Hi, I'm trying to install macOS Ventura (was previously running macOS Monterey with everything working perfectly), so I followed the Dortania guide, but when trying to boot to the installer I get a lot of errors saying "vm_shared_region_start_address() failed", and afterwards it gets stuck after a lot of errors saying "Failed to bootstrap path ... Operation already in progress"

Here is a video showing the verbose output when trying to boot-

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

The link is wrong.

Secondly, the EFI is not as per the guide.
 
Updated the link
 
My EFI was completely okay actually
Apparently I just made the stupidest mistake lol
I somehow managed to forgetWhateverGreen.kext

I wasn't actually having any errors - the "vm_shared_region_start_address() failed" errors are turned out to be normal and ignorable
What happened was that macOS booted fine but without WhateverGreen it couldn't display anything obviously
