds later, an error message appeared saying there was a problem and to either press any key, or wait a few seconds for the computer to restart. In both cases, the loop just began again. Had to shut down computer using Power button then, when restarting the next day using the Power button, screen showed the Apple logo and nothing else until the same error message from the day before appeared, resulting in a continuation of the previous day's infinite loop of error message and freezing during install. Then tried restarting holding Option+R, but only saw the Apple logo. Had to restart from another hard drive in order to get my iMac running.

2017 iMac can't start up, freeze at apple icon and half of the progress bar. Things I tried: (1) First Aid, all scanned and no problem found. (2)I tried Recovery to reinstalled Monterey and got the following message: Com.apple.Buildinfo.preflight.error error21. I changed to differnt Wifi, same error message; Connected directly to ethernet, still got same error message. (3) I tried to add volumne and install Montery, no problem, but I still can't access to the Macintosh HD. (4) I tried to backup, create image of the Macintosh HD, but it was greyed out. Now really don't know what else I can do. I did search online for solution, I noticed someone else asked same question, but I didn't see any solution. Please help! I have lot of files on the hard drive, can't lose them. No budget for a new iMac at this point. Thanks in advance!

iMac A1311 Will Not Boot I bought the iMac knowing it would not boot but I'm struggling to get it going. I think the previous owner broke will trying to update it to a higher OS than the Mac would support. In the boot screen I see 2 HDD's 1 is "Untitled" and the other "Recovery -10.8.4" I'm a Mac OS newbie. I got it to boot in verbose mode, where is stops after a few seconds Everything looks OK until it gets to :- mac os boot error jnl unknown-dev: replay_journal: from: 2219520 to: 101324800 (joffset 0xe91000) it sits there for a minute or two then repeats this error, see pic attached The process will not proceed any further. I have tried creating a bootable USB stick on a Windows PC but the stick will show up in the boot selection screen. I can only see the two HDD's Thanks in advance

Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down - Intel Macs) or (How to Boot an M1 Mac into Recovery Mode), select Disk Utility and repair all available volumes. Then reboot normally and see if there's any improvement.

If not reboot into the Recovery volume and reinstall the system.
