Installed Ventura with OCLP on my MacBookPro11,2 (mid-2014), which was running and up to date Big Sur.
Upgraded Ventura to Sequioa without a problem.
Upgraded the SSD (256 GB -> 1 TB). Initialised it to APFS and installed Big Sur. All was fine.
Flashed an OCLP Seqouia installer. All seemed fine.
Installed OCLP boot loader on both the flash drive and the machine's new SSD.
Rebooted the mac, pressing Option and it gets to the boot picker with OpenCore on both the SSD and the flash drive.
Regardless of which one I select, it shows the Sequoia installer.
When I pick the installer, it seems to start installing as expected, then, about half a minute in, it shows a gray screen and then goes to the Big Sur recovery screen.
I tried this with the Ventura installer that worked previously and had the same result.
I then thought I should start from scratch and tried it with the Big Sur installer that I had used to install the new SSD, without OCLP, and it also booted to the recovery partition a few seconds in.
I suspect that installing the OCLP on the main SSD was a mistake.
Or, possibly, I needed to initialize the new SSD in a different way than APFS followed by installing Big Sur on it.
Can anyone suggest what my mistake was? Any suggestions as to how to resolve?
