Lenovo ThinkStation P520

My ThinkStation P520 came with Xeon W-2135 6 core 12 threads CPU. I was able to boot into the installer for macOS Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma successfully With the same EFI( if you are interested i can share it). I know support for my Nvidia Quadro K600 Kepler card was dropped in Monterey so im using OCLP to patch it on Monterey to Sonoma. But it works natively in Big Sur(Placeholder until I get an AMD 5700xt). There are currently 2 issues that I'm facing

• No matter what I try it will not get past the initial boot stage of macOS Sequoia Beta With my EFI.. Maybe I have to wait for the actual release of Sequoia.

• MacOS doesn't recognize my exact CPU name so it only shows as unknown. (I have tried using processortype decimals 3842 and 3841 but still shows as unknown)I don't know if it has to with the fact that there were no 6 Core Xeon W shipped with the imacPro 2017. I'm using Imac pro 1,1 smbios.

If you can help me with these issues I will be glad 😊 Thanks.
