Dell Users:

For Skylake and newer:

Kernel -> Quirk -> CustomSMBIOSGuid -> True
PlatformInfo -> UpdateSMBIOSMode -> Custom

(Dell Inspiron 7373, 8250u, newer than Skylake)
I followed above, but when selecting APFS formatted disk in installation gui,
it said "Your Mac needs a firmware update in order to install to this volume. Please select a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume instead."

and I googled, https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/iw1cel/cant_install_using_opencore_because_your_mac/
I reversed the values to
Kernel -> Quirk -> CustomSMBIOSGuid -> False
PlatformInfo -> UpdateSMBIOSMode -> Create

I can install Monterey on APFS volume without error.
(Can select APFS disk?volume?, and installation progress goes on)
