Trouble with MacMini6,2

Hi everyone !

I cannot boot Sonoma 14.4.1 from my MacMini6,2 anymore (in my setup macOS is on an external SSD, never caused any trouble so far).

OCLP was installed with macOS 14.4 and running fine. I noticed the system had downloaded the new installer but I turned the mac off before downloading the latest OCLP.

When I tried to boot it up, system was stuck in (what seems like) a loop about BTCoex.

I tried the following:

  • resetting NVRAM (as well as PRAM)
  • disabling SIP
  • deleting some kext (HighPoint*.kext, SoftRAID.kext)
  • Disk Utility repair
  • reinstalling Sonoma 14.4.1 from an external drive (created using OCLP on another machine)

The last thing I could do would be to erase the whole partition and clean install macOS. However, I'd prefer not to. Do anyone else have the same problem? What can I do? Any idea?

Thank you very much.
