[NGFF/M2 SSD] what is blud planning
Try adding SATA-unsupported https://github.com/khronokernel/Legacy-Kexts/blob/master/Injectors/Zip/SATA-unsupported.kext.zip

Help please!!! What can i do with this?
I would guess SATAUnsupported.kext, but you should check here and make sure you've disabled anything unsupported, such as IRRT, hardware, etc. Again, I have no idea what your hardware and OC configs look like. Maybe start fresh, and open a new thread? You mentioned using the same files for your Clover and OC configs, and can personally tell you this rarely works right.
- What is this kext for SATA-Unsupported?

SATA drives not visible in installer.
For Catalina, You should use this kext instead SATA-Unsupported(opens new window)

Prohibited sign on boot post install High Sierra
Thanks for the tip, I tried installing SATA-unsupported.kext and AHCIPortInjector.kext

"touch: /var/run/installer: Read-only file system" on Tiger 10.4.10 (Pentium M 715)
I took a look at your EFI, and I don't see any obvious errors in the config.plist. Concerning the ACPI, I don't think a valid EC is required in macOS prior to Catalina 10.15; thus, SSDT-EC is unnecessary. Concerning the Drivers, I don't think Ps2KeyboardDxe is required. Also, why use VBoxHfs-32 instead of HfsPlus32? I am curious as to where you got most of your kexts; USBInjectAll only works on El Capitan 10.11 and above, and I don't think IOATAFamily nor SATA-unsupported are required for your laptop; does your laptop even support AHCI or SATA?. AHCIPortInjector and VoodooHDA, I'm not sure about (for the latter, I think you should be using VoodooHDA-FAT). The others look fine, though.

Closest equivalent current or few gen. back MB & CPU to replace old Lynnfield quad‑core (i5-760) & Intel 5 MB in a working Hackintosh? Esp. CPU Power Management & sleep.
i hv old lagecy pc...x58 MB with X5670 Xeon CPU....Before i update to Monterey..i using Catalina in cpu C & P states i use CPUFriend.kext , CPUFriendDataProvider.kext and SSDT-DATA https://github.com/corpnewt/CPUFriendFriend

sell 10900kf for more accurate 10900K?
Waste of money. Optimize CPU power managemen using CPUFriendFriend instead.

Very High Power usage on ice lake laptop.
Generate a CPUFriendDataProvider with CPUFriendFriend and put it in your kext folder alongside CPUFriend.kext

Hackintosh quite rarely but still annoyingly crashes then proceeds to lock screen
This should be the command line. $ git clone https://github.com/corpnewt/CPUFriendFriend.git $ cd CPUFriendFriend $ ./CPUFriendFriend.command

I also used CPUFriendFriend to generate the kext for power savings according to my liking. The idle power usage is <1W.
