We need more data, please explain in detail the method you are using to restore Sonoma to your 2021 iMac.


Also, it would be extremely wise to tell us WHY you want to install Sonoma when Sequoia will run on a 2021 iMac just fine. If you are having trouble with the version of Mac OS that is currently installed then it wise to troubleshoot that issue rather than attempting to use an older version of Mac OS.
