I hate that. My late 2012 MBP is a i7 and my other 2018 MBP is also an i7, both can do Catalina but not Big Sur?

Same situation. Tried all kinds of reboots. In safe mode it will boot and show the login screen but when I enter my password, it looks like it starts to continue then screen goes black then goes back to the main login screen. Is the install stuck or the boot process stuck (on a bad driver, and if so, is there a way to bypass. I tried verbose and didn't see anything conclusive).
