[pre-release] macOS Monterey

[mboy]

When I try to create the installer USB in terminal I get the error message  "/Applications/Install macOS 12 Beta.app does not appear to be a valid OS installer application". Help. thanks

[Riley Freeman]

By the time this finishes downloading I'll have to go to bed. So no testing until tomorrow evening.

 

Are the nvidia drivers still there? Hoping they haven't dropped support for other v1 Metal cards like my 670.

[ontoid]

Smooth installation, zero problems. Interesting, that now you can have same windows across two desktops/monitors, nice.  

[mnfesq]

So I was able to boot to Monterey successfully.  I seem to have an issue with bluetooth loading properly but I will work on that.  In the meantime,  for those who, like me, forget this annual venture into uncharted waters, remember that this is a new version of macOS.  If you use Lilu, be sure to add -lilubetaall to your boot args and, if you use Clover, be sure to put your custom kexts in the Other folder in Kexts.  Once I did that, my system started up just fine.

[miliuco]

Updated without problems. Approx. 45' in total. I have used -lilubetaall in boot-args. The rest of the EFI folder is the same as for Big Sur. This test with iMac19.1.
Slight disappointment to see the system so similar to Big Sur, at least in the user interface.
Graphics card is missing from About this Mac but not from System Profiler.
I have graphics acceleration with the RX 580 primary card and the iGPU in headless mode seems to work fine judging from what I see on the Intel Power Gadget while I was running a graphics test.
Monterey works surprisingly well for such an early beta.

Looks like X299 is a no go so far.  Crashes instantly on reboot

[Common_Sense]

It looks like macOS Monterey now supports variable refresh rate. I have an AMD Freesync Premium 165 HZ monitor and can see "Variable" being a refreshrate option. In Big Sur I could choose up to 165 HZ, In Monterey I can choose 144 HZ, and then Variable.

 

EDIT: changing some display properties such as refresh rate can reboot the system, and there is flickering with Variable refresh rate option. Maybe Whatevergreen needs to be updated to inject something more? Or it is simple just because it is a macOS beta.

only the bootarg "-lilubetaall"

Done! Thanks

So, officially, it looks like it's Broadwell platforms minimum but Monterey would still support Haswell/Azul framebuffer for the moment. Very much like Ivy Bridge/HD4000 in Big Sur.

 

It is very interesting that Monterey still supports the Mac mini (Late 2014) which has a Haswell processor and Intel HD Graphics 5000/Iris 5100 but drops all Haswell-based MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac.

[MorenoAv]

Update went well, except I don't have sound... but I'll work on that.

Used -llibetaall in boot arguments, and my RX 570 is a no show in system profiler too...

My 6800xt no show

Installed over a Big Sur 11.4 Beta without changing anything, specs in the signature.

@thunder72fr

Read previous posts. Graphics card not seeing in About this Mac but yes in System Profiler.

I am getting some random reboots that seems to be related to Whatevergreen:

Read previous posts. Graphics card not seeing in About this Mac but yes in System Profiler. 

 

I´ve installed over my big sur 11.4 beta and didn't change anything. Graphics (RX570) fine. Also in System Profiler with Metal.

[Rocky12]

Yes I am done X58 My Beast

no audio here... only from hdmi rx570

with -lilubetaall the system runs slow ...

[Partime]

I have an Rx5700 and added -lilubetaall to the end of my bootarg but still get a black screen.  
 

could someone post their whole line, I assume something else that’s needed is missing right now.

Try and add this: agdpmod=pikera  to your bootargs. It works for my RX 5700 XT.

I should have been more specific.

My entire boot arg is agdpmod=pikera -lilubetaall

 

I also just updated whatevergreen to version 1.5

Nice to see Kepler support is still there. I'm going to try and get a fresh install done tonight. Hopefully it doesn't take too long.

I used my test HD and it took ages.

Of course a SSD or NVME will be faster then a Sata HD!

 

Good luck.

It's gonna take too long. I need to sleep. Tomorrow it is!

installation without problems, I have not made any modifications to my EFI that I use with BigSur, I have not had black screen blocks.
