Not specifically related to OCLP I suspect but I would love any suggestions on how to troubleshoot from people who don't think a beautiful 27" iMac late 2014 (15.1) should be junked.
Fusion Drive scrambled - but the 128G SSD is usable. Also Tried external 500G SSD.
No local recovery working but via internet recovery got High Sierra installed. In recovery or booting High Sierra it will run for hours.
Trying to install Big Sur (native) or Ventura via OCLP boot results in it freezing after around 10 minutes.
I managed to get Sonoma installed on an external SSD (I think because no step takes longer than 10 minutes before the next re-boot ?
But Sonoma boots and looks beautiful, but just freezes after 10 minutes (well somewhere between 8 and 13). Same in safe mode.
Its not getting hot according to powermetrics (and freezes doing nothing or watching 4K Youtube alike)
Any suggestions as to what the problem is, or how to narrow it down
